Web implements

Every age provides a set of implements to deal with life in that age. The stone age produced stone implements of various sizes and shapes to deal with nuts, hunting and so on. The age of agriculture developed farm implements to produce better and more crop. The industrial age produced goods and provided services to handle mass production, distribution and consumption. We are now living in the information age and we have a myriad online avenues to explore the vast information repositories around the world. In most countries the right to information is a fundamental right and accordingly we have a spate of tools to harness information of all kinds. This age is still evolving and is impacting every sphere of human activity. Its primacy lies in its ability to generate, preserve and disseminate information and, most importantly, in the facility to garner information through a myriad tools which we may call the web implements. 

Some of the web implements include:
Google for searching 
Pocket to bookmark and read it later
Evernote to keep notes and web page snapshots
Zotero to do research on the web
Diidgo to store web clipping
