A Web That Entangles The Whole Wide World

I wake up in the morning, turn on the computer and connect to the internet. That is when my life begins. I go to my homepage, check if there's any worthwhile news. Have there been any more explosions in the Eastern province? Is there any progress in the battle between Obama and McCain? What's the weather going to be like in Colombo today? And most importantly is there any new celebrity gossip?

The internet plays a massive role in my life. My brother, cousins and most of my friends live abroad and for me to keep in touch with them, the internet is vital.

Though, on a day the internet connection doesn't work, it feels like my arm or leg is broken, is it really the most important invention ever? Sadly, I'd have to disagree. Communication is one of the most important tools in life. But can we survive without it? To some extent at least, we can.

Food, water, education and medicine; those are the things, in my opinion, that help us survive in this world. In my opinion, the inventions of the water purifier, canned foods and the educational system are far greater than the internet. A child in Africa that has no clean water, no food to eat or energy to learn, would surely agree with me.

To invent the wonderful creation of the internet, other greater inventions were used. For example the great Alexander Grahambell's light bulb is obviously a very vital invention for the internet to be created.

Although I disagree with the fact, the internet is the most important invention ever, I'd have to say that it is one of the most important inventions ever. For without fast communication via the internet we would not be able to give the clean water, food and medicine to that child in Africa.

Basically for the world to go round, nowadays, we need the internet. And as Charles Darwin said, only the fittest will survive in this world, and clearly we need the internet to survive. But we shouldn't forget that there are more important things in life than the internet, and that we can't achieve everything through the internet as well.
