Why the internet is better than not having the internet

With the coming of the internet the world, itself became a little bit smaller. With a push of a button, we connect to so much information of things all around the world. It seems like everyone we know has an email address and everywhere we go has a web address. I personally think that the internet is one of the best things that happened to the world. I use this on a daily bases and I really do not know what I would do with out it. It is a great tool because we are able to talk to people first hand, one can voice their opinion, and one can find out just about everything that one needs to know on a cretin subject. As I will show, in my opinion this is better than not having online access.

One may remember back in elementary school we used to have a pen pal. We used to write a letter then wait a week or two to get a response. In this time, we would forget about some of the things that where talked about and the questions that w

. . .

Then came instant messaging, Instead of a few days we get a response in a moment or two. However look at what we do have access to.

I understand that with the new technology comes a person who may abuse this. Most companies have taken advantage of this great tool, they can now have shorter commercials because they basically tell us to go to their web site to find out more on the product, and consequently we have to watch more commercials. I asked so many questions to the librarian that I am certain she was glad to see me leave. Free speech, the internet brings a completely new meaning to this. Now we have this great thing of emailing our pen pals and having answers in a day or two. Now in the middle of the “I am right and this is why you are wrong discussions” I can walk back to the computer and look it up. Yes, some of those opinions may be vulgar, racial or anti-government; however, we do not have to share the same opinions or even read what they say. I personally love this because I feel that I learn a little more because I am taking an active role in asking questions that are on my mind at that moment. Whether it is about history or a movie we just watched we may find it on the internet. I would then have to go and search for the answers in the local library. Now people can find many places that they may post other opinion, and all those who wish to read it may. We may meet new people, voice our own opinions to how ever want to read it, and look up just about everything that we want to learn that day.
