Which example best shows the global impact of the internet? an american writer uses the internet to conduct research for a report. a chilean reporter shares live footage of an earthquake on the web. a japanese student emails a school friend about weekend plans. a french traveler makes online airline reservations for a vacation.

I believe the answer is:
- A Chilean reporter shares live footage of an earthquake on the Web.

This is a perfect example of the power of the internet, where we have a country that is very far away and something happens in there and by using the internet you can visually see what is happening there in the exact same moment even though you may be on the total opposite side of the world.
