All Around Us
As i lounge in the Westin Hotel near down town Minneapolis, i cannot help but notice how convenient and widespread the internet has become. I relied on my labtops wireless connectivity to write this blog, but when i heard there was no wi-fi available i did not stress, because i have realized just how easily accessable the internet has become. The web is litteraly available anywhere you can possibly imagine. As we were driving through fargo the weather started to worsen, so my roomate Shane google'd highway conditions on I-94. With in seconds we were informed that we were going through a small snow storm and we would be out with in no time. While we were visiting an Apple shop at the mall of america, i was amazed at how i could watch my friends youtube videos in alaska, from just a demo I-phone. It really is amazing how convenient the internet makes our lives. From checking our bank account balances, to ordering pizza, it seems as if everything is moving to the cyberworld. And why not? It boasts the largest audience in America, and grows everyday. The internet is the most amazing source of media, because it teaches, informs, entertains, and connects us together. No other medium can top what the internet has done, or will do. I am excited to see what the web has instore for us in the future, and cannot fathom the amount of possibilities in holds.

Beebo-
ReplyDeleteI also am pretty amazed by all the virtual and online life there is around us. Social networking is a big part of my life. I have pretty much every social networking site you can think of…seriously. I mainly only use MySpace and Facebook, but I still have the other ones. I realize the dangers of social networking, but I usually don’t pay any attention to those fishers. I usually can tell the difference between a message that is spam and one that is legit. Unfortunately, though, not everybody does. I know some people who are so gullible that they’ll click on anything!
Beebo I would agree that the internet possesses many great abilities. It can aid people in answering questions. We are also able to gain access to it from anywhere. The only drawbacks come the ability of people to put viruses and spam on it to send to everyone. This causes a lot of trouble to the innocent users. Overall the internet is a great place.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of information that can be found over the internet, and it is becomming easier to access as time goes on. It makes many things easier for businesses and even for anyone just poking around on it. I find it useful to find out what's happening at home. For some people it becomes a big part of their life, and they forget that people did live without it 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe internet has now taken over. You don't even need a computer to sit in your room and order a pizza, download a movie, and invite a friend over. I am waiting for the day that we are in little pods watching a screen that virtualizes work or school and then go have a social life with other computer generated people.
ReplyDeleteNow I am not saying I don't use the internet. Don't get me wrong I love the internet. I just think that people that sit on it all day and generate a life on second life or WOW are going to find themselves very lonely one day.
It is crazy to see how much you can do in your daily life on the internet. It has such a wide variety that is very easy to be mobile with. My friend has a verizon wireless internet card so the "network" is with him wherever he goes and i do beleive he can get internet connection pretty much anywhere even while driving!
ReplyDeleteIts absolutely true that internet has taken over the world.These days internet hav a become a part of out life. It doesnt matter whether we want some entertainment or whether we need to collect some information about a project, internet is the best place to look at.
