The story "Civil Peace" by Chinua Achebe follows a character called Jonathan Iwegbu in the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War. The civil war was extremely disruptive and destructive, and Jonathan has lost almost everything he had. However, the aftermath of the war is not much better. Violence, crime and suffering are still rampant, and it is obvious that things will not be back to normal for a very long time.
The title "Civil Peace" is therefore used in an ironic sense. Achebe wants us to remember that, even though technically peace has been restored, the situation is still far from normal. Moreover, the violence that was common during the war is not gone, and things are still not much better for common people like Jonathan Iwegbu.

If I knew I’d tell you but I dont
All the first points you have written are true, but there is si much more you could say...
It can provide information quickly to large groups of people, and has allowed the world to become more connected; through businesses being able to communicate globally from HQ to factories or family members being able to skype or IM from one side of the world to another.
The internet brings us all together really, its interactive and lets people have their say, overall it's a worldwide community. Other forms of media simply don't have this to such an extent, and so thats what I guess makes the internet stand out!
Think about how you use the internet, whether it be social sites like facebook or twitter, or creative sites like pinterest or tumblr. You could also include these thoughts in your answer!
I hope this helped! Have a nice weekend :))
