What are the consequences of the internet?

[Norwegian Anonymous]

I'll give thumbs up to everyone who helps me, and ofc a best answers vote to the person with the best answer.

I'm currently working on a submission for school, where I have to write about the consequences of the social media. I haven't gotten far in my writing, because I'm kinda stuck. So, I need some help. If you have som keywords or key phrases that I can work on, that would be really great.

The task has also given me the following questions to answer:
* How is the public debate in today's society?
* Who participates in the debate?
* What opportunities and constraints does the media provide for debate?
* How has the media development contributed to new forms of communication?

I didn't really understand the 'debate'-thing. Do you think my teacher meant political debates or something?

Thanks!
