11. As we know, approximately fifty years ago television was introduced, making the world

smaller by bringing images from all four corners of the world into our homes. Over the

last decade or so, a breakthrough in technology has come into our lives which is making

the world even smaller: the Internet. With a PC and a telephone line, we are now

connected to the whole world in a matter of seconds.

12. It is now possible to speak to relatives and friends anywhere in the world cheaply and

quickly. It is even possible, with something called a webcam, to see and hear them at the

same time. It was not that long ago that the only way to communicate with family

members who were far away was by letter, which could take days or sometimes weeks to

reach its destination.

13. The Internet also allows us to access a world of facts, figures and knowledge. If we have

a question on any subject at all from history to mathematics or philosophy to geography,

it can be discovered on the Net. We can find out the latest news or what the weather is

going to be like. Many subjects that required the reading of books and were once only

available to a few people are now available to everybody.

14. The Internet not only means that we can communicate with loved ones but also with

complete strangers. By using “chat” services, it is possible to meet and exchange ideas

with people from all over the world. It is sometimes unbelievable to think that the person

we are writing to may be thousands of miles away, living in a completely different culture

with a way of life that is nothing like our own. Of course, to be able to do this, we must

speak the same language and that’s why most communication on the Internet takes place

in English.

15. Other services are also available through the Internet. One of these which provides hours

of pleasure for many people is the ability to download songs and music from other

people. This has also helped to bring down cultural barriers as we are able to hear all the

different kinds of music that exist all over the world. This helps us to understand other

cultures better and makes us familiar with what used to be regarded as something

completely foreign and strange to us.
