I don't even have to say how useful and necessary GPS is. Google has used it wisely and implemented it in its services and devices, as well as in the Android system itself.

What is the Deep Web?

In short: The Deep Web is the internet below the surface. If it were social networks, various sites, videos, etc. were on the surface, then below the surface are hackers, scientists, drug dealers..etc. Since the average user cannot see what is below the surface of the Internet, he can read the text that follows and find out what is hidden in the depths of the Internet.
