Learning Expectations:

            Based on Chapter 7, I expect to learn how the internet can organize the markets across the whole world with convenience and ease. I also expect to learn how people can continue the success and the life of the internet through their imagination and ingenuity.

Review:

             The internet has really changed how the world goes around. A lot of things had happened through the internet and probably even more has yet to come these following years or in the near future. People used the internet for good and for other imbeciles for bad things. Those people who use the internet for good has changed the way people live across the planet.

People can buy online, read stuffs in blogs, see flashy pictures and videos, download music and other stuffs they are curious about and most importantly, the internet provided the people a way to communicate. Communication provided people a way to gain knowledge and created a link for them to converse across long distances. Connecting to people has really been a way for the internet to get popularization in just a short notice. People wanted a way to talk to their loved ones across long distances and it gave them a way to gain information and knowledge which is always a good thing.

Unfortunately, some people do bad things in the internet. The popular things are hacking and the so called virus. When people hack in the negative way, they are mostly stealing some stuff over the internet from money to personal and private information. The virus gives problem in a different way. It disrupts the way people use the internet. Some viruses destroy vital information from people and some just annoys people from their work preventing progress. Fortunately, anti-viruses can prevent these bad things from interrupting the way people use the web. The way people use the internet can also affect the success rate of the anti-viruses.

One way that people must know is that life is free. They shouldn’t be constrained in the management of some corporation or company. They should know how to converse to other people to avoid this kind of things from happening. When people communicate to others, they feel something that nothing else in this world feels, the kind of feeling that people feel when talking to other human beings. This feeling is something people don’t feel from talking to corporations because a corporation is just a made up entity that doesn’t know how to communicate to human beings.

People are also treated as robots inside these facilities. As if they were programmed to create projects, type long documents, repair broken things inside the building, fetch coffee for the bid boss, sell products made by the company, and the like. These are just some of the things that people do in the corporation that makes people want to have a break. The toils they acquire from working is released through the internet and that is why internet creates a way for these workers to have a break and release some steam by communicating to others.

A great thing that the internet did is that it helped a lot of powerless and normal people rise up and be known. The internet is so easy to use that many people just logged on and studied a few things, then voila! A new way for people to live their lives is born. The convenience and ingenuity that people create in the internet is used as soon as they release it. An idea which just popped out someone’s head has grown and became something that changes the world. That kind of things is the way the internet revolutionizes the world.

The imagination of an individual could be the source of something that people will use for the future. Maybe something elusive or ingenious will pop out someone’s imagination or idea which will change the course of humanity. These are just some of the possibilities than can happen in the internet.

The human imagination and idea can come from nothing at all to inspirations gone wild. The human mind is still a mystery after years of studying and researches about it. That just shows how the human brain can produce something and we all know it will. It’s just a matter of asking when and where. We will just have to wait and as we wait we should also expand our knowledge for possibilities to come. We ourselves can be the source of something that could change how people live their lives or even the world. It is up to people to do something for the success of the internet and also the world alike.

Lessons Learned:

            I have learned how people can create things up in their mind and use that idea to make things that would revolutionize and change the world we live in. The human imagination and thinking capabilities are limitless. This infinite and vast range of thinking is how the internet came to be.

I also learned how the internet changed the world by giving those normal people a chance to let other people know and see what they can do.
