What was it like before the internet was invented? The library was about the only place you could get resources and it took forever to find what you were looking for. Information was also found orally and meant walking from one person to another if one did not satisfy you. My research shows that information is one of the biggest advantages of the internet. Because of the internet information was easily sourced and it made people’s lives easier.
Research shows that the internet was mainly developed for communication, and it is the most primary use; Because of the internet there is no more sending letters that took days upon days, upon days to get to its destination, and that same time to get back. Only the internet can let us communicate for free and let it seem as if we are right next to each other.
The internet is one of the best places for entertainment; it is another popular in web surfing. One can surf the web at their own leisure. Socialization is a part of entertainment for many young people but not only socializing but also there are also games for the game lovers, celebrity sites and places to watch and post all the latest music videos; there are lots more things that are available for entertainment.
Promoting a business? Need to find a specific service? This where the internet comes in. ‘I would say to anybody who is doing a business not web based that you still need an Internet presence.’ words by Eddy Chavey an entrepreneur. Many businesses are now internet based saving people the hassle to travel in far distances. Even banks are now on the internet.
There are many good ways in which the internet is used; and according to my research seventy-five percent of web searches are used for the thing mentioned earlier in my speech. We cannot remain in the past anymore the evolution of the internet is used every day and is used for excellent reasons. In some ways it can be a menace but that only depends on how it is used. There is no way the internet be called menace by people unless this person is only seeing and/ or using negatively. But now I ask you to look into what you use the internet for. Can you still call it a menace then? I think not.
Is the internet today’s evolution or is it tomorrow’s menace? I think it is today’s evolution, but the question is; what do you think? Thank you.
