The Internet and Technology


I love this modern world. There are a great number of inventions that have transformed our cities and countryside, and all walks of life. The internet, in particular, has brought convenience, connection, pleasure, and information to many, and complexity and stress to but a few. Still young, yet fast growing, the internet has turned the society into a different one from what our grandfathers used to know.

An important social change is easy access to so much valuable information online. Along with it is telecommuting, using computer technology. Another change is the wide-spreading celular phone, connecting anywhere, anytime with anyone on the planet and beyond. In only a decade, millions, if not billions, of users are engaged in such social reds as Facebook, twitter and what not, for distant social activities or just for the fun of it. E-mail, E-game, E-book, E-class, E-bank, all via internet, are increasingly popular. All these and more are good news to people called the generations A.C.--after computers. I enjoy the present enormously.

Some of these chnges sound bad news to a few not content with the negative effectets of the internet on our society, even our civilization as a whole. And not without reasons. For example, technology is making communication so much easier that many choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. There is danger in the coming decades for our society relying on computer screens rather than face-to-face contact for its main means of communication.

I cannot fail to see the internet and computer technology being the most important invention since, perhaps, electricity, to the benefit of the society.
Obviously, the advantages outweigh disadvantages. From another viewpoint, that computers have made life complex and stressful is understandable. Probably, it is the regret of the nostalgic past in so far as it represents the lost youth in the time B.C.--before computers. As for me, the internet, the new kid of modern technology, is all right. It works wonders. I love the kid.
