Experience of using Internet

I did not know anything about Internet when I was small. In addition I live in rural area so, the connection of Internet did not seem very familiar among citizens there. I was introduced to Internet only when I was studying at boarding school (since Form 1) because at that time there was a computer class so, we learnt the Internet from the beginning. The teachers in-charge taught us how to create an email account as our first lesson. Seriously, I felt very difficult to start off because I never went through of using the Internet before. But  it seems smooth by time to time since I tried to get used to it and found the Internet was so interesting. 

Early year 2000s, the connection of Internet was very limited. My father installed the Internet by using dial-up. It took several times to connect to server. The funniest thing that I experienced at that time is I fall asleep when I was waiting the dial-up. LOL.. I started to know how to chat when I was 14th when saw my sister and brothers actively used MiRC to connect with new friends. I tried it too. I addicted to chat until 17 years old and since then I never went there because people were moving forward to use social networking channel. The famous social network at that time is friendster. Nowadays we have many kind of social networkings. 

After SPM, I got offer to study at matriculation. During studying there, I was exposed to other function of Internet and information technology. This time I learnt how to create short video and sketching by using paint. It was so excited of using the new knowledge and can still practice it till now. I also was guided by lecturers of invent and create website. I think website is quite complex and need all our effort and creativity to come out with ample ideas to make it interesting. We were asked by lecturers to enter the website competition but, since I did not have any courage or passion, I just pulled out from the competition. All this while, I think I still want to learn more about website and wanted to have my own. 

Time passed by and I see there are many evolution of Internet and IT. It is too fast especially the invention and innovation of gadgets like computer, laptops, handphones, softwares and so forth. People can come out with a new model of handphone even every three months. How advance the technology right now, isn't it? If we are at the era of native technology, we need to have basic knowledge in order to avoid us become alienated by others. If we could not to buy or own the new gadgets, at least learn about it to make sure we can get along with others. 

So far, I think I can get used to Internet and IT without having any big problems. I can even teach my parents how to use the Internet to get information such as daily news, recipes, watch videos and so on. We can access all the websites free of charge as long as we have the Internet connection. AlsoI can make money through online. A friend of mine already taught me how to use blog, forum and website to advertise my products and get customers through online. It is very simple and I am pretty sure other people can make it too. But, just beware and be careful because there are many hackers and people who abuse the Internet usage. Don't simply trust strangers by giving personal information to ensure we will not be involved any crime  without knowing it. 

Therefore, use the Internet wisely for good purposes so that our works can be done successfully. Do not spend too much time on Internet because we tend to surf to unwanted sites and just waste our precious time.    It also can cause eye strain if we use it for long hours. So, try to avoid it. The experience of using Internet such a wonderful time after gone through the difficult moment. At the end I found it is very useful to my daily life. That's all from me..
