browsing through internet is the easiest way of contacting the world.and the cheapest as well than travelling or visiting a library or museum or meeting people.whatever.but sometimes i got discouraged because there are sites especially in youtube which could not be opened because it is not available in my country.have you experienced this as well in your country?

This is one thing that I have noticed as well! When I want to look at a particular video on youtube I receive this crazy message about how this particular video is not available in my own country. Sometimes I receive a copyright message stating that a particular video is not available for viewing in my country due to copyright issues! I thought there were supposed to be no restrictions on the good old Internet!
Overall I am pretty pleased with my use of the Internet and for the majority of the time I am able to do what I want to do when I want to do it! As you say, it's much cheaper to access information via the Internet rather than having to pay for travel costs in order to visit a library or a museum. I think it's wonderful that we have all this information available at our very fingertips! Andrew

Internet can be limited by its bandwidth only.In regular application this is negligible but in bigger commercial applications this is the main issue.There are lots of demerits of internet like correctness of information available,spamming,viruses e.t.c. but these are not come in limitations.What you people say?

I feel that the internet as a great tool.It though is just not the same as going to a library or museum and seeing tangible books and artifacts that a computer screen is just unable to recreate the same way.Instant communication and widespread knowledge online is something that is taken for granite in this current generation.Just 15 or 20 years ago this sort of technology was at its infancy and what we can do today was unimaginable back then.

So far I have not been disappointed with the use of Internet. Yes I have experienced not being able to open some sites since they are not available for viewing in my country but it rarely happens and I always find an alternative to that.
I am thankful for the Internet because it made me closer to people who are million miles away from me and it made the world smaller. It also brought me back to God during those times that I was lost. I know there are some down sides to this but it's how we use it in our life that makes it more useful and helpful.
