Sepideh Shahverdi: The Internet


I have lived so far from my parents; I have not seen them for long time.
However, in the virtual world of the Internet, I can see them and contact with them
regardless of our long distance. Moreover, I can share my thoughts and my pictures
through email, and my parents receive them immediately. Besides, the Internet is really convenient and inexpensive. In the old days, it was so hard to imagine
that people from their houses would be able to connect with others all around the
world. Some people think the internet is a curse; however, it is an important part
of the most people’s lives in world today. There are two main reasons why the
Internet is a blessing.

Information is the most important blessing of the Internet. Firstly, by surfing the
Internet, users can access any kind of information on any topic. All news,
reports, and speeches are at their fingertips; furthermore, they can find their needed
information for their researches on the Internet. Secondly, different websites
provide different information; the Internet users can choose some of them based on
their needs. For instance, if they are searching for a job, they can use specific sites
for job seeking. They just need the know-how to search the information on the
Internet.

Online services are another blessing of the Internet. Firstly, online banking, for
example, is available twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. If users need
any services such as bill payment or money transfer, they are able to do it immediately on the Internet, so it makes banking services much easier and faster. Secondly, shopping is another great available service on the Internet. Users can purchase at their convenience from their houses and save their time.


In conclusion, the Internet makes a huge different in people’s lives. It provides a lot of information, so the users do not need to go to several libraries. Moreover, some services such as banking and shopping are available online; therefore, people do not have to enter real places. Due to online services, people feel more comfortable, and they can make time for their other activities. In addition, neither time nor distance is object on the Internet. All in all, the Internet can be used as the best and fastest way to find data and receive services; I personally believe that it is a revolution of communication, information, and services. Besides, innovations in this field would be making it better and faster in future.
