The Internet has changed the world we live in dramatically, so that in some ways

The Internet has changed the world we live indramatically, so that in some ways it is unrecognizable from the place we livedin twenty years ago. Communications have been revolutionized. Not only havecell phones found their way into most people’s pockets or purses, but they arealso used for next messaging and as cameras. Long distance phone calls havebeen replaced by e-mail and video conferencing. Communications, person toperson or company to company, have turned into a fast-paced exchange withinstant response. In fact, it has become more convenient and efficient.

         Theother kind of communication the Internet provides is information. Schoolchildren and medical researchers alike will tell you that they could not workwithout the Internet and its ability to connect them to any number of websitesand databases of information. Many people do their banking on-line. Others plana trip and book a flight for themselves. People do their own stock  tradingthrough the Net. Sports fans follow scores and statistics on websites.Political junkies(政治狂)gather campaign statements and debate topics, even between elections. And almosteveryone who owns a computer and has Internet access has bought at least oneitem on-line. No wonder some young people can not imagine what life was likebefore the Internet.
