The other side of the internet

I am constantly reminded that everything around me is technology. The internet, for example, is something very important and useful. Nowadays, I can’t live without it, because I need it in my place of work.
In the other day, internet went down. I was doing a project and I needed the internet to do it. That project was to be delivered in the next day and without internet I couldn’t finish it. So I had to go out and meet me with one friend of mine that gave me a book with all information I needed and some help too. The advantage of all of this was the fact that I met with my friend and got out of my office.
I give you one advice: The internet is a great invention but our life isn’t just that. Go out and have some fun instead of staying in front of your pc.

The importance of the Internet in people's lives

The world suffers constant transformations at all levels: technological, educational, social, economic and political. Each new generation, causes different ways of relating and living in society, which is altered and indeed this year, lives up a generation with access to vast information than past generations did not.
In fact, this generation has been marked by the revolution of a different means of communication which is capable to provide any information at any time, and allow treatment of certain issues: the internet. By the end of the century, perhaps the internet will be present in everyday’s life for all people, taking a place of leisure, commerce and services, education, research, communication, entertainment and, as I mentioned before, the information itself.
This new tool of communication exists to allow the interaction with other people from different cultures, enabling everybody to share opinions and suggestions by using the e-mail, forums and social networks.
Nowadays, you can communicate with people who are in another part of the planet through the use of Messenger, social networking, email, internet phone (like Skype). Thus, people can use these tools to disclose their business, advertisements and articles or other matters they consider relevant.
The Internet helps a lot to learn, allowing development of critical thinking of people. Discussion forums are a valuable resource where you can exchange views, ideas and experiences. Regarding social networks, they are providing friendships among people from different parts of the world, which can communicate, express and share their knowledge and ideas with other individuals. In addition, the e-mail has become one of the most important tools on the Internet, as allowed to provide learning resources, with speed in sending and receiving messages. Thus came largely replace traditional mail, which is a major breakthrough for the environment, as much paper is spared, and thus avoids the intensive deforestation.
In conclusion, the Internet enabled the exchange of different views and realities, and helped people to get answers to your everyday’s problems.

GLOBALIZATION



"It is the set of transformations in global economic and political order what has been happening for decades. The point of change is the integration of markets in a "global-village", operated by large international corporations. States gradually abandoning tariff barriers to protect their production from competition from foreign goods and open up to trade and international capital.
This process has been accompanied by an intense revolution in information technology - phones, computers and television. Information sources are also due to standardize worldwide and the growing popularity of pay-TV channels and of the Internet. This makes the consequences of globalization beyond the bounds of the economy and begin to cause a certain cultural homogeneity among countries. "

Health benefits of exercise

Regular exercises can help to protect us from many diseases, can improve our mood and help us to better manage stress.
Experts recommend that we do twenty or thirty minutes of aerobic activity, three or more times a week. However, if we are unable to do this level of activity, we can gain substantial health benefits by accumulating thirty minutes or more moderate-intensity physical activity a day, at least five times a week.
If we have been inactivity for a while, may we want to start with less strenuous activities as walking or swimming. Beginning at a slow pace will allow us to become physically fit without straining our body. Once we are in better shape we can gradually make strenuous activity.

Technological evolution

Technological evolution has become one of the biggest keys to the global communications, we can communicate all over the world. I have my godfather living in France and he doesn’t come to Portugal very often so we talk almost every week by the social network MSN, but his job moved away to other place and now he doesn’t have much time to spend on the internet so he writes me e-mails.
I use a lot of programs on the internet because I need to search music and music lyrics, to search music I use the www.youtube.com site and then I copy the URL to the program aTube Catcher to transform a video WMV to MP3 audio, then I need the music lyric, so I search at the site www.vagalume.com, usually I get what I need.
Once I bought a DVD player and it didn’t play all DVD’s that I put in it, so I went to the store and I asked them what was going on, they kept the DVD player and three months later I went to the store again, they didn’t call me to say if the DVD player was fixed already, I told them that I didn’t want that DVD player anymore and that I wanted to change to another one. They said yes, I changed it to a new one, until now it is working alright, I hope it doesn’t give me more problems.

The internet have access to information on any subject, which is very good, since that allows us to access a wide range of material witthout having to move in to find them. The extensive list of services currently found online, is growing increasingly.
Users can perform various types of banking transactions over the network as purchases, payments, banking, etc.
They can also communicate by email with family friends.
Most people I know and work with the internet, have generally positive experiences, but be careful since the World of internet we have all sorts of people since the decent ace least decent.
Curious and looking forward to this new world and the possibilities of relationship provided by him, are children and young people increasingly using the internet, so that parents should supervise as they may be subject to crime and exploitation.
