What if the Internet never came to be? What if there was no Internet? Do you remember life without the Internet, without search engines and without email? It was not all that long ago. Some say the change came too fast and it has affected our nation and society of our civilization in negative ways. Of course such comments are perspective based, they do come with good arguments and in fact some people have disappeared from society and no longer enjoy the companionship of others and do not socialize as much as before.

Some say this is a choice and others tell of how they have opened their horizons and met people online, which they may have never met had they not had this great tool called the Internet. Many compare the Internet as the greatest single advancement in communication in the history of mankind. That is indeed, difficult to refute. But what if it did not exist? Would people travel more or less? Many say they travel less now with online video conferencing but also say they have developed long-term relationships with people the have never met and hope to meet them one day. Some of these people live on the other side of the planet and there is a good chance they will never meet. Yet they both enjoy a camaraderie that could not have ever existed without the Internet and World Wide Web. Have you thought recently about how the Internet has changed your life? Think on it.
