As members of the Global Village we call earth, we can all agree the internet has connected us in ways no one could have imagined.
It’s hard to find a teenager who isn’t dependent on the internet for something or the other. The internet provides us with a platform where everything is possible. It allows us to share our passion, meet our needs, and learn about the world. The internet has become a source for us to express ourselves and reach others who understand us. There are so many places on the internet where we can find an outlet to be ourselves without the fear of judgment.
There are numerous sources that allow us to connect with people around the world and bridge the gap the oceans form between us. The millennial world is a filled with people who live fast paced lives and the only thing that can keep up with our ever-changing schedule is the internet. People from all around the world move away from home for the sake of their career and the internet ensures that they do not lose contact with their family. Personally, the internet has played a huge role in connecting me with my friends from different countries. My best friend lives so far away from me and yet because of the amenities the internet provides, I can keep in touch with her.
Communication isn’t the only thing that internet has improved. Education is something that has immensely improved since the genesis of the internet. The Internet has always been the source I turn to when I need help with my studies. There are numerous websites where experts take time out of their busy schedule to help students like me. One of my favorite online study programs is EdX. The challenge that the courses at EdX provides us with is something that has immensely helped me improve my scholastic performance. In India, there is a website called Meritnation that helps tutor students. These sources help us, as students, improve our skills and provides the right kind of help.
The connection that the internet has formed between people from around the world through websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. has brought so many cultures together as one. These websites allow us to understand things from someone else’s perspective and see things through their mind’s eye. The platform these websites provide their users not only connect them with others around the world but also help them discover themselves. I found my calling through a website called fan-fiction.net where I first found the courage to write. It is because of sources like these people gain the confidence to follow their dream. It is because of the internet that I had the courage to post the novel I wrote on my website.
The internet brings us closer and helps us understand who we are. It not only helps us develop our self-identity but also shows us the value of unity. It helps us understand people from across the world and helps us see what makes them who they are. You can see the world through your computer screen and gain something irreplaceable, an insight into the lives of those thousands of miles from you. The internet is a wonderful gift that makes everything easier. Features like e-mails, e-shopping, e-banking bring the world into the palm of our hands.
The internet is like a spider web that holds our entire world together. So, cherish the glue that makes our generation unique and let it bring together different cultures in ways we cannot imagine.
