BBC asked:
How has the internet changed your life?
From stay-at-home mum, to mum and reknowned blogger. From regular Joe to all-waking-hours internet addict. A lifeline for someone with a disability or illness confined to their home and social isolation. Loss of home, marriage, children for one hooked into online gambling. The possibility to rise above poverty, for one farmer who can now access agricultural advice from others with the same crop. A chance to tell the real story, for a blogger in a country without a free press.
What difference has it made to people’s lives?
