| The Internet by Bernard Howe |
| The internet is, a fountain of information. its available to everyone, in every nation. Pages for children to read and enjoy along with the spam which can really annoy. Poetry and forums for everyone's pleasure just about anything, even selling your treasure. Its even used everyday in our schools it has lots of help and good learning tools. Ethics are used by those who do care and often free help with things we do share. Friendships has spread all over the earth I even made a friend who lives way down in Perth. I enjoy it so much, I think I'm addicted I think I was warned, as this was predicted. |
One of the wonders of modern technology is the Internet. When I was younger I used to hear about all the wonderful things you could do through it, get all the information, watch videos and movies, download tons of things and well, make friends.
As strange as it may sound, I have been able to access this amazing tool to my heart’s content only since the last one year. Or maybe, even less. But no matter how small that time is, I am already hooked into it.
One of my first interactions with internet was a writing website. It remains one of my most favorite sites to this date. Through it I have come in touch with people around the world, read their anecdotes and made friends all around.
And it was only one of my American friends there who suggested I join facebook. I had heard a lot about it. Many of my friends were also on it. But I was in 12th when I actually got to have my own gmail account. Hence I could not trust myself to join up a site that gobbles up the major portion of time for teens like me. My facebook account is pretty dumb, still as I do on go about adding everyone out there. I am very much choosy about it and add up people who are relevant to me. I want to be in touch with people who are important to me, not to just blindly increase the number of friends on facebook. That also helps to keep my wall uncluttered.
In my brief time on internet I have come across so many people, from so many different corners of the world. In fact, I think I have talked to more people outside India than within in through the internet. And in their own ways they have left an impact on my life. I have never been a very extrovert sort of person, even though I am not the most unfriendly of people. Just that I was shy. But over the net I am way too candid. I can all about all things that I would consider stupid to speak face-to-face. These people that I interact with on day-to-day basis now are as much real to me as the people who are physically around me. They share with me their problems as I share my own with them. When I am sad they are the ones who comfort me. And they are the ones who offer me suggestions on to overcome my problems.
As much as I hate to live in an age which is polluted in every sense of the word, I am indeed glad that I belong to a time when the whole world is literally in our drawing room. There are so many things we can access through the internet, and it is never going to end. In the mean time I will make friends, and maybe meet some people who would shape my life in the future.
