The Internet Is A Tool
The internet is a massively powerful tool that provides many useful services. Have you ever used it to:
- Research a subject - maybe you've needed to find out more about a particular subject before teaching others about it. Not only can you get factual information, but you can get opinions about it from other informed individuals too.
- Buy something - the chances are, if you can buy something in a physical shop, you can buy it online too. Buying online is often more convenient as you don't have to leave your house to go to the shop and you then don't have to carry your heavy shopping home again.
- Interact with other people - forums and blogs not only provide a rich source of specialist information (depending on the expertise of the blogger), but they offer an arena where you can share ideas and learn from others who are in the same field.
- Get entertained - online entertainment comes in a variety of guises from joke/humour sites to creative writing forums to video sites (think Youtube).
- Make money online - a surprising number of internet entrpreneurs are making substantial amounts of money with their online endeavours. Stay tuned for the slide that shows you how to give up your day job!
