Have you ever thought about the role of the Internet in your life? How much time do you spend here every day? What opportunities and benefits it provides for you?
Today the majority of people use the Internet for communication with friends, relatives or just acquaintances from different parts of the world. It is much cheaper to talk to them for example with the help of Skype then to phone them. With the help of the Internet the letter you have written to a friend of yours who live on the other continent will be delivered to him in a few seconds though if you post this letter it will take days before your friend can finally read it! It’s also useful for those people who study foreign languages and want to have some practice but don’t have an opportunity to go the country where the language they are studying is the national language. Such people can have practice on the Internet! Isn’t it wonderful?
The Internet also provides great opportunities for doing business throughout the world and making money. On the Internet you can find any information you want; some women even manage to find husbands online (for example my cousin Jennifer met her husband on “Free ethnic dating services“). And certainly at present you can buy on the Internet anything you want.
Several days ago I made a research and turned to my relatives and acquaintances with a question:
- What was the last thing that you bought online?
My mother managed to buy sets online; my sister was lucky to buy women’s shampoo via the Internet. My neighbour was visiting Men’s cosmetics products store right at the moment when I came to her (she was looking for something for her beloved husband). My cousin had chosen some vitamins in a Vitamins online store before my telephone call.
As you see today the Internet has changed our lives completely; it has made it more convenient, easy and pleasant. Don’t you think so?
