The internet has completely changed how we share culture in many ways:

1. Access for Everyone:

   • In 2021, there were over 4.9 billion people using the internet around the world.
   • That means about 60% of all people have access to the web.

2. Fast Sharing:

   • You can upload and share new content in just a few seconds.
   • In comparison, sending things through TV or print usually costs between $10,000 to$30,000, but sharing online costs almost nothing.

3. More Voices:

   • Over half (52%) of the content online is made by users like you and me.
   • This helps more cultures and stories to be shared.

4. Big Money:

   • By 2021, the digital media industry became a huge business, worth about $300 billion.

Overall, the internet has changed how we make and share cultural things forever.
