Only a few decades into the information age, we've already discovered thousands of new ways to communicate. People are sharing ideas, discovering vast amounts of information on every imaginable topic and eliminating boring, repetitive tasks. Netizens are socializing in unconventional ways and making friends in countries halfway around the globe. Digital technology has created a fundamental change in the way the world works. We're no longer restricted to using physical objects.
People enjoy using technology.
We should take advantage of the power of the Internet. The Net gives people easy access to newspapers in far-away cities and towns. They can also listen to local radio broadcasts in RealAudio. Expatriate Canadians living in Ohio , and Geneva, Switzerland can check up on the latest happenings in Moose Jaw and Ste-Agathe. Just five years ago, overseas subscriptions would have cost them thousands of dollars a year, and they would have been listening to crackling shortwave sets instead of clear digital sound.
