The Internet's ability to give us up to date information quickly is one of the reasons it is so extensively used. The electronic "real-time" demands that we have are what is helping the Internet to grow. Who could think about living without email or the Web? Once the technology is there and we get used to it, it is difficult to think of reverting to the old way.
The Internet is a very powerful part of our lives, and it will continue to grow as time goes on. There are new developments being made every day, and there are always new applications and new software. Computers are being extensively used in classrooms, both at the elementary and university levels. Everyone is riding the technology wave, whether or not they want to. The Internet is part of our lives, and if we learn how to use the technology, we will be able to do things we have not been able to before.
