Why
Internet is so important ?
Let's put it this
way - what happens if I do not care about Internet
?
None - if you feel
technology is not going to touch your life in
any way, like a monk in a remote Himalayan cave.
You ignore it at
your own peril. For, what happens if you do not
use telephone, fax, photocopier ....? Well, you
still do things as your competitors do though
in a vastly inefficient, inferior way. Others
in your field will be able to do much more in
much less time leading to far more productivity
(and profit !) than you.
To put things in
proper perspective - it is not the sheer number
of computers that are connected through Internet
or technology involved. It is the power of millions
of people who are behind these computers that
are creating not ripples but tidal waves
For, never before
in the history of human civilization so many people
from so vastly different places and societies
freely interacted with each other. What we are
witnessing today is a massive transformation in
our society and outlook. That's the power of technology
that touches our everyday life no matter how much
we may agree/disagree or like/dislike it.
Such a fantastic
societal force is bound to influence many more
areas of our life than we care to think about
- entertainment, media, jobs, trade, commerce
are few of the areas that are set to change irrevocably
with advent of Internet and its associated technologies.
It is not just desirable
but essential that you understand the power of
this latest societal force and make necessary
changes in whatever you do factoring the advantages
of technology |
