Internet: Transforming Communication and Daily Life

The Internet's Impact on Daily Life

Nowadays, I use the internet almost like a hobby. I can communicate with my friends very easily. Since the internet was created, you have many options in your life, for example, in your hobbies or in your studies. It's easier to find things, to find jobs, to watch films, and to listen to music. I usually use the internet for reading news in the online newspaper. I can play with my friends online. And the most important thing: I can do my homework, and I can study via the internet. I'm doing a course now, and I need the internet for it. Also, I can buy many things online because there are many online shops. Previously, you couldn't imagine this. This was impossible. The internet allows me to be in contact with my family, even if they are far away. For example, I have a cousin in another country, and I can talk with her every day as if she were near.
