Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular task you are being asked to reflect on the impact the internet might have to 'life' in the US in the next decade. Remember that this is an exercise of sociological imagination. Your professor is asking you to imagine how the technology might impact life further. I suggest keeping your answers brief but drawn from your own reality so that you can relate your ideas to experience. I suggest using this simple outline:
1. Life in the US - 100 words
2. Internet involvement - 100 words
3. Sociological utilization - 150 words
This is an opinion piece but it will be good to draw from other published sources as well. Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification. You can also use the listed resources to further explore the topic. Good luck with your studies.
Sincerely,
AE 105878/Xenia Jones
