In my opinion, access to the internet is absolutely a human right. While not guaranteed by any laws or constitution, the internet has become such an enormous part of human life that I feel it has become common sense that everyone alive today needs access to the internet. I am not saying that every person on Earth needs lightning fast speeds in order to play video games or stream videos. I believe that some sort of internet connection should be given to all people so that they can have communication with other people as well as access to information. The internet has such an enormous amount of information available. If access to the internet were a basic human right, people would have easy access to any information out there. This would lead to a much more intelligent and educated populace, which is required to have a functioning democracy. The other added benefit of universal internet access would be the ability to communicate. If people in third world countries had quicker ways to communicate with outside markets, they could more easily access resources that their communities need.  Having internet in these places would also help bring educators to the area so that more people could learn about the world.
