According to “The Internet Can Make You Smarter, Experts Say” by Lance Whitney, experts agree that internet allows people to broaden their education, as well as their imagination. Whitney is claiming that the internet not only offers a source for higher education, but also offers a source of inspiration to those who choose to use it. Whitney then goes on to explain that most experts feel that “the gadgets and applications destined to capture our imaginations in the next 10 years” are going to be stunning to even the smartest minds today (9). Whitney is claiming that the internet can lead to astonishing contraptions that will improve lifestyles. Finally, Whitney states that sixty five percent of the 900 participants of the report “The future of the Internet IV” agree that the internet can enhance the human cognitive skills.…
“The Internet contains the world’s best writing, images, and ideas.” (Is Google making us stupid?) The internet is where we get our most valuable information, we can get that information very easily and fast. Technology is referring to social media and search engines. Though others might say that technology risks our healt h and distracts us, technology is beneficial to both the mind and the body. The reason technology is beneficial is because, it gives people support, technology transforms people’s lives, and it develops your brain.…
Technology seems to be making a huge impact on our lives every day. The internet has everything you need to know and more. There’s search engines that can help you do your shopping, there’s games, there’s chat rooms and also recourses to help yourself out in schooling needs. However I do see how it has been taking over our world. In the story “Y2K CHATRM43” Adrein talks about how Joel spends way to much time on the computer and thinks it’s useless, however Joel sees it differently. In this story I agree with Joel, there’s so much to do on the Internet, it can be very helpful for social needs and for schooling needs. Chat groups can be used to help you out in school. Having that can help you out with understanding school work and what not. The internet is also helpful with school because teachers can put the assignments online so we can access them. Online books help out a lot also instead of having to carry that huge text book home you’ve got it all right there in front of you online. Another reason I feel as if the internet is very useful is because there’s videos online that explain school work and certain subjects. If your teacher doesn’t explain the assignment good enough for you, theres online videos that can help you get a better understanding. They say in the future all schooling will be online, all kids will have their own computers to do their work and there won’t be teacher lectures anymore! What will the future bring?…
Technology is often used to find out information. It is a faster, quicker and easier way to get answers from Websites. Mohsenzadega refers to this (448), “….with just the click of a button on our handy-dandy little gadgets.” Everything is there, with no need to struggle or go out to get things done. Some people do not need the doctor for check-ups. They can get the information from Medline.com which allows people to self-diagnose (448). Computers help us stay up to date with everything, whether it is the weather, or a family member that lives far. It is cheaper to communicate now over Facebook, Twitter, Facetime or Oovoo because it’s free, instead of buying a phone card every time they need to keep in contact with a relative. It has also brought people together from all over the world. They meet new people find out about them and most of the time fall in love and end up together. The internet is very useful and good. Some people feel better behind screens and are able to express themselves better and open up more to people, when they are not face to face. People get to know them better on the internet and get a lot of information from there. Just the simple fact of entertainment, of having memories with…
Computers and technology give us new ways to communicate, be entertained, socialize, and learn about things we're interested in and the world around us. With computers and technology we can now do in minutes, sometimes even seconds, what used to take some of us and our parents days and sometimes weeks to accomplish. Most can now even be done from the comfort of our homes.…
As seen from today, the most important thing that changed or developed the world is the internet, and it is the greatest innovation of human beings. Even though the internet invented just few decades ago, it becomes part of the human life today. Without the internet, the human life seems impossible or insufficient. The internet has thousands of advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. It allows individuals to communicate each other more easy and fast. For example, people send e-mail across the world just for a second; they can chat and see each other through the Skype or any other messenger regardless of the distance. Also, it allows people to increase their knowledge because they can find any types of information from the internet. Therefore, people can study in the U.S University even though they are living in other country. Nowadays, lots of universities offer online study for the international student.

They do not have to go banks to make some payments or exchanges; they…
Technology is improving and advancing rapidly every day. New inventions and ideas are thought of and produced so quickly that new versions of a certain technology are proved outdated within months of their release. Our lives have been made simpler with devices such as GPS, advanced medical equipment and smart phones that can do almost anything it is told to do. However, nothing really compares to the introduction and growth of the Internet. The Internet has had the largest effect on life in this country.

There are many good things on the internet but there are also as many bad. Search engines, such as Google and Bing, are often used to find information from sites like CNN. However, search engines are prone to many distractors such as video games or viral videos. The internet isn’t a bad place for learning, but if the internet is not used properly it can prevent someone from learning what they need to. The internet is home to many things that can cause the mind to move away from learning and instead cause a loss of innocence and cause people to stay in isolated areas for long periods of time such as an office or bedroom.…

Besides communication, people can easily receive information through the Internet. People have to get information about their job, life, or society. Using the Internet, people can find all kinds of information which they need in their lives by using computer. For example, people can go to CNN’s website to watch today’s news, Google recipes that they want to cook tonight, and use the search engine to find other information. People can know many things and find a lot of information in the world as if they sit at home. In the past, it was impossible to find information instantly by sitting at home.…

Many people say that the Internet is the most important invention ever, and I definitely believe that it is true. Since the first artificial satellite, the Sputnik, was launched to the space, the world has never been the same. Nowadays computer is so affordable that in every home you can find one. What is more, the Internet connects people all around the world. Computers didn’t exist a century ago and many people might have had happy lives without them. Life would stop without computers. You wouldn’t even stop to think about how many common products are operated by computers. Our cars, microwave ovens, wristwatches and thousands of other gadgets. Appearing on the internet you can search “WWW”-means World Wide Web-for information when you need to. There are millions of websites storing an endless amount of data. You can find many dozens of information about everything on the internet. E.g. history, animals, plants, nature, music, famous people etc. There is countless number of services available on the net. What is more you can download music, films, listen to foreign radio stations, play games, read and subscribe newspapers and magazines and you can even purchase or sell various products , order food,. In addition you can transfer money through the Internet, and learn languages on-line on several web pages and practice English because most users speak the language. You can keep in touch with friends or other people from other countries to write them e-mails if you have an e-mail access and it is very fast .The list is endless, and I honestly like to use it because as I have experienced I always get to useful information through the Internet, and gain knowledge about healthy life.…
