You can see many TV commercials on computers now. They try to sell computers with INTERNET. Have you ever used INTERNET? Do you know how INTERNET is used?
INTERNET is useful when you are looking for information. You do not have to go to a library to find many different things. If you have a computer with the INTERNET, you have your own library. You can also find out about schools all over the world. One of my American friends living in Japan used the INTERNET and chose a school to go. He did not have to go back to America to visit different schools. More than three hundred high schools in Japan are on the INTERNET. If you want to know when to take a test or how much to pay, it's very easy to find out such information on the INTERNET.
You can use the INTERNET to send and to receive letters. I received a letter from a friend in America. He wanted to know about something. I answered him on the INTERNET, too. If we use regular letters, we will need about two weeks. But using the INTERNET helped us, and it took only three days to finish writing letters to each other.
You can also enjoy shopping on the INTERNET. You don't have to go to different stores to decide what to buy. If you have something that you want to sell, you can use the INTERNET to sell it. You can be a businessman. The INTERNET is used in schools, too. In many countries, the INTERNET gives classes to the children who live very far from schools. Having a computer at home is very useful, isn't it?
If the INTERNET can give you lessons, you may think that schools are not necessary any more. But is it true? If you don't go shopping in stores, and if you don't go to school to play with your friends, it is easy for you to become a person who can talk only on the computer and you will lose human emotions. In many countries, there are many people with INTERNET Syndrome. Schools will be necessary, because you learn not only your subjects but also human relations at school. It is necessary to learn how to use the INTERNET, but it is also important to learn to use it wisely.
