For most people on Idjwi, the arrival of the Internet has marked an astounding change. The machine has, indeed, come alive. Now we just have to make sure that it contributes to the quality of life on this tiny island. The people of Idjwi have joined a battle that we’re all fighting: To make sure that technology serves people, rather than the other way around
The early start of the Internet
The way the world has changed in the past 50 years has been absolutely staggering. From the early start of the internet, which can be traced back to 1945, we now find that most of us heavily struggle to go a single day without using the internet. Especially in living through a pandemic, I think everyone has had no choice but to be more digitally active than ever. We’ve moved from buying newspapers and CDs (as pointed out by a fellow digital society citizen below) to be able to have a device with nearly everything we could need in our front pocket. Included in this is generations of young adults, including myself who grew up on the internet. More to this, I couldn’t imagine a life without it.
Vídeo: The images of the shiver
YouTube allows normal people to make videos on whatever they wish (which is a problem every now and then) for no cost. This power has created TV shows and even companies. A representation of this is the infamous comedy series known as “Red Vs. Blue” by RoosterTeeth. Red Vs. Blue is an animated series using the different colored characters from videogame Halo as their “actors.” The first episode was made as a video for fun, and did not expect to continue making episodes or to make a 10-season long show. The first episode, titled “Why Are We Here,” was passed around and watched by about 5 million people. After season 1, the staff of RVB got a letter from Microsoft saying that they didn’t know where RVB was going or what it will become, but that they had Microsoft behind them. From there, their company, RoosterTeeth, became larger and was able to make a whole new branch to their company known as Achievement Hunter. The founders of RoosterTeeth — Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, Geoff Ramsey, and Gus Sorola — were able to hire more people onto RoosterTeeth. The point of all of this is the fact that the Internet not only created a great comedy series, but it also created a tightly knit community that had not existed before and never would have without the Internet. Another great example occurred recently when a comic was posted to the self-proclaimed “Front Page of the Internet,” Reddit. The comic said that a girl’s friend was clearing out the medicine cabinet and found a pregnancy test, and decided to take it as a joke.

A student no longer needs to spend long hours in libraries searching for a desired piece of information. A web search engine can provide the needed material just at a click of a button and no matter which remote corner of the world you are in,’ the Internet will keep you side by side of the latest developments in your area of interest.
Internet – The Internet is truly unique.
The Internet is truly one of the greatest things ever conceived by mankind. It allows almost instantaneous spread of information, ideas, and knowledge. It educates people about what their government is doing, and allows them to easily establish protests against it. It is completely open to new ideas, as anyone with a connection can spread their thoughts to the entire world The Internet is by far one of the greatest inventions of all time for many reasons. The Internet allows people to share ideas, meet old friends, and even express their problems to the masses. While the Internet creates all of these great phenomena, it also brings out some of the crazies of the world.
Internet to me is a great blessing
The Internet to me is a great blessing. Name any aspect of human life education, business, entertainment, travel, sports etc and you’ll see the profound impact the Internet has on it. This is so important, so vital and so indispensable device that how can we afford to lag behind by ignoring it. How can we afford to be cut off from the outside world? I don’t know how our society can develop without having access to this vital source of development. Only a fool can do so and I don’t think that we are fools; at least, I am not Whichever it may be the internet has proved itself very helpful tool in many ways, it has opened a gateway for people; it made it possible for us to communicate with people from the other side of the world. Allowing us to meet new people and discover new places even though we are not there. The internet is easily accessible to everyone because it is inexpensive and can be afforded by most
Vídeo: The story of the digital Society
Learning about the history of our Digital Society, specifically the internet, has really changed my outlook on it. Previously mentioned was my failure to understand my parents travelling to a record store, this course has made me reassess how quickly online activities change between generations. When I was a child there was no Facebook, no Snapchat but now I am nearly dependent on these to communicate with others. There are children being born into a new generation: with even more advancements to be made. There is a need to keep up to date with the current culture, as a child you are born into them and quickly develop habits. I have learnt the importance of not getting stuck in your ways and keep up to date with our society. The current era of our Digital Society has so many new positives and negatives that could not have been predicted even as far as a decade ago. The importance of these pros and cons are ones that come with an ever-changing world.
Vídeo: The should travel alone, a very petite
Now we will go to the dark depths of the Internet where no one should travel alone, so I will be your guide. There is a balance in life to everything, including the Internet. The Internet’s dark yin to it’s light yang is mainly confined to one website, YouTube. YouTube has produced videos that have made the news for their strange and uncommon features. Now please, brace yourself with the videos you are about to hear about and, if you choose, watch. Now, I am sure a large majority of the crowd on Huff Post Teen has seen the music video “Friday.” “Friday” has become the most-disliked video on YouTube racking up 43 million views. “Friday” is an example of people who make a music video and then post it to YouTube, thinking that it is amazing. What these people do is publicly embarrass themselves and the other people in the video. Just recently, a new Rebecca Black has made herself known. Her name is Nicole Westbrook and her video is called “It’s Thanksgiving.”
