An all-in-one dictionary, map, encyclopedia, yellow pages, friend and guide, this internet seems to have answers for everything!
Undoubtedly an end to end solution to every query under the sun, the web of internet has spread its influence all over the globe; shrinking the world into a small,tiny entity. With answers, knowledge, information and options, it certainly has a lot to offer with an ease of a single click. What started off as a tool for global development and means of sharing data, soon entered each one's life as every household, school, college, office and business welcomed this guest that chose to stay forever.
From an optional facility to a desirable feature, from a beneficial convenience to a ‘must have’ necessity, it has been with us for a long time now. All the excitement around its entry died soon as it assumed the role of being a very essential requirement of life. While food, clothing and shelter still continue to top the list of our basic needs, this ‘internet’ has slowly sneaked in to grab the same honor and has been able to achieve it with total success!
Learning, exploring and finally enjoying it, this web has unknowingly made a special place in our routine. With a powerful network and an excellent connection it continues to invade every possible location as more and more people get added to this global network.
As a fuel that runs these blogs, internet is
the only means and mode that makes it all possible. While creating a platform
to reach out to a greater audience, I realized the power hidden within the
threads of this net. An excellent stage
to showcase talents and skills, it provides opportunities in every dimension,
every sphere, every direction, every race !
With
a strong presence throughout, it has paved way for innovation and development.
Think of any field and you realize that internet has already cast its spell ,adding
absolute dependence and precious value to its name.
Be it
education, trade, entertainment or finance, internet has options for all. From
allowing online money transactions to helping us find a location, from teaching
a new language to letting us plan a vacation, from making reservations to
helping us enjoy our favorite song collection, the list is absolutely endless. Video
and text chats besides audio calls and emails have added a new touch to
communication making it a blessing for all those like us as we stay connected
to every aspect back home. Social networking sites and messengers have occupied
an integral part of our life as we learn, share, enjoy and stay updated with
people far and wide.
Provision of online tutorials, e-books,
virtual resources and educational websites give easy access to the field of
education. Upgrading skills while learning about something new is exciting as
the web world allows one to enter into cross sections. Bringing every
possible piece of information at our doorstep, it is impossible to stay
outdated in today’s world !
Search engines that hunt and capture every
little thing we ask for,function at a different,dynamic level
altogether. Be it an image of a rare flower or an exotic plant from other end
of the world, be it a video of a favorite song since childhood or a stage
performance of most popular actor, be it facts about a far away country or
details about latest development in any field, internet is truly the one
-stop solution for all.
The most
common belief of today’s generation - ‘if a particular thing does not exist on
the internet, it does not exist in real world too!’ points towards the wide
scope of this web as it dominates every possible domain. With an ability to
reach out to millions of people and spread awareness about any issue, internet
dons the hat of a spokesperson to educate, motivate and inspire.
Truly
beneficial in every way, this internet is a tool for our development only if we
know how and what to look out for. Due to the fear of piracy, viral attacks and
hacking ,the aid of internet demands our thoughtful usage. Protecting and
maintaining internet security as a guard to prevent online mishaps is necessary
in every way.
Over dependence on the internet for completion
of course curriculum can limit the natural potential and true skills of
students as it provides a readymade solution for every single aspect . Though
it gets us close to people, it cannot replace the fun of being right next to
them. While seeking help from the online world is beneficial, it is necessary
to look at it as any other service or facility before it intrudes into our
thinking process and gifted brains!
Thinking about the entry of internet in my
life, the first memories date back to high school years when courses in
computer class taught us how to use the internet and explore websites. It is
unusual to imagine such a trend now, as every household has experts of this big web world while kids of today seem to possess this knowledge right from birth! From small children to old grandparents, each individual is nowhere less than a master! Slow connection of a dial up to a
slightly updated device of modem and finally to the high speed Wi-Fi, I feel
fortunate to have seen the birth and growth of this www world!
Hope this
internet continues to weave an endless web of information, knowledge and
service as nothing is interesting unless it starts with a www. and ends with a .com !
Let us imagine our present day life without the internet, what would it be like ....??
