As seen from today, the most important thing that changed or developed the world is the internet, and it is the greatest innovation of human beings. Even though the internet invented just few decades ago, it becomes part of the human life today. Without the internet, the human life seems impossible or insufficient. The internet has thousands of advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. It allows individuals to communicate each other more easy and fast. For example, people send e-mail across the world just for a second; they can chat and see each other through the Skype or any other messenger regardless of the distance. Also, it allows people to increase their knowledge because they can find any types of information from the internet. Therefore, people can study in the U.S University even though they are living in other country. Nowadays, lots of universities offer online study for the international student. In addition, the internet allows people to save time. For example, people do not have to go department store or mall to buy something; they can buy that from online shops. They do not have to go banks to make some payments or exchanges; they…
The Where I’m from poem was a great piece of writing because it showed us where everyone was from and what it was like in their family it was kind of funny to see some traditions and everyone be grossed out or everyone just laugh at it but they knew what they meant by it and accepted it. This writing was also one of my best pieces of work this year and I was happy.…
Technology seems to be making a huge impact on our lives every day. The internet has everything you need to know and more. There’s search engines that can help you do your shopping, there’s games, there’s chat rooms and also recourses to help yourself out in schooling needs. However I do see how it has been taking over our world. In the story “Y2K CHATRM43” Adrein talks about how Joel spends way to much time on the computer and thinks it’s useless, however Joel sees it differently. In this story I agree with Joel, there’s so much to do on the Internet, it can be very helpful for social needs and for schooling needs. Chat groups can be used to help you out in school. Having that can help you out with understanding school work and what not. The internet is also helpful with school because teachers can put the assignments online so we can access them. Online books help out a lot also instead of having to carry that huge text book home you’ve got it all right there in front of you online. Another reason I feel as if the internet is very useful is because there’s videos online that explain school work and certain subjects. If your teacher doesn’t explain the assignment good enough for you, theres online videos that can help you get a better understanding. They say in the future all schooling will be online, all kids will have their own computers to do their work and there won’t be teacher lectures anymore! What will the future bring?…
The Alchemist: Coelho fights, and wins, the battle of effective reader engagement within the textual arena alone In Paulo Coelho’s work, The Alchemist, a young boy learns to listen to his heart and trust the world around him in pursuit of living out his dreams. Originally written in Portuguese, an in-depth study of the textual arena reveals Coelho’s engagement of the reader, in both the original language and translations, function as a fail-safe. Whether or not a certain reader finds the book’s concepts agreeable, the simplicity and coherence of the textual arena and choices in language, like the use of the colloquial, cause him or her to find inspiration and thought provocation within its pages. The main concept throughout The Alchemist is found in the form of sage advice to the shepherd boy: “The Soul of the World is nourished by people’s…
Technology is often used to find out information. It is a faster, quicker and easier way to get answers from Websites. Mohsenzadega refers to this (448), “….with just the click of a button on our handy-dandy little gadgets.” Everything is there, with no need to struggle or go out to get things done. Some people do not need the doctor for check-ups. They can get the information from Medline.com which allows people to self-diagnose (448). Computers help us stay up to date with everything, whether it is the weather, or a family member that lives far. It is cheaper to communicate now over Facebook, Twitter, Facetime or Oovoo because it’s free, instead of buying a phone card every time they need to keep in contact with a relative. It has also brought people together from all over the world. They meet new people find out about them and most of the time fall in love and end up together. The internet is very useful and good. Some people feel better behind screens and are able to express themselves better and open up more to people, when they are not face to face. People get to know them better on the internet and get a lot of information from there. Just the simple fact of entertainment, of having memories with…

Either at home or at work, ethical issues will always arise; issues between family and friends, employers and employees. But when you bring your work home, standards and principles, honesty and integrity may be questioned and are likely to cause feuds between relationships. After viewing a short, independent film named Lawyers, where a man and woman in a relationship, both lawyers, discuss ethics involving each other’s court cases, a heated argument erupts, causing the man to make a worthy and wise decision. In the following, I will describe how ethical issues can be used to address organizational issues, why the issues in the film are important, how these issues might be relevant to organizational and personal issues, and the relationship between legal and ethical issues as portrayed in the film.…
There are many good things on the internet but there are also as many bad. Search engines, such as Google and Bing, are often used to find information from sites like CNN. However, search engines are prone to many distractors such as video games or viral videos. The internet isn’t a bad place for learning, but if the internet is not used properly it can prevent someone from learning what they need to. The internet is home to many things that can cause the mind to move away from learning and instead cause a loss of innocence and cause people to stay in isolated areas for long periods of time such as an office or bedroom.…

Many people say that the Internet is the most important invention ever, and I definitely believe that it is true. Since the first artificial satellite, the Sputnik, was launched to the space, the world has never been the same. Nowadays computer is so affordable that in every home you can find one. What is more, the Internet connects people all around the world. Computers didn’t exist a century ago and many people might have had happy lives without them. Life would stop without computers. You wouldn’t even stop to think about how many common products are operated by computers. Our cars, microwave ovens, wristwatches and thousands of other gadgets. Appearing on the internet you can search “WWW”-means World Wide Web-for information when you need to. There are millions of websites storing an endless amount of data. You can find many dozens of information about everything on the internet. E.g. history, animals, plants, nature, music, famous people etc. There is countless number of services available on the net. What is more you can download music, films, listen to foreign radio stations, play games, read and subscribe newspapers and magazines and you can even purchase or sell various products , order food,. In addition you can transfer money through the Internet, and learn languages on-line on several web pages and practice English because most users speak the language. You can keep in touch with friends or other people from other countries to write them e-mails if you have an e-mail access and it is very fast .The list is endless, and I honestly like to use it because as I have experienced I always get to useful information through the Internet, and gain knowledge about healthy life.…
