Week Six: The internet Highway
In this Generation, internet is very important to humans. It help us to communicate to others and it help us to do the things easy, specially to the students.
The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer
networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission,
get information from any other computer (and sometimes it talks directly to users at other computers). The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one
university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other universities. Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility
accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of
the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. And whatever it’s called, the majority of people in developed nations are
now going online to exchange electronic mail (E-mail) and instant
messages; participate in chat groups; post and read messages in social
networking sites and blogs, “surf” the world wide web; and many other
online activities. Even children are no exception in fact they are more
likely to be online than adults.
Personal computers are no longer the only method used for accessing the
Internet. Children can go online from personal computers at home, a
friend’s house, in school, a library, club, or cafe. Many game consoles
can be connected to the Internet and used for chatting and other online
interaction. It is also possible to access the Internet on mobile
devices such as cellular telephones and other hand-held devices. In other
words children don’t have to be in the company of responsible adults to
use the Internet. And once you’re connected to the Internet you’re able to exchange
information with people who use other providers unless you’re using a
service that offers restricted access such as blocking mail from outside
the service or from people who aren’t pre-approved by a child’s parent. But internet have benefits that reference the information such as airline fares, encyclopedias, movie
reviews, news, sports, stock quotes, and weather are readily available.Like what I've said internet can help us in many ways. But internet can affects us in different ways. It's either good or bad. Its a matter of how we used internet in a nice way.
