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,
