Often I hear that people
are negative towards internet
phrases like "internet is not healthy for kids"
"internet is mostly rubbish"
"internet is unhealthy for our society"
etc etc etc
today I'd like to talk about
positive side(s) of internet
free education and books
firstly I'd like to point out free education
and books that available on the net
at the moment, and I think for the first time
in the history of human kind
there is place where stored the biggest ever
amount of knowledge
that ever existed on Earth
and that place is the internet
today you can educate yourself and learn
things
no matter where you live
you can do it without leaving the house
I'd like to show a few links
for some very good educational resources
for example on this page we have at least 40 links
for free educational platforms and websites
it is natural that most of them are on English
and that should be fine based on the fact that even for learning to code
you would need to know the language
I'd like to point out one of the the websites which I use nearly every day
it's TED.com
on that website you can get inspired or learn
by watching and listening to TED talks made by smart and famous people
usually these people are noteworthy
they either achieved things or went through something tough and now wishing to share their experience
there is also this link
where websites are grouped by categories
for example Language Learning
learning by watching category
courses
learning how to write code
etc
Freedom to choose things and news
thanks to the internet we can choose what we buy
as an example
I can open amazon
or any other online shop in Russia
here
I can choose whatever I want
funny example is this card game "Exploding kittens"
to be honest I have not played in it, but it seems pretty funny
today we can buy things
no matter where we live
here is what I mean by freedom of news
if you compare internet to TV news channels
especially while keeping in mind that TV is usually controlled by several people
who have interested
in the content shown
to people watching them
it's different with the internet
without going to specific examples
like China with their Firewall
which blocks some websites
as I remember in Russia
most of the websites are available
unless LinkedIn is still blocked
(I am not really sure if it was)
here is the way I choose to check news in Russia
I usually go to news.google.com
I check it every day
chose Russia in the drop down menu
and it shows the links on the most visited news articles to the day
you can check any other country e.g. UK
etc
Remote work
when I just got to Cluj
working on a single job was tough
hence I tried to find second(remote) job
in order to improve my lifestyle at that moment
and, as an example, on this website
it is now upwork.com
it is/was possible to find remote job
generally
related to your skills, and for me at that time
it was the easiest to find translation jobs
Charities
I think thanks to the internet
in some cases and in some places of the world
human rights are being neglected or people suffer
and the internet gets to know about that - well, let's just say it helps to stir things and
often helps
and saves the situation
and let's not forget about charitable organisations
like Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Bill Gates - co-founder of the Microsoft Corporation
just for statistics
starting from 1990
they saved nearly 122 million kids
I think it is a tremendous number
it's amazing to see
where the world is going
that people try to help other people
no matter of their race, class, and wealth
as with Bill Gates, at the moment
*let's check it out*
right - the richest people in the world
I think he is on the first place
and yep - he is
his wealth is estimated at $86 billion
and he plans to give most of it to charity
most of the people on that list
are members of that foundation Bill Gates and his wife started
they help people in need
they try to help to cure diseases for good
a lot was invested to help people in Africa
etc
Social networks and apps for communication
again, based on the internet
social networks were created
and the apps for communication
which help us on a daily basis talk to each other
independent from our locations around the world
to end this long and boring talk
I want to say that
The internet - is the key to free society.
