The Top 5 Reasons You Cannot Live Without The Internet
Was reading a funny article this morning and the writer was going on about how the internet isn't needed and that we could pretty much live without it completely. All the while I was thinking to myself-- wow, this guy really must not understand the economy. So I have decided to go and make a list of 5 reasons why you could not live without the internet.
#5) Communications
Communications have become a very validated point to as why we need the internet over the past few years. I am sure you are all familiar with Windows Live Messenger and you probably have a favorite forum board, but the system of communications goes much deeper. There is many different forms of communications that many of us do not realize we use everyday, too many to list. Social networks like digg or myspace all have their basic needs as well, in fact many of you probably got here through a social network.
#4) News
Many of us love the news and the news is a great need of ours. On the internet you can get updates within minutes of something happening, and without it some of us would be left clueless. For instance, I have satellite through DirecTv and our weather channel is through Atlanta. Problem, I live in Chanute, Ks and when there is a bad storm where do I go? To the internet of course.
3#) The Internet Is An Infection
A couple times a year I go on various camping trips, and it is hell when your laying in a tent at night just craving some of that internet juice. I have gone camping with my parents and my friends parents, neither of which allow any technology other than a little Tv with no satellite. It is the longest and most agonizing thing ever, and I am not as addicted as most. The internet is an infection and you have to scratch it, if you do not scratch it the itch will get worse. If you do not believe me you can try it yourself.
#2) Resources
Think about everything you get from the internet, now imagine that it's gone. I bet most of you lost a game system, computer, and some clothing. The internet not only supplies us with goods though, it allows us to access information from hundreds of years ago that would normally take hours to find at a library. Where would our schools be without it, some schools have online classes, and local schools have state tests over the internet.
#1) Economy/Shopping
Chances are that if you have the internet then you have probably boughten something. The other world that is the internet is selling billions of dollars in stuff every year. For some of you, your entire day completely centers around the internet because you have an online business. Where would millions of people be without their online businesses that completely feed them every year.
So you see, we have at least 5 good reasons why we cannot live without the internet. Feel free to comment.
