Interaction with Technology and the Web

Technology has changed drastically in the 19 years that I have been alive.  I remember when I had to do a few school papers on my moms typewriter because our family didn't have the hottest item yet, the computer.  With the computer came the internet.  The internet has made the lives of many people worldwide much easier.  Through means of the internet, we can be as current  as we possibly can be in relation to social networking, weather, and keeping up with the news/sports.  The popular websites, such as Facebook, Myspace, and twitter give users a better  way of communicating with loved ones, classmates, and friends.  These websites are for the intention of people communicating and staying current with the people they are close with.  Email is another popular way that through the advancement of technology and the web, many people are benefiting.  Email is used often between people with more serious intentions, and also for people wanting to stay close with the people whom they want to stay in touch with.  For example, teachers and students can communicate via Email, as well as business men doing work with another business.  Also, technology and the web have made it easier for people to stay on the leading edge of whats going on in the world.  The most up-to-date news, weather, sports events, and Hollywood entertainment can be found all on the internet.  Finally, many people are finding it easier to shop for just about anything on the web, rather than going out to the stores.  This is especially popular during Christmas time.
