Quote:  “Communication is a Powerful tool”

 

My learning expectations from this book is that I will learn some of the changes that we are adopting in this point of time. I will learn some of the things like where the internet came from and how did it started and how people learn how to use it. Countries around the world is connected because of this technology. This review will help me to learn much about people adjusting in the technology that we  have in this point of time.

Chapter 1

 

According to the book that I read we humans die, life is too short that’s why we human beings die. The reason why we die is because of the changes in the world. Sometimes we always thought of what productive thing must we do in order to make are lives productive as possible. I agree what the book says that “Things change and change is often painful” people get downgraded if change will occur with people who don’t adapt change.  Incredibly human beings or some of the human beings can live with it. We learn to adapt change because if we don’t, we will not survive in the world that we are living today. We know that all of the things in this world are temporary; people know that life is like that and it is not new to them.

 A human being would always want to achieve something he has not achieved yet.  He would not be contented with what he has at the moment. It is natural to have this feeling of searching something you don’t have at the present. People would always find ways to be happier than yesterday. This feeling of dissatisfaction is just normal and what exactly makes us a human person.

People die. Death is natural to moral beings. There is nothing to be upset about it, it’s just a matter of dealing with it and accepting it as a part of the human cycle because all of us will go through that, no one can escape it.

The beginning of the internet was a rough one because people were ignoring new ideas it introduced. People were laughing at those who give a damn entertaining the ideas of internet because they thought those were only delusions and impossible to be true.  But the internet surprisingly grew largely as it was ignored. People who built the internet were those who were not afraid to try things out, those who are not afraid to commit mistakes because if they do, they would still have more options. All they had to do is to do this and that and if they failed Plan A, they’ll proceed to Plan B. Their success was the beginning of internet getting well-known globally.

Nowadays, internet has attracted millions and millions of people. People found internet as a medium to communicate with each other without any delay or expensive bills. There are no constraints in the internet such as filters, censorship, sanctions, etc.  There was language which made people more attracted to the internet because they get to know new things about so many things and they also get to talk about so many things about so many subjects.

The internet was used almost exclusively for government-funded projects back then and was used as a mode of communication with regards to such works. These people got tired of doing same old thing every day and so they began to do pretty much whatever they liked and surfed the net whenever they are left by themselves at work. The thing is, people building up the net also left by themselves and got nothing to do but to experiment, did whatever they want.

In this age of internet, languages have been formulated. People chatting over the net say whatever they want and the definition of what they said may vary because the purpose might be different. It is in the matter of how a person expresses himself and explains it.  Everything is impossible and possible in the internet. It is hard to believe right away because everything can be subject to question.

 

As time goes by, there are more people using the internet and becomes more and more dependent on it. And as people use it, it poses power as a multiplier for intellectual capital.

Everybody’s hooked up in the internet. You can just type a single word and everybody would see it and probably, everybody would have an opinion regarding with what you said, or merely, acknowledge your presence in the room. People using the internet, particularly a chatter, learned how to use terms such as LOL, ASL, ROTFL, etc.

Connecting with people in the net or simply using it is not as hard as people who don’t know how to use it think. If a person knows how to use the net, a person who is not knowledgeable wouldn’t take a long time for him to learn how to surf the net because the net connects people to one another as if they’re not far away to each other. People using the net created a new language and that’s what makes people not to be bore with their lives. It is slowly becoming a culture.

Business is literally buying and selling things. We produce and make things and become the consumers as well. There is nothing wrong with this except when it becomes just the life.

The United States dominated the world market because it had large natural resources, growing population and a contiguous geography unbounded by tariff restrictions.

 

I have learned that the world is rotating fast so many changes can happen to world today especially the technology that we are using some people might be left behind but people will surely get along with the trend. And people will know how important is the internet in our daily lives.
