As time passed by Internet became a fundamental necessity universally.
There are times, the ancient times where there is not much civilisation and people have no language except sign language to communicate. Now we have different languages to communicate and many across the world are even showing interest to learn a language other than their native language and this practice is made easy by the help of internet. It’s the development that introduced people to a whole new world. Come on! Who doesn’t know the importance of mobile and mobile with internet? These days all that matters is you and your search feed. Ironically, enjoying this new world we get to forget the real world around us.
There are times where there were pigeon posts where pigeons would send our messages to the recipient. Later the postal services, it would charge us fee and also time consuming. But now it’s the mailing era we have the E-MAIL the electronic mail it’s of no cost and also received by the recipient within few seconds or minutes.
Internet also helps the elders to meet their kids working far from home town virtually. After letters, telephones, now it’s time for face times. Maybe we can get volumetric displays and holograms used by common people with easy accessibility in future too. Coming back to internet a single click can connect many from different time zones across the world. Seeing and talking to them improves the relationship and also the older generation may feel relieved to see the smiles of the family and new generations of the family as in that age they feel concerned about the family. One call – unlimited talks. SO IT’S DEFINETELY A BEST EVOLUTION.
There are times where grandparents would watch T.V or read books enjoying the nature. But now it’s time to browse online, search for more and more YouTube videos and post on all social networking sites if possible. Ironically it’s the situation of every generation with a rare exception of few. It helps us to navigate and also let us know more about new places as well as the places where we have been living for ages. There are live videos to show the events taking place far in different time zones. Have face time with people whenever needed or even leave a mail or message when necessary.
Internet made us too lazy. Some people addicted to gaming world. Sitting in their place and focussing on the screens all day long communicating with so called friends whose faces are unknown with unique usernames all over the world. Wastes money by spending on gaming related purchases. Although it helps us with our communication skills and let us make new friends online from different countries. But everything has its limits, gaming can be done but; only gaming for whole day could affect your health. Health issues like obesity, eye sight, radiation and many problems that we need to deal with in future.
Internet plays a great role in making strangers of different nationalities your friends on online platforms. It is both good and bad as we don’t know the future outcome. If it leaves a positive impact then it’s good but if it’s negative impact then it affects. It is also letting us lose the real conversations face to face. Even living in adjacent rooms no one walks to the other person, just a phone call or message to talk. Now everyone is focused on the screens with ear pods or air pods. The only difference is the content they search for differs as per generation.
These days there is no privacy. As we can’t ensure if someone is monitoring us. We ourselves made our lives public by posting every single thing we do online on social networking sites. And people get to know at what time we are at which place and what we did. Of course it’s shared as a memory. But not every single thing in our life should be public some moments should be captured and to be kept for ourselves. And those are sweet memories. Some are obsessed with likes and followers but they forget that it’s not reality. Number of followers doesn’t actually decide your true well wishers. The true ones only show up at your hard times to support you. Not the ones who liked or followed you on social networking sites.
The internet made a lot more things easier like the business, education, relationships, and many more. It helped the education by letting children or students to learn through visuals. It helped them by giving much useful content to improve the knowledge about the topic. Also learn different languages, cultures and traditions across the world sitting at home. With internet you can get everything at your doorstep from Online shopping, grocery shopping, dairy needs pay bills online, mobile banking, taxes, home decor, movie tickets, flight tickets, to any transportation booking, everything in seconds from home or anywhere by just few clicks. This also changed some people’s life by not letting them come out of their homes as everything’s available.
There are times when you are down or feel the loneliness, and then you have motivational and inspirational videos to encourage you. There are stories and their solutions for problems faced discussed in videos that are relatable. Music the all time healer of our soul. Different types of music are available by different artists and labels. No longer has a local artist we have international stars music worked with captions to understand their lyrics. So everything made easy.
It also has the accessibilities like learn from big universities abroad sitting at home. Have face time classes with students. Assignments, tests, project works, team works are online. Participate in contests, competitions. Also search engine helps you to deal with your difficulties. Any doubt go Google it .it’s an era where we are unknowingly dependent on artificial intelligence. And calculations immediately open a calculator or ask Google or Siri “how much is the total..?”
HELLO GOOGLE..! HEY SIRI..! are heard everywhere. “HELLO GOOGLE WILL IT RAIN TODAY?” “HEY SIRI CALL MAYA!”.
There are times where birds would wake us up .But now the alarms and even more evolution the AI technology asks if it could set an alarm for you. And it reminds you about your events that you need to attend. It also has the access to prepare the speech that you are going to speak. So there is no creativity or originality. Everything is available on internet. Before we used to think about what gifts we need to present to our sister or friend or any relative. But now it’s open Google and asks “what should i present my sister on her birthday?”
Although internet associates people far away to communicate and entertain us when we feel boredom and inspire us when we are low. It’s more like a less meet and more talk, as if its miles away internet is useful for keeping us together by connecting us, but if its meters distance why can’t you communicate in person if possible.
Don’t stick to home itself there are many more wonders to see. Enjoy the sunrise, sunset, rainfall, autumn, snowfall, have a small walk in the woods, feel the fresh breeze, try to associate with nature.
Even a medicine that cures our diseases has its side effects then why not internet? Internet can lead a person to be successful by its useful content. At same time distract the person and also destroy to an extent that a person can never be able to turn back to their past self. So it totally depends on us how to control ourselves and keep track and avoid its addiction. Try to live in the real world using internet to learn and be successful and don’t let internet take control over you.
