Internet

Hello, my name is João Morgado,  I live and work in Torres Vedras and this is the first time that I take part in a Blog even though I use the internet in a daily basis.

 

I intend to reflect about the impact of internet in my life. Currently it is part of  our lives, like tv or mobile phones. In our society we got used to integrate the new tecnologies in our daily activities, whether  with professional ou leasure  goals. It gives us the possibility to increase our knowledge on a determinate subject, accessing  information within seconds, contacting people troughout the world with just a click... and so on, the possibilities are endless. People got used to depend on the benefits of this rapid way of accessing information or advertisement and sharing information.

In my personal experience, it started with the need to receive and send emails to friends away , or talk to them in chats online, or download movies and music, later on, the need to reseach for cientific articles for my degree. In the present, I need to use it everyday to keep in contact with the partnerships at work, it allows me to pay the  suppliers, personal payments, send files or documents and other activites that make the work much more productive.

 

This is the way I live with internet, and I fell that it helps me very much, but it also has inconveniences when used without supervion or limits, like with children or people who find in the internet the only way to communicate with others. Not all the sites are well intended, we need to be careful.

 

Appreciate your atention,

The internet

The internet is a worl of information. Through the internet we can research topics of interest, talk with someone (through e-mail, Facebook, MSN, etc), and have access to various services (net bank, etc). With the internet everything is easier and faster! This is great advantage.

However, it also has disadvantages. Everyone can say what they want over the internet. When we research we must have attention to what is written and have a critical spirit. on the other hand, we also find in the internet a set of content that can encourage violence, crime or xenophobic attitudes. Internet may also contribute to the persons isolation.

Hello my name is Rui Amaro, I am 30 years old and I live in Campelos and it is a pleasure to participate in the Blog.

I think the Internet changed our life in a positive way. Even if you want to have very specific information, you will find it in a short time and for me Internet is a very important way to communicate. I can imagine live without it. Personally I go to the Internet to do research, send e-mails, and make free call. I communicate with friends and family far away, especially with Skype. I think the Internet is the best way to communicate. Especially the social network is becoming more and more important for nearly everybody.

Another advantage of the internet is that you can join a community.

You can create new social contacts all over the world with MSN, email, social networks like Facebook, among others, which enabled a revolution in the way we communicate with others.
