Need of Internet

As I’m sitting to write this post, I realize that I’m using the greatest gift of modern science: The Internet.

Tim Berners-Lee, the man who gave birth to global internet or “World Wide Web”, 27 years ago, and studies reveal that today more than half of the world’s population uses the internet.

This realization got my brain cells ticking and I started to wonder what are billions of people like me are doing on the internet each day? There are many good reasons why we all need Internet.

Build relationships:

We often rush through our day-to-day communication, especially with our loved ones. We talk to our parents, our siblings, our close relatives regularly on phone, if they’re away. But how often do we really take out time to talk about how they’re really doing, or appreciate them for something they have done, achieved or bought? Online communication gives us a second chance. It allows us to ask questions we may have forgotten to ask with the help of emails or messages.

Work anytime, anywhere:

Internet has liberated our lives. We can work while eating, sleeping, drinking or traveling. The Internet has helped build a hyper-connected world. We can talk to people and work with people at all times of day and night regardless of where we are.

.Stay away from bank lines:

I must admit, this one is my favorite feature so far. Millions like me pay a majority of our bills online, send money and receive money simply at the click of a button. Gone are the days of standing in long queues at the bank or waiting for weeks for one check to be cleared. Banking through the internet has become a common and popular phenomenon.
