Honor of One Web Day

   In honor of One Web Day, I asked some people 4 questions about the interenet.
        1-How did you spend your time differently before the Internet?
        2-What things were harder to do before the Internet?
        3-What things are easier to do now with Internet?
       4 -How has it affected the way you work and live?
———————————————————–
    First, I asked my mom, and here are her answers~
1- Well, it hasn’t impacted my life much to do things I dont do now, but I use to go to friends houses, work, spend time with husband, traveled. *Remember, my mother only uses the Internet at work, and rarly at home, only like 3 times a month….*
2-Look up information, we always had to og to the library. Access directions. Things in job would have to be hand written and mail through post-office.
3-Talk and email people, sharing/downloading pictures, can get recipes without having to buy a whole book for only one recipe.
4- 90% of my job is working with the internet and computer, would be very tough without it.

   Next, I asked my Dad the same questions~
1- Talk to my wife, sit outside, play games with family and friends…
2- Keeping track of finances, communicating, getting any info.
3-Getting current, up-to-date info, reasearching, paying bills.
4-More efficient in both, mode job a lot easier, at home it helps the kids with studys…

    And finally, I asked my neighbor was she thought~
1-Read, do puzzels, same things I do now…
2-Research…..look up pictures
3-Email and talk to family, find information about anything and everything
4-It is a MUST HAVE for work. My work would be nothing without it, no one would be able to do their jobs…

    ~As you can see, things were harder before there was interent, some things were the same trying to do things but it turned out to be hard. Now with interent, things are a lot easier, and we should appreciate that its here.~
