Effects of technology

Modern Technology has had a tremendous effect on the lives of people and their entertainment habits. Today, the Internet has undergone a phenomenal global growth. It has become such an important data-gathering and communication source that few can't afford to ignore. The Net encircles the globe.

    Young people spend a lot of time on their computers because it’s exciting and they have found in the Net new ways of meeting a basic human need: the desire to communicate with other people. E-mail sends electronic messages from one person to another – like letters, but capable of crossing the Atlantic in 15m. File transfers move bulk data from one computer to another with these capacities, the Internet becomes post office, printing press and meeting-place all in one.

    Some people are making a fortune in cyberspace. Most companies have their own websites; others exist only on the Internet. They are something called “dot com” companies. Some of the most successful Net entrepreneurs are teenagers who are still at school. They are called internet nerds.

   To become a successful entrepreneur all you need is: to start a webpage of your own, have a good idea for a business, think of a catchy name and find someone to lend you money. And remember! English is the most used business language!

         1. The Internet doesn't interfere at all with people’s lives.
