The Internet, as an “Electronic Slavery”

Abstract

Telecommunication is the exchange of information in any form (voice, data, text, images, audio, and video) over networks. Today, the Internet is a massive collection of private and public networks.  Each of these networks is connected to other networks, forming internetworks. Since the advent of Internet in 1969, a lot of technological revolution had taken place.  It has been able to reduce the entire world to a global village.  As with all human activities, attempting to solve a problem, leads to creating another one.  The Internet is not left out of this scenario. This work dwells on the various ways the Internet had been used to enslave mankind.  A field work survey was equally used to buttress this explicitly.
