- 00:23
to an elite few who knew that such a thing
- 00:25
is possible Remember we've changed that in the last question
- 00:28
but the internet came to be born and it has

And since the sentence later says revolutionized while the verb
- 01:29
we're looking for is in the past and not past
- 01:32
continuous as in was coming So get rudy is well
- 01:36
there for the right answer here yet it came to
- 01:38
fruition and has since revolutionize Yeah gotta people stealing music
- 01:44
Yeah that's what happens
