It is pretty mind blowing when you think about it. It can be hard to believe at times that the internet is such a big part of our everyday lives. When you actually consider the technology that goes into it, it makes you appreciate it so much more.

I agree with you. It's hard to believe, but it really is part of our lives. Just the fact that most people will struggle without the connection in just a single day is a big evidence that technology has completely invaded our lives and is already part of our lifestyle.

I can relate. It can also be a bad thing. Our dependence on technology could eventually bring our downfall. A lot of factories have been known to contribute to pollution. Basically, it does some amount of good but with a price.

This is indeed the truth not everything that technology resulted in is helpful. Internet, when used in a bad way, would lead people astray. Teens nowadays rely heavily on the internet and sometimes abused it.

We would go back to an old era or to the times where internet is being made. Imagine if we go back to that time, life would be quite hard and tiresome. Technology helps us make our life easier without it, everything we do or working takes time to finish.

I agree. It's something we take for granted. For those of us born into it, we think it's just part of normal life. But it's only been recently invented in the past few decades. Lots of people lived their lives without even using a computer.

How amazing our technology now! Yes, true! It's sounds interesting how fast internet data is which travels from place to place even if a person lives far from the country. Well, there are more amazing facts we can discover about internet such as there are more than 1.9 billion websites in the internet and some of it are most likely a blogs and businesses sites, a very competitive phase for us especially new comers.

I have always been fascinated by the Internet. I am not so much interested in how it works as in that it does work and hopefully will never stop working AND people around the world will be granted access to this tool that makes the entire planet a world with no borders. Internet for everyone is on my Christmas Wish List, along with World Peace. I honestly believe - idealistically and unrealistically (I know) - that the Internet is a means to achieving world peace.

Internet has pros and cons too, but I lean towards positivity like I can't imagine life without internet, I mean it's just now a part of our life, this era is the most amazing and interesting time to be alive, we have unlimited access to almost all the information in the world and that for me is amazing, like for me everyone can quit school quit their job and live in home together with their loved ones and learn online study online and get a job online because of internet nothing really is impossible, thanks to the one who invented internet.

For sure there are more positives than negatives. I used to worry about my kids going to college and not having transportation to get to and from the campus. But now they can go to school online and never leave the house. What a blessing! They didn't get cheated out getting an education. The Internet brought the college to them.

I agree. Before, we need pens and paper to communicate to our families in another country. We have to email it and wait for days receiving the letter, but now we can talked to them face to face using our smartphones, tablet or laptop. We can connect to them instantly which a huge advantage having an internet.

Somehow I agree with you. Technology amaze us until now. Thru internet we can search anything we want. If we may want to play games, we can download thru internet. If we just want a youtube then we can search videos for entertainment or DIYs. The communication from other people also serves here. We can connect with other people without living the country.

Me as well. Security is the danger of the internet because of the increasing numbers of hacking. Personally, I haven't experienced being hacked and I don't want to experience. But I have friends who were hacked, most of it is there accounts on Facebook. What I am scared about is someone going to use your identity.

It's amazing how our technology has immensely improved now when years ago people were only limited to writing letters to each other and have to wait for weeks to get a reply! Even telephones back then were so expensive that you couldn't stay long enough in a call to enjoy a real conversation. But these days it's all free!

Even when I was a kid in the early 90s that was the case - even calls within our country that were longer than a certain distance away were classed as “long distance calls” and were pretty expensive. Hard to believe that we’ve completely bypassed that these days and we can video chat with people around the globe for free!

I remember that time as well. And the dial up internet, I think it was really expensive at that time. Do you remember using the internet and no one can use the phone at the same time? LOL! What a time that was. That was one of the reasons why I couldn't stay longer than an hour online, it's because no one could use the phone if I was online.

Technology has come a long way. This is an interesting fact to know and have. Its fascinating I wonder how someone thought of this idea. I know that Bill gates is credited with coming up with the first personal computer. Who came up with the internet? I know that the internet started spreading seriously in the 1990's. Most of us were too young then and don't even remember the whole process.Interesting fact.

Yes I was aware of this fact. Many public and the commercial servers is what makes up the internet. And ISPs are playing the important role here for the communication. And their data transfer is what is responsible for us to communication and other things. You can see that internet is changing it may add new ways for the communication. That should give people some idea on the data transfer.

There are different ways to transmit data it could be via optic cables which is laid in the sea floor connecting countries which is pretty amazing really because to lay it down they would need big ships and submarines along with deep sea divers. Data can also be transmitted thru older copper cables and thru Satellites. It's really amazing how people developed the technology to do this.

I'd imagine it would only take a few seconds. Messaging apps like Viber show you when the person has received the text and when the person has read it. Sometimes there's a delay for sure but it only takes a few seconds so I'd imagine it would take a few seconds to send and receive email.

Yes, internet is one of the best invention in human history. It makes one's life easy in terms of communication, research and gathering of information and news. It gives us learning in daily basis. It feels like a huge library with updates. Although, there are also wrong information shared on internet but it has more advantage and useful for us. I salute those people who first started the concept of internet. The developers and programmers who work hard to improve and develop this technology up to this days.
