Its been more then a decade that I have known internet. My first encounter with this technology is at the internet cafe down in Donggongon town. A town where I grew up with. If I'm not mistaken, the place called cybercafe and the rate that they charges their customer is RM4.00 pe hour and when you want to connect to the internet, you got to click the dial button to connect and before you can connect to the web, you will be hearing a funny sound for few seconds. At the rate of rm4/ hour, we are still willing to pay that much just to learn and to familiarise the www. com thingy. Yahoo has been loyal to www world and guess what? i've been using my first email address till today.
Just like human, the technology evolve all the time and today, we even have this broadband and wireless service to get connected to the internet. Now we have so many choices to access the internet. I guess most of us still using land line or we called it Streamyx because it is faster or it is some how better than broadband service. But hey! who cares how you access the net, as long as you get it there right! :). But I can assure you that most of us will prefer a faster connection all the time, even if our pc is 7 years old and still the original condition..haha..
Now with or without being aware of it, we actually can't live without accessing the internet. Lates gadgets such as Ipad and Iphone you can use to access the net easily 24 7, Anything to do with writing now been taken over by computer because of it sophisticated fuctions and what amazing things that it can do. Imagine those days if you want to send a letter, the process goes like writing it (15 min), going to the post office (30 min) and God knows when it is actually reach the address of the receiver. Now, Sharing files, email, broacasting live on line, listening ot music, watching movie and so much more is just a few clicks away. No more sweaty armpits to the post office. :)
With everything going so fast now, every body is trying to cope up with every body being fast and at the end of the day we feel so tired that we didn't actually notice how the day passed by so fast because there is still email that we haven't got the chance to reply and so on and we are basically repeating this activities all the time in front of the computer just to get things done. Those who are working most of the time infront of the computer will fine it awkward when out of a suddent their pc is not working or their boss ask them to go for a leave. 99% of them will definitely still go online to do something. Unless they are put to a place where internet is not possible.
Apart from all the good things that we benefits from internet, there are some negative things when we depends on it too much. We seldom hear things like credit card being violated and a lot more scams that has been going around. Other than that, the exposure of negativity towards our children on the internet are just a matter of fine line.
Well now I said my day will definitely in some ways will have to intereact with the internet. Every time when I need to check on something, internet is the first place that I will go. Thanks to those brains which invented this technology and all Ican say is that theres always some bad fruits among the good ones.
