At the macro level is the most ubiquitous manifestation of the power of technology. The Internet (in its popular form, the WWW) and its most popular delivery method, the web browser.

As a youngster growing up in India, my first encounter with the internet changed my life as it has for millions of others. I was thousands of miles away with access to information from all around the world. And all this possible with a very basic understanding of how to navigate through html pages. The web browser for me is what made the internet accessible to laypeople. The simple interaction language of navigating linked pages, although not perfect when first introduced, was easy enough for people to understand and manipulate.

Internet has now taken many forms and is now ingrained into almost 1/3rd of the world’s population. It’s the perfect example for macro level interactions because of the timescale we interact with it on and the community level interactions it facilitates.
