Modern society has developed many ways to send and receive information between nations in seconds, revolutionizing the method of human-to-human communication. Moving from hieroglyphics representing an average day in the eyes of a pre-modern civilization, to email and texting and the World Wide Web used to transform a communications industry into an unprecedented scene from our technological ancestors.

Besides the military, even musicians, artists, and even scientists rely on the Internet to distribute and possess the information they need today.
