The internet revolution has changed the way the world goes round. The change has been so profound, that to say that the invention of the internet could compare with the invention of fire and the wheel, would be an overstatement at all. The computer brought our technology to unimaginable heights, expanding the human lifespan, enabling us to see distant parts of the Universe and even allowing us to travel to space. But the internet has revolutionized the life of every user, changing his behavior patterns forever. We now have our virtual profiles, sometimes pathologically more important than our real personas. People spend real money on virtual good so they can feed their virtual animal. Numerous internet users download books, watch movies, listen to music online, and even use the World Wide Web to find soul mates. The economy has also profited greatly with the emergence of the internet. There are no longer any limitations on the market, as your location becomes irrelevant on the modern market.

The furniture industry has also taken advantage of the miraculous internet options. The wood for the furniture industry can now be ordered from Africa or South America in just a few clicks, at an unbeatable price. Not only that, but a furniture company can hire a freelance furniture designer from any country in the world, and pay him for the amazing design solutions, without even meeting the man.
