Internet

Information technologies have become a fast growing industry in past several decades. The internet, in particular made many individuals a tremendous amount of money, and by sheer concept the World Wide Web supports the building and existence of “the State”. Local area networks (LANs) support a gross amount of people in any given area such as State College. LANs are reasonably complex for the transfer of data on such a large scale. The LANs can link individuals or organizations globally. Government agencies use the transfer of information as a source of power; the FBI can communicate within itself to determine potential terrorist threats and address them appropriately. Catalysts are namely communication and accessible information. On the other hand, when the misuse of information and abuse of these powers occurs they corrode the state.
