Through the pass of the years technology has changed my life in different ways. My first contact with a computer was when I was in elementary school; but it is a wide difference of what is now a computer. I used the computer just to type or to use the “paint” program. The computer-based class was very exciting because it was like free time where we had the opportunity of talking with other classmates and having fun. I used to see the computer as something entertaining and just to play with it. Then I noticed how useful a computer could be; but as everything, the computer and Internet have their advantages and disadvantages.
Internet is a useful way of communication but sometimes it could be not as useful as everybody thinks. On internet we can find whatever we want. It is the easier way at the moment of looking for something. Also you can have communication with people from other countries and to know the different cultures around the world. In the dark side of internet, we have the pornography; children have access to these websites and the parental control sometimes is not enough. Also the internet is tool for kidnapping, the kidnapper use other personality to catch his victims. In addition, internet reduces family time, because kids and teenagers spend their time infront of a computer, they have more time with a computer than they have with their parents.
I could say that I have more time in front of a computer than with people. The way how internet has influenced my life is very important. A computer has become the new notebook for me, it has make it easier, and at least one time in a day I am with a computer. My professors ask for sending the homework by e-mail, and we have blogs and moodles to share the assignments. Also the Internet interferes in my social activities. I can have communication with my friends in the messenger or to share photos and whatever I want in facebook or hi-five. Also I can meet new people in chats or blogs. The internet is part of my life and it is becoming more necessarily for me.
The computer is hundred of things at the same time, so that is why is crucial having a computer and also an internet account. If it is so necessary, what do we could expect for future?. In these days we are facing a new era, internet is a basic instrument for education, communication, bussines and entertainment. Then the computer will be the new television, T.V. is going to be in second place. Instead of saying I’m going to see a the news in the T.V. will be: I´m going to check my facebook. Just like T.V. replaced the radio now the computer is replacing the T.V.
