The internet is neat because of all the convienant ways you can use to contact people. Sites such as Yahoo, aol, facebook, I want that e.t.c have made it so easy to communicate to people that it truly is amazing. Contacting with people in different cities, states, or countries feels good, especially when you don't have to pay at all. Before the internet was around I'm sure that it was far more difficult to contact people and also it most likely required money (depending on where the person you where trying to reach was at, I would think that in some cases the farther the person was the more money you had to pay).
Inventions such as the calculator or Microsoft word are also great aspects towards the beneficial sides of technology. The fact that those types of tools can fix any problem within a second is very nice. I feel very happy to live in an era where inventions can save so much time and stress with solving a certain problem. To be honest if we didn't have the calculator or Microsoft word than I think that we may be less educated with our spelling and also more stressed out when we try to solve a math problem (can you imagine all the hours it took to write down some calculus problem back when they didn't have any? I'm sure just the thought is a headache).
There are good things towards technology and I think that without some of it than our society would be less capable to be sophisticated with how we handle certain obstacles. Technology is something that we should use to progress are ourselves into the future, but I wouldn't rely on it for entertainment, because in the end there are so many more things that can enrich you in multiple ways.
The internet and technology are making life easier. Some call using technology all the time being lazy, some call it being productive. Regardless of what side of the argument you are on, it is undeniable that these tools are helping us become more efficient. We live in a fast paced world now so it inevitable that we need to use these devises to keep up with everyone else. The skeptics will learn to adopt these changes if they have not already. And they should soon realize that the despite the losses the advantages are far superior.
