What is the benefit of easily connecting to people and information?

The benefit is you can easily connect to people and information easily. Back a long time ago it would take weeks or months to contact people that weren't nearby. Now it takes seconds with very little effort. The only thing that could be done for contacting people that were far away was by writing letters.  Today we have email, social networking sites, phones for calling and text messaging, and a bunch of other tools on the internet.

What Kind of Application I Would Make

If I could make an application, I would probably make a game. I think it would be intense and games sell pretty well so I could make a bit of money off it. If I didn't make a game I would probably make some sort of tool to help people, although I'm not sure what exactly.

Software Suites

A software suite is a collection of seperate application programs bundled together and made available as a group. It is cheaper to buy a suite than all the applications invididually.
Productivity suites you can buy and use for buisiness work. They are professional-grade application programs.
Alternate office suites you can download off the internet for free. The downside to this is if you share or save a document on the internet with an application depends on the server that is providing the application.
