The widespread use of the internet has given people access to information on a level never experienced before. How does this increase in the availability of information influence life in today's world?"
Certainly, many people if asked about the influence of the internet on our today’s life would agree that it has a tremendous effect, others wouldn’t agree with that. Of course, both sides have their own reasons. As far as I’m concerned, I adopt the opinion that the internet turned the world to look like a small city, which had an impact on the easiness of learning accessibility and information availability for the whole population. Let’s begin with, education, where it becomes just simple for anyone to google and learn anything whatever it is, especially there a lot of non-profit educational websites like Coursera, Edex, Udacity and Udemy which have endless of amazing courses in different disciplines presented by pioneers in their fields. In addition, it becomes free to have a massive library of electronic books about history, arts, science, novels, astronomy…etc. Moreover, it’s possible now to take your bachelor, Masters or PhD degrees online, all you have to do is to apply for the required course and go ahead. My own experience is a compelling example of that. After graduation, I worked for a pharmaceutical company as a medical representative and I had a dream to hold an MBA which was noticeable for hard at that time, a friend of mine told me that I can make my dream works, via sending my papers to a reputable university and just attend their cessions and exams online. After 2 years I did it, thanks to the internet. As a result, I can say that without the internet I couldn’t accomplish my MBA.
Secondly, with the assistance of social websites like YouTube, Facebook, Whats-app and many others, we can have a continuous update of what’s happening around us. We all now already have friends from all over the world with the aid of the internet. For instance, I have friends from U.S, Canada, Europe, south Africa, where we always talk to each other through these social applications, discuss world’s news, our different cultures, how we can make our countries better. And not to mention the significance of internet on public opinion would be an oversight. The Egyptian and other Arab revolutions fired out due to media and internet.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the internet had great effects on our life, the way we become cosmopolitan population. This is because the above mentioned benefits and advantages. Education is not only allowed for rich people but also for low-income students.
