The One Click That Connects Everyone
Do you remember the days when you wrote a letter to a friend be it overseas or living in Singapore ? It would take several days to reach their homes. Or how about looking for clothes? You would have to make a trip down to the mall and spend time trying it on.
NOW, with the introduction of the 'Internet' almost everything can be done with just several clicks of the mouse.
The Internet allows you to be in touch with the rest of the world. How does this work ? Your computer acts as an access point to a virtual highway also known as the network. As long as you stay connected on the Internet, you are establishing a line that will reach out to the network.
With such access, You am able to get many things done and source for almost any kind of information that you want to look for. Many of us are now able to:
- Chat with our friends online
- Download songs online
- Read the latest news about what's going on around the world online
- To create this BLOG ;) online
- Book your IPPT test date online
- Gaming online
- Meeting new people online
The list goes on.......
Indeed the internet has become a necessity in our daily lives. We can't do without it as we have to be in constant contact with the rest of the world. As Benjamin Franklin says, "Time is money", similarly, people no longer have the patience to sit and wait for a letter to arrive at your doorstep or step into the library to source for a book. Everything needs to be done as quickly as possible. It has even reached to the extent whereby even a web page with a slow loading time gets closed.
SO now that the Internet has got people like you and me stuck on it for hours, the quest of this technology does not stop here. Humans are always finding new ways to stay connected even on the move. Even the new elect President Obama is using the Internet to get in touch with the people by being the first President to have his inauguration video streamed online.
Therefore, if you're still wondering what the Internet is all about, I suggest you go to the nearest computer available and let your fingers do the clicking.
