Prologues especifically explain or set the stage for what happens next, this information is important to differentiate it from regular openings, In some movies the prologue can be identified easily as it apears like an explanatory text before the movie, for example post apocalyptic movies: "In the year 2300 Earth is devastated and the only humas alive live underground..."

The internet also helps us stay in touch with our friends and family and helps sever those distances of being apart. Comparably, professionals in personal business can use it to keep in touch with their clients. You can also share just about anything on the internet, and people with common interests and ideas can bring you closer than never before.
