the phenomenon of the Internet

The Internet gives us great opportunities. It allows us to quickly communicate with people who might be on another street, in another city or country, using instant messaging such as ICQ or Skype. It allows us to save on our phone bills in cases when we need to communicate with a person who is far away. We no longer have to write letters, which come after a few days. Now, having an account with any e-mail address, allows us to send messages that will be forwarded to the receiver within a few minutes. We can also visit various social networking sites such as Facebook and meet new friends or find old friends from the past. The messages can now reach us no matter where we are.

Internet is also a great source of knowledge. Thanks to it, we can find various manuals, instructions and rules that we would have to look for in many different books. Instead of buying films and music, we can just play the track or video from an appropriate web page. We can also download them, which is a lot cheaper than buying them. This however, does not discourage shopping. There is a number of online stores, in which we can not only buy new or used items, but we can also sell things we do not need and may want to get rid of.

There are web pages which allow us to watch sports games live, so we do not have to buy tickets to the game or pay for access to them. In order to pay the bills, it is not necessary to go to the bank. Simply having a bank account with internet access to it, we can pay the bills without leaving home. The Internet gives us the opportunity to create our own web pages that can be modified according to our taste, add content that we are interested in or create web sites, for example: as an advertisement for our own company.

We can also use the network to publish our own work or read someone else’s. It also allows us to download the work, so that we can read it or listen to it in places where there is no access to the internet. We may also use the Internet to upload all sorts of files to store them so that we can save the space on our computer disc, or make them available for download for other Internet users.

People who like to play games will definitely find the Internet useful. There are online games that do not require installation, so we can play a game until we get bored. If needed, we can also download a free game that we enjoy.
