I am so thankful for the invention of internet! Communication system has drastically progressed beyond my imagination. I remember way back then that I still have to go to town to call my loved ones and pay for every minute of our conversation.
Now, I can communicate with any relative or friend abroad through the help of social networking sites.
Before,I still have to go to the main library to do my research for my reports.
Whenever I want to try to cook a new dish, a simple click in the internet will do the trick. Raising and getting as much information on raising my baby is no longer a matter too. Anytime of the day with the help of Mr. Google, I can ask anything under the sun. With the help of e-books, I can also save some amount instead of buying a new one. In this way, we can also contribute on saving the planet earth.I can also get as much updates on current events about politics and even showbusiness. I can simply buy airline tickets online and it really really saves so much time.
I know there are a lot more!

At the Internet I can express my feelings thru writing blogs, communicating with other friends and interacting with some online activities. I am relieve of stress in surfing the net. I can relax by playing internet games. I met online friends who became so close to me and and treat me as their real friend. I felt given extra importance by friends for their messages, for their concern and for their love. At the internet I earn extra income.

Without it I wouldn't be able to earn money online. I am going to depend on it as my main source of income selling my products.

Right wiggles! I think I forgot to mention that internet has helped me communicate with my clients abroad. Email has also played a big role in my everyday communication at work. I should say that I myself have already benefited from using this technology.;)

The Internet is a very good venue of social interactions. Because when you have queries just post on sites like this and you will have your answers from people all over the world. You can make friends from the internet. And we can chat with loved ones on other countries, its an easy way to communicate. The internet helped me in so many ways from being able to chat with my family from other countries to online shopping. Also, I am thankful that the internet was invented because I can do my research with vast sources from all around the world. The kids of the next generation are lucky enough to have the internet. Because they can have all the answers they have all wanted. Also, it can be a source of income. It can also be a place where you can share ideas and feelings like in this forums. The internet helped us make our lives easier.

The internet has made alot of information easily available to me. It seems the more time passes, the more easier it becomes to get information off the internet. I have news, documentaries, articles, and discussion forums at the tip of my finger tips.

Being connected through voice, text, pictures and videos from anywhere in the world.
That's really awesome. We never thought that would be possible two or three decades ago.
This is perhaps just the tip of the iceberg. The internet is just amazing. It's real potential has not yet been fully realized.

Through the internet, it has become easier nowadays to look up anything. Whether it is on the job, to check out a personal parner or just to look up simple causes of allergies, which all would have been time consuming tasks and not to mention costly tasks,if the internet had not been there. So, I would say ya, the internet has been a very useful invention.

Internet has helped me in so many ways. From communicating distant love ones, internet surfing, video viewing, downloading soft wares, to killing boring moments by the help of social networks and chatting... I can't imagine a life without internet. That's why I'm very thankful for its invention. :)

The internet is very useful in more ways than one. It is very useful to each and every one of us, I use the internet mainly for research purposes, also as a means of communication. The world is now a globalized society resulting in a level playing field. With the advent of technology the world has become very competitive and fast paced, so if one is not tchhnology savvy he or she will be left behind.

It's helped me reconnect with family across the states, old schoolmates, increase my business, gain answers on a whim, avoid shopping lines/crowded malls, relieve boredom, stay current on events and things that could affect my family and business, and keep my kids occupied lol.

Internet helps me a lot. It serves as pond of knowledge. All the things can be read on Internet. You can also find your friends, shop online, online banking, keeping an eye on the latest trend, you can review the latest movies, music charts and a lot more. This is very useful especially with the students.
