               for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it..." - Herman Melville

Learning Expectations:

 

 

- I want to learn and understand what the author wants to signifies. I want to relate myself with deep understanding of the topics he had open. I would like to know what he really visualized in terms of his reports. I want to enlarge my ideas about what’s really behind the history of the internet and how it affects people lives as part of their living and doing things.

 

 

Review:

 

 

As a start, the author made an introduction about surviving; he knows that it can relate to the succeeding topics, if people can survive through the used of internet that which is we know being dominated and even more growing as time goes by. Due to its effect, having internet as their main medium, it’s too dangerous that people might to be to abusing in using it an forget to used other reliable medium that they’ve been using for the first place when internet is not that well known or being polished.

 

 

How do internet really grew that fast? For some it grows that fast due to its complex used, it’s very easy to handle, more basic and user friendly. That’s how other users define it, especially for those people who use it as part of their business or income strategy. When the internet grows, the World Wide Web (www) started to bloom, nowadays this www becomes the mainframe or start of every designs for a web, it’s the people basis that once www is indicated, it has something to do with the internet. Advantage of the internet is that, it’s a much faster medium and a very effective tool for communication, you can gradually talk, invite people, make them know what you’re into and etc. this are just part of having internet as your medium, and there’s  nothing wrong with it, besides it’s a very practical thing to do, why make yourself to hard to do things if there’s a reliable tool you can use, but then for every advantages, there’s a disadvantage, likely regards to people on how they found or define the internet, how they used it or how they handle things in common. Abusing things is very dangerous; it can even harm us when the right time comes. Internet has so many purposes, actually, when the internet is still not fully developed, government basis, business process and even games is its main function, it has been upgraded and continued. This purposes is just its first source but when the net gets to grew and dominated, more designs and more uses is been launched. Nowadays internet is consider as a powerful open source, because just a simple click, you can download everything that you need, without even you having a hard time to get something and it even take a long time to do, long process we can tell.

 

 

As internet grows upon the environment, a distinction / comparison are made. They even get to see the difference between the past and the present. For some, people have different mindset about using the internet as a medium, others main purpose is to use it for business, advertising, proposing and many more, others just want to have the leisure of connecting other people and have a huge conversation worldwide. Marketing conversation is a big factor of why the net really getting huge, the author only implies to the notion that the internet is getting bigger by the use of business basis were in they contribute things in the same way. As of what I’ve said lately, there’s a comparison of the ancient market to the global network, it differs in terms of usage, if in the ancient market, to gain your name, you should do it manually, have conversation with people in actual which is somehow much better, because facing the customer and promoting them things you have is much clearer and create a bond between you and them, suddenly, global networks comes in, which is more hi-tech and much easier to use, you can even do multitasking without you being rush things up, all basic by the help of the internet. There’s this notion that people might be alienated by the growing power and succession of the internet, due to the fact that it is more used than other mediums, it even change the life of every people, changing their lives by having new profession in making things more complex.

 

 

Internet gets to impact more, and its worst, for some companies, their customer gets to now demand for more, like, upgrades of features, data, etc. which gives to the company a hard time to take, due to the fact that they need to study things for them to do such in a way their customer wants it to happen by all means, because for the customers, they think that because of internet things can get faster and easier, but the truth is, it somehow take time to be done or learned. Then LAN is introduced which is easily been adapted by some companies and use it for their own purposes, by just simply plugging and fixing connections through it.

 

 

As the internet grows, IT world gets to be to crowded and occupied, as the impact continues, many professionals’ switches to study more the web because it is now the growing population that gets to be dominated in the environment.

 

 

Fear of abusing things gets to be the problem, were in freedom is being to much practice and forget that there’s still rules to be followed to be professionally known. For others they just want to use the net as mean of their voice, to be able to unleash the silence of every people, for them to get the freedom they’ve been craving for.

 

 

As a part, due to all of the studies made by the author, he want to give an impact, that internet is a medium for communication / conversation and not for market, its just been adapted because other people find internet as a global market, and there’s no such of a global market, its about communicating to others. Remember that we should never forget what our first medium is when internet is not yet introduced in our environment. Its still favorable that we should still practice the natural way of communicating, because that creates a more practical scenarios than any other medium of conversation.

 

 

What I’ve learned:

 

 

- I’ve learned that, the internet gets to affect our daily lives like a drugs, it can easily been adapted and test. I’ve learned also that the old ways should not be trash because there are these beliefs that there’s always a new tool to make our lives easier. I’ve know also that even things have change that fast, it should turn us as aliens for the new creation, we are the one that should give the internet a use, not us, because we are all the main power why internet survives, its because we used it.
