1. GET INFORMATION IF YOU LEARN HOW TO LOOK FOR IT  You must be irritated of finding any thing you want about recipes, lyrics or anything about computer system. Before internet had been introduced to us, you find all this answers by referring books, newspaper or from library. But now with the help of internet Google search engine can deliver us all kind of information to our PC within a matter of seconds.

"A little knowledge can be dangerous ".
You know very well!!! No more we had to accept whatever they said.

Hi Pamela,
A very good resource with good examples with pictures. This age is an age of technology and internet is ruling the world and some youngsters are hooked to it as never before.It has no doubt made life easier . However, it is making people lazy and uncommunicative.
I feel , people should not depend too much on the net and use it intelligently.
Regards,
Radha Muralidhar

Hi..
This is indeed an awesome article..good to see such beautiful things explained with pictures and easy understanding.
People treat internet like God these days!! They rely on it so much, even more than God and others. But It really helps to be net savvy, but too much dependence is too bad. One would go crazy some time later.
Life has become easy, but one should not make it so easy that one forgets or looses the tendency to do something on their own.
Internet should be used for good purpose rather than for much non required stuff.
People waste so much time surfing for things which are not useful to them in any way.
So, make internet just a way of life, but dont make it your life!
But a good resource, i must say!

Hi Pamela,
It is really an excellent article on Internet with nice photos and simple explanations. Now a days it has become an essential to use Internet for each and every work that we do. Let it be railway ticket booking, or sending money to a friend, or booking a hotel room, or want to know about some place of tourist interest, or want to make friends who are very far away from you, or want to talk to your close relatives without any telephone bills etc. and many more. All this is possible only because of Internet. I can say that Internet is ruling the world in recent times. It has made our life easier. Each and every work can be done in split seconds. Now we can even pay our telephone bills thru internet, earlier days we had to stay in long queues and wait for hours together to pay the phone bills. Now we can pay the bills within few minutes that too sitting in our home.
