how is the internet changing the way we live?

Have you tried googling yourself? It is actually funny that you can google anything nowadays. Even the most specific thing, you can google. I wonder if you can google “google.” What I am delivering here is that almost everyone everywhere has access to the internet that anything that anyone might have thought of is in the internet. And since information is power, through the internet which has unlimited amount of information, anyone everywhere anywhere anytime has the power to influence, inspire, sell, buy, flirt, court, and do whatever through the internet. And the best thing is that you only need fingers and even without fingers anyone can use the internet because of the new technology. But just like any other thing in this world, there is a negative in the internet. Here anyone can share their vices, can abuse people, can steal identities, money, can scam, can kill, can practice violence, and can even damage a person through the internet. Small children can be exposed to violence early on because of the internet that can break their futures and cause them to develop psychological disorders.

The internet have had been the reference of students nowadays but are everything in the internet true? Well since everyone in the net can write anything, how can you trust the internet? Well it is good now that there are trusted sites but still the fact that anyone can write anything and access the internet makes it untrustworthy. How can we be sure now that what students learn is genuine?

The internet provided a very fast way of communicating that made it easier for Filipinos to communicate with their loved ones who is working abroad. This is probably one of the best traits of the internet because this made having a family while working abroad easier. Also this gave way to new ways of knowing people, finding friends, staying in touch with friends and such. Also, the fast way of communicating business transactions so that developing countries like us can compete internationally.

The internet among other uses also gives entertainment to the people. Games, shows, videos, tutorials and such are among the things that I use the internet for entertainment. This gives people from all over the world quality entertainment wherever and how remote their location can be.

I cannot even imagine or remember life before the internet. I can’t think of a way how my parents searched for information, data and other stuff when there was no google yet, even if there was already the internet. But as I think of this, I cannot think of a way how thinking this is a good thing.
