The World Wide Web

     The internet is just like any other great breakthrough that we have seen in the past from the utilitilization of electricity to the invention of the wheel. In each case, we have adapted to it in way to better our lives and make life easier. The internet is no different. It has made life simpler or easier to humans in the way we gather and obtain knowledge. With this knowledge, we can then discuss it with others in order to create new breakthroughs and keep the process going. To say that the internet is a distraction, while not totally false, is to deny that it also is one the greatest innovations in communication of all time. People use to have to meet in person or over the phone to discuss topics of interest. And even then there were limits to the distance, time, and sometimes money they had to do so. The internet has changed all of this with it's multiple websites that promote interaction such as Facebook, Skype, Myspace, and so on. Millions of people use these websites to keep in touch with one another from various parts of the world. The internet has created many oppurtunities for people to interact so that people may discuss the next BIG idea that might even be better than the internet. Who knows what the internet could create with its vast array of available knowledge and freedom of communication.
