The Internet has been a fascinating and significant technological advancement ever
since its commencement. Met initially by scepticism and reluctance, it has gradually
made its way into almost every home globally. Considered to be one of the most
impressive technological developments, the Internet keeps getting better year after year.
Young and old, professionals and homemakers alike are utilizing the Internet to enrich
their lives. The immensity of the Internet allows the modern day tech savvy user to
engage in varied services offered by the Internet, such as gaining knowledge,
performing financial transactions, socializing, keeping in touch with near and dear ones
as well as keeping oneself entertained. The appeal of the Internet is augmented even
more owing to the ease with which an individual can join a group on a social
networking site (SNS) or a chat room that appeals to one's likes and find people with
similar mentalities and beliefs (Joinson, McKenna, Posters, & Reips, 2007).
