How Internet Changed the Way We Live

May 30, 2013 By Mandy

To say that Internet changed the way people live is clearly an understatement. It has and is expected to continue doing so for many more years to come until the next big thing comes along. The change is almost all-encompassing since it touches on the varied aspects of human life as we know it.

Increased Abilities and Possibilities

The Internet or access to it has given people increased abilities and possibilities when it comes to reaching their personal and business goals. For one, it has successfully defeated the perennial problem of time and geographical boundaries and limitations. Internet has also provided access to information in a magnitude never before known in human history. The freedom it allows for self-expression is almost without bounds that many can imagine themselves having a certain degree of power, influence, or authority over others.

Communication has also become a lot easier and cheaper, not to mention instantaneous and accessible as the next Internet-connected computer or gadget. Creating and maintaining personal and business relationships have also been reinvented with the absence of direct and face-to-face encounters. Linking between and among related agencies and individuals also lent a different meaning to networking as sharing information became fast and verifiable.

Positive and Negative Impact of Internet Use

The changes that came with the advent of the Internet were generally positive although there are admittedly some negative effects that users have to deal with. The positive effect as to time and geographical boundaries came with the price of having to attend to attend to business obligations even beyond regular office hours because it was possible. Almost unlimited access to information is great for a person or company unless it is of such nature that invades privacy. The Internet has allowed many independent thinkers to make known their views to the public once a statement or article is published but it has likewise spawned abuse in many forms.

With a laptop or any other portable gadget at hand, communication can be done continuously and consistently but many people find themselves forgetting the value of being technologically disconnected once in a while. Having a respite from technology will allow people to consider doing things such as interacting with other people on a more personal basis. The possibility that agencies may be sharing information more than what is good for them may also arise since it is very easy and convenient to request and send them.

Change is inevitable but it has become even more so because of the Internet.
