Why I Love the Internet

Love is a strong emotion and I don't use the word lightly, although I do love you.  ha, ha. But I really love the internet.  Let me count some of the ways.  

For one, if you want to learn about something, you may be able to find the course of study on-line.  I'm currently taking a course on programming in Java script.  I took several classes in computer programming back in the mid-eighties when we were living in Flint.  I only got to a certain level before giving up.  With two babies to raise and trying to earn some money plus the household responsibilities, it was too much for me.  I did like it though.  Now (Thanks To The Internet) I can easily review and learn more recent languages.  


Also and most valuable to me, when I have a problem with something that's not working, I first turn to the Net.  How to repair your Ipod, your VCR, whatever.  There are videos and blogs etc. and  soon enough you are ready to tackle the problem.


Of course, there is Craig's List and Ebay and many other things that I still haven't found.  


I remember when I first heard of the internet.  It was a new territory.  Unexplored and undeveloped.  We all saw the potential but didn't know how to take advantage of it.  Google, Youtube, Facebook what else could there be?  It's been fascinating so far.  I wouldn't want to be without it.  I hope we don't screw it up.
