The internet is an amazing thing. It is hard to believe as something who has had it for most of my life, that my parents grew up with out it and were just fine (or so they say). I do everything online now from school to work to fun.

As a college student, I use the internet to check emails from my teacher and communicate with other students from my classes when I have a question or maybe need notes. Also, all of our grades are up online and the notes for that semester and all of our assignments. Without the internet you literally could not pass most of my classes. And for a lot of them, they require online journal articles, which you need internet to search. I also work online and write articles and submit them, so doing that, and communicating with the people I work with is done through the internet basically everyday.

Being away from home can be hard too. I don't get to see my family for most of the year and friends are all away at different schools and we are now graduating. We keep in touch through email, instant messaging and even facebook. Without these, there is a very high chance that I would not be as close with them as I am now. My dad said that when he was in school he didn't really stay in touch with people from high school or home as much so when he was home, his relationships weren't as strong. I guess they didn't have cell phones either than though (weird).

Also, free online games and just surfing the web are amazing because when you aren't doing all of that school work and research and work for your job, you are able to play games on the internet (that are free!) and you can surf your favorite websites and even watch TV shows that you missed.

I can not imagine what my life would be like without the internet. I don't even really want to try. I am though very thankful that I was born at a time where I can do my banking online and stay in touch with my friends and even look up directions. The internet has made my life so much easier and without it, I can imagine it would be much more stressful.
