I have used internet to do a lot of things. Most of my higher education was acquired through internet. If there was no internet, life would be very different from what it is now.
Internet opened new ways of seeing the world and also has helped me share my thoughts to the world especially in social medial like facebook and twitter.
If there was no internet, probably it would have taken me ages to complete 4 years degree working in remote areas where it was very difficult to attend classes after work. In my university, there was flexible learning schedule which they calls assynchronized where you study materials online at your own time and pace. The lessons are accessed through network and no need to hurry up to catch bus so as to make it to town before 6:00am where evening classes began.
Through internet, we are able to learn and acquire knowledge in few hours which in early days could take months of attending classroom.
It is through internet i have learnt how to get jobs and have earned through remote jobs. By use of internet, i lost interest with limiting employment and i no longer need need to tarmac from one town to another and from office to office to look for jobs.
Through internet, i can get world news easily and know what is happening across the globe. I no longer need to rely on the tightly controlled media houses that will broadcast what the local authorities need to be heard.
I have traded through internet and i don’t need capital to have a front store or office to get clients and do business. I can easily check international conversion of current over the internet without going to banks to enquire.
Thought the internet has soo many benefits, it has it’s equal share of problems like internet fraud, automations that costs our jobs, hackers that steals our information, skimmers that targets our credit cards and artificial intelligence that is threatening any further creativity and online jobs.
All in all, my life after college was totally directed from it’s original course by discovery of internet.
My discovery of internet influenced me change my career when i discovered computer science through internet. I think it was wise of me leaving my old occupation which was limiting. Thanks to the internet that helped me to explore the world.
