Internet

The Internet is probably one of the most remarkable inventions in terms of media, education, market, and personal accessibility. If you’re looking for something, it’s almost a guarantee you can find it on the Internet.

Media on the Internet has gotten almost as popular as media on the television. And the good thing about news being on the Internet is you can find exactly what you are looking for instead of having to wait for it to be announced on the T.V. or radio. Usually the media stations that televise and broadcast their information even have websites themselves that you can get the same information off of.

Education on the Internet is also very accessible. There are many educational websites that can really help add a spin to an otherwise strictly textbook class. And again, you can find almost anything you would ever want to know (and then some) on the Internet, although some things can be a little less than factual, so one must be wary when obtaining one’s information from the Internet.

Buying and selling on the Internet is also very easy. Businesses can exchange mass quantities of stock and money simply with the click of a button. It is just as easy for individuals, who may simply want to buy a frying pan, or a new car. There’s no need for phone calls, personal money exchange, meetings; just a click of the mouse and you can buy or sell anything.

Then there are personal networking sites where one can communicate with other people. This is very convenient if you want to know how other people are doing, if you want to talk to them, or if you just want to meet new people. These are great because you can see all of your friends’ updates and talk to a lot more of them than you could by phone.

I don’t think I could live without the Internet. Thank you Al Gore. =P
