The Internet World
I have no idea by whom the internet was invented. But I am sure what a great revolution it brings after it came to the world. Just take a look at the real life, and you will find out how deeply it is affecting our daily life.
First of all, it creates a new means to share the information, which is very important in today’s IT (information and technology) World. With the fast changing and developing pace, the traditional ways of getting the information can no longer satisfy us. Faster speed and easier means are greatly demanded. So when the internet was invented and introduced, it is accepted soon and develops at a great speed ever since. Today, you don’t have to waste your valuable time and money to check and buy the sources of materials from newspapers and magazines. Simply go on-line, and the information you want will be available in seconds. What’s more, you can also share the information you have by creating your own webpages and uploading them to the internet or giving your commence on the BBS and so on. By this means, different kinds of webs are weaved and linked together forming a vast and endless ocean, on which people surf and have fun.
Furthermore, the internet is now playing an essential role in the interpersonal connection and communication. Letters, telephone calls, telexes, faxes, etc. are no longer the only ways to communicate. Instead, one can have contact with others by e-mail, net chat, BBS, IRC, MAVEN, CU-SeeMe and so on with the help of the internet. For example, during the period of SARS, students in Beijing had to be sent away from school. As a result, their school education was forced to be cut off. However, a new flavor helped solve the problem. Do you know how? Thanks to the internet, a new system called “Education On-line” was being carried out. With their PCs at home, students cruised around their school websites merely by inputting the IP addresses. Here, sufficient lectures, materials, exercises and homework are available on-line. After listening to the lectures, students could also teach themselves by reading books and materials, taking notes, doing exercises and finishing their assignment that was required to be submitted later on-line. See the benefits the internet offers?
Besides all of these, there are also some other new flavors you can enjoy in the internet world, such as banking, shopping, flash, movies, and music on-line. Take banking and shopping on-line for instances. You must have once experienced how time-consuming it is for one to wait in a long queue in the bank. Nowadays, the choice is alternative. Sitting comfortably in your chair at home or in the office, you can still visit the bank and do the banking on-line. So why do we keep wasting our precious time on all those dull things? Why not let the banking system on the internet do them for you? With a small charge, you can hire an excellent banking assistant to finish all your work in a very short time with the maximum profits. Shopping is gaining more and more popularity in the modern society. And again, the internet can make it more efficient and convenient. Go to the shopping websites, and a long list of products’ items with specific information will be at hand instantly, including a brief introduction and vivid picture of the purchase, its material, price, manufacturer, and how to order it, etc., only to name a few. In this way, you are able to compare a variety of items at one time and choose your favorite one by filling a form and paying a little delivery charge. Soon, your chosen product will be sent to your house.
Such is the internet world, the revolution it brings about since this new flavor came into our life. Try to experience this wonderland. And I believe you will surely enjoy it and get tremendous fun in it.本回答被提问者采纳

The Internet has dramatically altered ourlives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have beennegative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive. What areyour opinions on this?
The Internet has brought significantchanges to our lives in recent years. However, there remains some disagreementas to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative.While there are certainly valid arguments to the contrary, I personally believethat the benefits of the Internet far outweigh its drawbacks and these benefitsare twofold.
First of all, it is an indisputable factthat the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. Despite the riskof social isolation-a problem occasionally seen in people who spend too muchtime at their computer terminal rather than relating to people in the realworld-most of us have benefited greatly from e-mails and Internet chat programslike MSN Messenger. These incredibly useful and powerful tools of communicationfacilitate both contact with loved ones in faraway places and global trade.
Moreover, the Internet has placed theentire world (and all of the information in it) at our fingertips. In earliertimes, conducting research entailed long hours searching library shelves. Now,however, the same information can be accessed at the click of a button.Admittedly, not all of the information available on the Internet is reliable orhelpful-there is a vast amount of material online that some would consideroffensive or dangerous, ranging from pornography to instructions on how to makebombs. Nonetheless, I would contend that this free flow of information hasgenerally been a very positive development.
By way of conclusion, I once againreaffirm my position that the Internet has had a positive impact on modern lifebecause of its influences on communication and the flow of information.
