The Internet
Nowadays almost anyone can think of the world without the Internet. I believe that it had brought many advantages and a new vision of the world and society for everyone. It also has some disadvantages though, but I would like to focus on the bright side because I think the pros overcome widely the cons.
Internet influences deeply our daily lives. The most noticeable effect is the widespread of knowledge around the world. With internet we can communicate with every person no matter where s/he is, we can share not only our lives with social media but also our knowledge in any fields. Internet has helped building more intelligent, ethic people. For instance, we can read directly and within just a few seconds the latest news about robotics in Japan while in Germany. Or have free access to learn new languages and find language exchange friends on sites like Italki or Duolingo, 24/7. Or know the latest researches carried out at the MIT.
It has changed the way we communicate with each other. We can live abroad without worrying to lose contact with our families or friends. Through a simple video call we can see them. Additionally, we can now have friends abroad and widen our work possibilities.
Now we can know what is really happening around the world, having access to unbiased information or at least to several independent medias and contrast news. So it has not only contributed to a better society but also it has given freedom to really express what we think. Some people think of Internet as the last place for freedom in the world. As with the Wikileaks case, many scandals has been made public thanks and through the Internet. It has helped also pursuing terrorist nets, criminals and fraud.
In conclusion, Internet has profoundly changed the way we see the world today in a positive way. Knowledge gives us freedom, and freedom makes more responsible, happy people and helps us break the barriers between cultures, religions and languages.
