The Internet
The internet is an amazing invention. It has opened a new door for everyone. No one can ever say he can live without the internet; well you could, but your life won't be that easy. The internet provides lots of services to all of its users around the globe, and one of them is the World Wide Web.
In the early 1970s, the British scientist Donald Davies was the guy who made the first network of networks. The concept of the world wide web of fully interconnected IP (Internet Protocol) networks called the internet was first introduced in 1982.
In 1986, the network access was expanded to education organizations where they were able to use the internet with a speed of 56kbits per second; it was faster with time. Commercials began to show on the internet in the early 1990s. The internet also began expanding to Europe and Australia in the mid-1980s, but to Asia in the early 1990s. The near instant communication by email was begun in the mid-1990s; the internet made a big impact on culture at that time. Forums, blogs, and online shopping began at that time too.
Our ways in using the internet have changed, and there is a difference between our internet and the 1990s internet. It gives us an even better and easier world to live in, allowing us to do our work in an efficient way. The Internet can be accessed nowadays by laptops, telephones, handheld game consoles wirelessly; checking your email or surfing the internet can be accessed easily by these small devices. The internet is still used for education purposes too, for all levels from pre-school to post-doctoral from websites. Sharing ideas and doing work with groups has become even easier; they can cheaply communicate with each other using either instant messaging or from a social networking website. Email can also be used like these two things too. This enables the group of those people to share their work together easily and exchange their projects, and even send a video or share a recorded message between each other. The internet isn’t just used by students or people doing a project only, it's enabled to the whole world; even kids can use it. It can be used for entertainment, which is the most thing that teenagers do with the internet. These entertainment websites include video streaming sites and gaming sites. They provide fun materials when you have a free time, or maybe because you're a procrastinating person. Time management is important too; wasting your time on just the internet for fun is bad, especially if you're a college student.
There are bad uses of the internet along with leaving behind your work or project by simply procrastinating and spending most of the time facing the computer screen playing games, or talking with a friend with a telephone messenger. This kind of behavior is done by the internet; it didn’t just make some of us a procrastinator, but also a lonely person in other ways. Though the internet has enabled entirely new forms of social interaction-such as Facebook or twitter- most of their (addicted) users would talk to their friends and socialize by only sitting in the chair and using their computers to talk to each other making them close by technology, but far in the real world.
There is also a very common bad use of the internet, which is the websites that include sexual content. These sites should never exist in the internet, because they are bad sites. We are not just talking about what would happen if a child entered this site, we are talking about everyone. That's why this kind of websites is under the censorship in our country, the United Arab Emirates.
