Technology

The Internet is now widely used by many people all over the world. It is safe to say that it has led to faster global development than any new invention has ever done. Regardless of age and gender, people use the Internet for personal and professional reasons. They may explore websites to gather information to make their jobs easier and also use the Internet for finding information on topics such as healthcare, medicine and religion.

People use the Internet to communicate; it can be done through emails, Facebook, Skype, Viber and more instead of mailing a letter that might take days or weeks for the person to receive it. When you compare the situation right now and before, it's much easier, faster, and cheaper now. Before we had the Internet, when you called by telephone locally or abroad, it was very expensive.

Also, entertainment can be done through the Internet by streaming movies, videos and games. It has become part of our daily life and we never even notice that almost all activities we do are made possible by the Internet. Thus, I would say that the Internet is indeed a part of human evolution. It would be an understatement to see its impact as essential. It is ever growing and changing exponentially. This impact is felt from the biggest sector of businesses to the smallest unit in our society - family. Take dating sites, for example, people get a lot of chances to meet and date new people through these dating sites. Of course, it could expand opportunities of having a family to different nationalities. I myself am married to a Canadian through a dating website and I could say that the impact of it is really significant and a turning point in my life.

Additionally, banking can be done online; by paying bills, transferring funds and using e-transfer without ever having to go to the bank. Also, online shopping is very popular now as you can order groceries, furniture, clothing, electronics and just about anything else you need for home or work. You can also order a vehicle such as a car or truck online and have it delivered directly to your home. Everything is very different from before the Internet and because of it you can now save more time, money and do everything faster and easier with the help of the Internet.

Online schooling is also more popular now than ever. It was recently in order to keep students safe from the COVID-19 virus. However, there are many other types of learning online such as adult education and lifelong learning. This includes the ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. It is important for an individual's competitiveness and employability but also enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development.

Internet is being used a lot more since the COVID-19 has come into our lives, many people are now working from home as employers are trying to keep a safe environment. The Internet has changed global development and greatly improved the economy
