The internet is one of the biggest inventions that have accord to the world. The Internet has been used for so many different things like research, communication, a way to become social, and a way of listening to music; watch videos, and so much more. You can say the internet has been the greatest thing that has happened world wide. As technology advances the internet is a big part that impacts our lives. The internet is used in all sorts of jobs and as time go’s by many new web sites have helped our lives become easier.
Many stores now have there own websites where we can order online and choose if we want things delivered or we can also see how the store is. For example if they have something that we are looking for like a dress or shoes. An advantage for costumers looking for a great place to hang out or try new food is visiting a restaurants website. The website gives information on how the waiters are to there customers, what kind of food they serve, as well as how good there food is. Checking a restaurant online is a great advantage that the internet has given us. A personal experience that I can compare to this is when I was looking for a restaurant to celebrate my 16th birthday party. I went online to see the restaurants that fit my ideal food choice and the way I pictured my birthday on being. I got to see many beautiful pictures on the restaurants that I liked and finally the final two that I liked were the ones I chose to visit. In my opinion this is one of the great new ideas that the internet has brought to us.
Another example of the cool new things that the internet provides us with is the ability to learn about so many different cultures, crafts, foods, arts, music, and a way to explore the world with just typing a word. Over the time that the internet has become faster, more popular and a part of our daily lives we learn so many things about the world. The internet is a great way to inform our selves about economical problems, wars around the world, and other interesting world wide concerns. The internet can be very informative in many different ways but can also be very entertaining. The internet provides us with ways to see different attractions around the world, a way to help us plan our next vacation. Another great thing about the internet is the way it helps us learn about different food around the world and different styles, beauty secrets, traditions, and different languages.
There are so many amazing things that the internet provides us with, for example the internet is a great way to hear music, download music, watch videos and download videos, it’s a great way to post personal videos , and a great way to meet new people around the world. One of the greatest inventions that has made the internet very popular have been social websites like Gmail, yahoo, MySpace, face book, twitter, and so man y other social websites. All these social websites help people post pictures of themselves, family members, friends, or great moments that they have had. Besides that they also help people talk about themselves and have conversation with others with out worrying about the distance between those two persons. Social websites have helped many people become more secure about themselves and have made people come out of there shells you can say.
In my opinion most of these social networks have there pros and cons. Although for many people these websites have been about fun times and just having a great time talking with friends for others these websites have been a nightmare. Many people especially teens have been cyber bullied. Others have been made fun of and many teens feel depress after and some have committed suicide. Many teens sometimes don’t feel secure about themselves and others try to take advantage of that. Another con about these social websites is the facts that as teens we don’t think clearly of our actions as long as there “fun”, “cool”, or make us “popular”. Many teens and I can say some adults post things online that they think not everyone can see or that once they press delete its gone for ever, but yet they are very mistaken.
The internet can be a very dangerous place depending on the viewer. Sometimes teens post sexual pictures online not knowing how it’s going to affect them in the future or maybe the next day. Many teens sometimes write down inappropriate comments online, or post pictures of things that they should not be doing. The internet can be a great way to be social and have fun but as a responsible person people need to understand that what ever is posted in the internet its there for the rest of there lives .Any one can see there personal websites no matter if its “blocked” . The internet can be dangerous in the way that many people can create fake profiles and sometimes can be a danger to the community. We have all heard of cases of rapist that have earned young girls and young boys trust and end up hurting them.
The internet is a great way to express who you really are and to express your taste in music, people, and so many other personal things. The internet has changed our world completely. There are so many new ways to work and have fun. Some examples of new websites and creations on the internet are Wikipedia, web 2.0, Silicon Valley , YouTube, face book, podcast, blog, open – source software, and finally Linux. Wikipedia is a website where you can find information about many different things. You can say it’s almost like Google just that Wikipedia gives you information about that particular subject. An example would be lets say you want to know about the Russian revolution, Wikipedia would give you information like when it started when it ended, who led it, and so many more important facts. Web 2.0 is a sense of community that could post thoughts and experiences to share with others. This is what most social websites are made of. Silicon Valley is a region of WCASE of San Francisco known for its high technology industries. You Tube is a website where you can post and update personal videos. This websites provides different types of music videos, events, and so much more. Face book is a personal page where you can chat and post personal things. Podcast is a newscast of television source that you download from an iTunes store. A blog is a column of website that a person holds with there own information. In my personal experience I use my blog to post my personal essays and express my self through writing. Open-source software is a computer science or relating to source code that is available to the public. Finally Linux is a trademark for an open source version of the UNIX operating system. All these websites and inventions have made the internet a more advance way to use technology.
A great way to use the internet is the amazing virtual world. This is a game where you create your own person or creature. A word for a character in the virtual world is Avatar. An avatar is just a made up character that can resemble its creator in different ways with the combination of who the creator wishes to be. I think the virtual world is a great experience for people to grow some self confidence and to make new friends with out feeling different. I think in the virtual world there is no racism or people that are seen as disabled or with any medical disabilities or problems. In the virtual world you can be who ever you want to be and be seen as another regular person instead of a certain race or with any disabilities.
The virtual world is a great way to express your dreams and who you wish you can be. I think if we lived in a virtual world, the world would be a great place to live in, A place where every one feels safe and secure about themselves. Just imagine being that person you wish of becoming when you were little. Imagine working in your dream job and living in your dream life. The Virtual world gives every one a piece hope and the ability to dream.
Another great thing about the internet is that it has helped many people to be able to continue going to school. The internet provides online classes for adults and any one who can not attend school personally. I think this has been one of the greatest things that the internet has provided for people. There is no excuse why any one cannot continue school if that’s what they wish to do. I think the internet has changed the world in an unbelievable way. Some things can be positive and others not so much, but there’s no doubt about it that the internet plays a very important role in our daily lives. No matter if you use the internet to get informed by the news or to socialize with friends the internet has become a part of us. In my opinion the internet is the greatest invention ever made.
