The Role Internet Plays In My Life

Over the years, the internet has become a very important role in many of our lives. The internet has helped improve people’s lives in many different ways. Some of these are, providing the bridge to long distance communication, a quick and easy form of entertainment, shopping, and also gives us the answers to questions in no time!  The internet is also a great way of staying up-to-date in the latest news, gossip and even your personal life. Lastly, the internet has also become a new way of learning and even teaching.  

Compared to the early days of the internet, we depend on it a whole lot more! Today, we can talk to different people from all over the world using E-mail, instant message, Skype, and lastly, the very new, Google Plus.  We can also instantly stream live television, or watch virtually any movie straight from the internet. We can also buy almost anything from online sites such as, EBay, Kijiji, and Amazon. If we ever have a question that we need an answer to, we can quickly just type it into Google and we will be given hundreds of different websites that may contain the answer.  With the internet, we can easily obtain online newspapers and magazines to keep us informed about the world around us, and also use various different social networks to keep us informed about our personal lives. The internet has even gone as far as online courses for all kinds of students to learn from.

Personally, the internet has played a very important role in my life. Being a high school student, I depend on the internet a lot. The internet often helps me answer any difficult questions I may have, allows me to research topics and ideas that I many not fully understand, It helps me keep in touch with both family and friends, and it is also a great way for me to get away from all the school stress by allowing me to play video games, watch movies or television, and even just listen to music.

The internet has also helped me with many different things. The internet came of a great value when my family was looking for a new house to move into. Looking online, we easily filled in short and simple answers on an online form to help us find exactly what we were looking for in our new house. When the form was complete, the website generated a list of hundreds of different houses that fit our criteria. After we had looked through about six or seven, we came to the perfect house, placed our bid, bought it, and moved in. The internet also helped out when we desperately needed a new car. Looking online was fast, simple and very easy. Using the internet is also a great way you can compare different prices in order to find the best deal out there. Lastly, the internet has become such an easy way of shopping! A few years ago, my family and I travelled to England to visit family. Of course my cousin and I decided to go shopping. When I got to their mall, I found many different clothing stores that weren’t found in Canada. When I got back home, I was very upset that Canada wasn’t as fashion forward as England was, so I went online and “Googled” my favourite shop I found in England. Turns out they had any online store and also shipped world-wide. I was so excited about it that I told my sister, who was kind enough to take my very own money, put it on her credit card, and order me clothes!

The car I wanted, but didn't get... 

     In conclusion, the internet plays a very important role in the majority of the population’s life. Without the internet, our world today would be changed drastically. To me it seems almost un-functional. The internet is a great way to do things quicker and more efficient. It makes our world seem more connected and unified, and closer.
