Marjan Kiany: The Internet


The Internet is a virtual world which connects people to the real world. Some people believe that it is a curse. By considering its help, it seems to be a blessing, and we are lucky to live in a High-tech century. All information and activities we are required can be achieved by the Internet. In general, the Internet is known as a useful and helpful invention which can connect us to global village data and connect us to people.

The Internet lets us access all information we need. It gives us useful information from all over the world. Students can study or research on the Internet. It makes education process easier. Several years ago, when people wanted to study or read a book, they would have to go to the libraries or bookstores to find the book which they were needed. Also, if we needed information for individual purposes, or about any other subjects, we would have to go to the related place where they had information about that subject. In addition, we have quick access to global data. By googling and writing two or three words of the subject, The Internet will connect us to the sources of that. Moreover, there is no need to leave the house or work place to buy something or receive some information. Just by clicking of the mouse, every thing will be done.

On the other hand, we can keep in touch with people. We have some relationship with our relatives who are important to us. Many years ago, people used to send hand written letters to each other. It took time to receive them, or sometimes, they were being delivered to wrong addresses. Nowadays, we can send an electronic letter (E-mail) in a few seconds, while there is no need to stamp it. Also, we noticed that whether the letter was delivered to the exact address or not by a massage. Even, we can have discussions with our relatives in chat rooms and see each other at the same time. In our business relationships, we use the Internet as well. We can trade data, services or goods by the Internet. The customers satisfy their needs online and receive quotes for the appropriate prices. Moreover, some people do their businesses online. They advertise on some websites and offer their services, so a person or a company who required these services make a contract with them, confirm it and do their trade by the Internet.

Everyone looks forward to saving their time and energy. People use the Internet to have access information in a short time, or to have relationship with family and trade marketing. In the current century, we can see how many advanced technologies surround us. This high-tech may become a usual technology after while since humans always try to invent new things. We might witness humans cloning other humans who can walk, eat, talk or think.
