Professor Teehankee once said that the geeks and nerds will rule the universe one day. This can be true because nowadays, the Internet completely dominates our lives. On one hand, the Internet is very convenient because it has information that we need to know. Gone are the days when we spend hours in the library, looking for the right books to satisfy our curiosity. Today, the answers to our questions are just one click away because Yahoo, Google and Wikipedia exist. On the other hand, it becomes an avenue for us to keep in touch and updated with our loved ones and friends who live abroad through electronic mails and social networking sites such as Facebook, Multiply, Twitter, Tumblr and Friendster.
The Internet has affected my life in various ways. It helped me see the world in a different way and learn more about different things through researching in Yahoo, Google, etc. The Internet has become a part of my school life and without it, I might have not survived. And like I said, it is a tool for me to get connected with my relatives and friends who live far from our home in Laguna or the Philippines itself.
I believe that the power of the Web 2.0 can be harnessed by giving more people opportunities to learn about it so they can create designs, programs or softwares that can make Internet surfing, researching, job hunting and the like more accessible. By teaching more people about Web 2.0, there might be programs or softwares that can cater to those who don't have full access to Internet (and it includeds those who have special needs). These can help them learn how to use the computer and have Internet access in a much easier way. As a result of this, the digital divide can be resolved too.
Since I have mentioned the positive effects of the Internet, now it’s time to look at its negative effects. For instance, the use of the social networking sites allows us to express ourselves and let the world have a glimpse of what is happening to our lives. But, if we are not careful enough, it can be damaging. They can be used as a tool to invade our privacy. That is why using them can be scary at times because what we post there might earn a point against us. It can give some people who look at it a wrong impression about ourselves. Therefore, when we use the Internet, we must be careful in everything that we say and post to avoid things like this. It should be an instrument to build positive relationships with others and not otherwise.
