Power of Internet
I was watching FIFA World Cup South Korea vs. Argentina with my friends until few minutes ago. During the game, I went on Facebook to see what other people have to say about the game, and one post dragged my attention. It was a link to YouTube, which captured a goal made by Argentina. It was literally 2-3 minutes after that goal was made. I was pretty surprised by the speed of Internet users. It only takes few minutes to upload certain information and which means that it only takes a very short period of time to spread the information worldwide. Even though South Korea lost and I'm very upset, it amused me to see how people get connected through the Internet and how World Cup is one of the greatest way to bring everyone together on a global scale.

I know what you mean. Before the internet it was hard to get the information on sporting events unless you were watching it on television. Often times it was necessary to wait for the information to be spread through the local paper or a radio broadcast. This ability, even on the small scale of sports , is just another example of the power of the internet to interconnect people throughout the world.
