The washing machine was revolutionary change towards women as it liberated them from the oppressive domestic service towards men as they'd have to look after them and handwash their clothes. This role confined them to being a homemaker and so on but the washing machine had allowed women to become more active in the labour market which lead them to have higher status and be taken more seriously by society. The sex discrimation act supports this as part of feminist movements.
The good thing about the internet is that its fast and convenient although it 'dumbs down' society as they dont think for themselves and not all information is valid. On a brighter note it brings people closer together although not everyone has access to the same content such as China (no google). Furthemore there are issues like identity theft & paedophilia. Also net neutrality favours the elite.
