...articles and books. Carr blames the Internet for retraining his brain and states that, “Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory” (1). There could be many reasons for the change that Carr has noticed. Perhaps his age is changing the way his brain processes information. I doubt that the Internet is the cause of his concentration issues. Contrary to Carr’s opinion of the Internet creating concentration difficulties, I believe the Internet works as a tool to enable us to use our time more wisely, efficiently, and productively. I can now use my time more wisely, because the days wasted on trips to the library have become a thing of the past. Nowadays, the library comes to me. I find this to be a better use of my time and allows me time to pursue more enjoyable activities. Even Carr agrees that research has become easier, through the use of the Internet, when he states, “The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes. A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks, and I’ve got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after” (2). This proves to me that Carr sees the benefits that the Internet provides, by allowing him to use his time in a better, more efficient way. This makes me wonder if the article would be better titled as, “Is Google Making...

Most of the people in town are benefits with these technology but in contrast, the rural areas are still unable to benefit from this technology. This is due to the deficiency of resources and knowledge about it. There are lacks of server and cable network to build in the urban area as this may cost a lot of money to develop. The broadband also unstable in network services to those in urban area and people at there may suffer the slow speed internet connection when they surf the internet. In the new era with technology, it should not discriminate between town or rural area to own a better living life. The technology of internet services should continue developing in urban area so that the all people can enjoy share the information technology knowledge. First of all, to tackle the problem of internet services, a product likes long range wifi router can be built in the rural area to provide the internet services. The long range wifi router should has a solar energy feature so that it can save the power supply. It also includes a backup power function during the cloudy or raining days. This technology can save the direct power usage by using solar energy. After the wifi router is success build up, the signal is passed to the satellite and finally the satellite will respond the internet access information...

...Life Before and After the Internet 3/6/2010 COMPOSITION I-136 Bianca Myles THESIS This paper contains how life without the internet used to be as opposed to how life is now that the internet is available for everything.

...Anton Samuilau Writing 1200-A 01/07/2008 Internet Internet entered our lives only a couple decades ago; however, its popularity and influence has been growing at an astonishing rate ever since. In many ways Internet has redefined communication and become “an essential medium at personal, business, and professional levels” (Farilli 237). Email and instant messaging help communicate people who are thousand miles away from each other; videoconferencing enables business contacts without the necessity of physical presence; chat rooms bring together people and make acquaintances which could never otherwise emerge in real world. These are just few examples of how Internet reshaped our everyday lives and as a new means of interaction. However, it cannot also be denied that computer-mediated communication, which is a basis of Internet contacts, goes much further bringing traditional understanding of “self” and community to the new levels. For many people today Internet represents a tool in negotiating their problems by developing their own personas online as well as bringing people together in the communal sense. One of the main Web trends that have a profound impact on personal expression and, therefore, identity quest is blogging. John Dvorak studied the phenomena of online diaries and stressed several reasons that made them so popular. Among those reasons are: a) ego gratification through belief that what one is writing maybe important to others; b) antidepersonalization...

...reality, I have been born and raised in an era where technology is viewed more as a machine and not as the thriving life source of our community as it is now. Today we have digital technology everywhere; in our pockets, in our homes, in our cars, for some - even in their glasses. We are never too far from our technology or the access to social media it possesses. Social media is taking over our world. Now is this a good or bad thing? My answer to that is it always has been and always will be – there is no wrong or right. Meaning that technology and media in itself has always been progressing and digital media is just another step. Today’s media is in an ever progressing state, and it will continue to grow; such is the nature of media and social relations in themselves. Technology today has given us the ability to interact with one another much differently than we have in the past, it also has reached new heights in our ability to share and distribute knowledge, but one of the biggest problems is that of the generation gap between the technologically savvy and the technologically dim. Media is an ever-changing presence in our world today. It tends to get argued that it is all consuming and distracting, but in reality we as a society choose how to use technology and we decide what technology will do for us not the other way around. Some people believe that the internet is too distracting and takes away from our day-to-day lives. Rick Csiernik, from...

...Human life used to be simple and natural but technology has become an essential part of our live in this day and age. Technology gives people a bigger, better and brighter future because it makes tasks easier, quicker and more efficient. With technological machines people are getting help in different sectors, such as transportation, information searching and communication.

In the past, Japanese used horses to draw a cart to transport people on land. However, railways are all over Japan now and they connect towns along the coast or in the mountains and big cities. Technology has successfully reduced distance between cities and countries. Secondly, computers and the Internet are providing information in the simplest way. Without going to book shops, libraries or wasting time to check dictionaries and to ask somebody, any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The searching engines like Google, Yahoo are at people’s service on the Internet. They are ready for giving people professional help in any time and any place.

...the greatest inventions of man for all time is the computer. Many of us cannot deny that they are relying or depends on computer.

...Why is the Internet so addicting? Two reasons: information and freedom. People go online to get information (music, news, stock prices, etc). Logging onto the Internet is like a kid going to a toy store; there is so much to do and explore that once you get in, you never want to leave. People also go online because the Internet offers freedom to do whatever they want, to say whatever they want and to be whoever they want. This could have a negative effect since people will act in certain ways and say certain things that they otherwise wouldn't do in real life. Furthermore, because the Internet offers so much freedom, you can find your ideal self much easier, but it's not the same as your social self. The difference is due to you talking to a computer screen and you talking to a real person. Thus, the experiences we encounter on the Internet are not the same as the ones we encounter in real life. Even though our overt use of the Internet can cause a conflict between your virtual self and your social self, many still excessively rely on the Internet for their activities. As a result of information and freedom, the Internet has become an unbreakable addiction for individuals and society. Computers are as common as televisions in households; in addition, laptops and Internet-ready cell phones enable the Internet to travel with us. "By 2000 it was estimated that the number of adults using the Internet exceeded 100 million in the United States alone" (The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth...

...How Social Networking is Changing Lives for the Better Ever wonder what makes social networking helpful in the lives of others and what the real logic behind everyone using it is? Social networking is more than what it seems to be, it is a way of interacting with others to talk about interests or simply connect with people. Opponents argue that social media can be troublesome, and is causing cyberbullying within the internet since bullies believe they have authority over others and can do whatever they desire, even if they do not see the pained expression on the victims face in person. On the other hand, parents can control the problem by limiting texting apps to a minimum that could potentially become a harm to one's life. With the use of...
