Internet: a breakthrough of this era.

Have you asked how would be our world without Internet? Maybe if you talk with an old person he/she would probably say you that 40 years ago nobody needed Internet to develop their lives, and they probably don’t understand why people say now “I can’t live without internet”.

In my opinion, I understand the thoughts of the last generation when they say that, and there is only one reason: they didn’t grow up with the computers and the internet like we did. Definitely, I’m a person who can’t live without Internet, that’s why I consider this tool the most important breakthrough in this era. My family is so far away right now, that I would not know of them like I do without Internet. I’m studying here and all of them are in Peru, 10 miles far away, but the internet makes me feel like they are close to me. It’s amazing how I can read about what is happening in my country while I’m living here without the need of a newspaper, magazine or a TV channel from Peru. I only need a computer and Internet, that’s it.

On the other hand, it’s also incredible, how internet makes our lives much easier. You can buy or sell whatever you want from internet. If you want to know how to get some place in a particular city, in the internet you can find the maps and the shortest way to get it. If you want to talk with your friends from other countries you can chat with them without spending a lot of money calling them by phone. Even in business, internet allows the companies to be in constant contact with their costumers and suppliers by email or trough a web page. Really, it is incredible how the internet have change our type of life.
