If we compare our present life with the kind of life we led few years ago when internet facility was not known to people, we can easily understand the kind of drastic changes this has brought in our lives. If this is not easy then imagine living your life without internet for next few months and you would surely understand the importance of internet in your life. Take yourself away from your email, your online casino games, your instant news and contact with friends via chat, and you will realize how the Internet has invaded your life.
For instance, earlier when students had to write assignments, they had to go to libraries and take a lot of pain looking for books that would help them with a particular topic. After finding books, they had to sit for hours in libraries to complete their assignments. Now when students are given assignments, all they do is they open a search engine and simply type the topic they want to write their assignments on and a load of information is loaded in front of their eyes and in few minutes, their assignment is ready.
There is hardly any topic that you can think of which would not be available on internet; everything under this sun seems to be available on internet. Information is only one of the advantages of computers, apart from this, emails, chatting, shopping, news of the world, entertainment- all are just a click away! This characteristic has made internet so popular among people.
Now all of us are well connected to all our friends at one place and at one go through social networking sites. And we do not have to spend a lot of money to be in touch with them through calls, all you have to do is to send a message or two whenever you want and the cost of this is almost negligible.
For all these reasons we can say that it is internet that has made our world-a global village!
