Among the innumerable changes that mankind is encountering today, globalization is the most powerful catalyst that reached its domino effect to the world. It has not only paved way for more conventions and discoveries but has also enriched our culture as humans. With the invention of computers and the internet, life's race has become Tougher and the pacing has become faster where the fastest gets the meatiest part of the win when the portal of knowledge was opened to the world.
The invention of computers, its accessories, the internet and its related services was not a product of a single brilliant mind alone but a product of a number of ingenuities tested and developed by time and perfected by evolution. The first computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1882 while Ada Lovelace was the first programmer. From then on, perfecting its features and functions became a race until such prime names such as Ted Hoff, V. Cerf, Tim Berner Lee as well as Robert Cailliau, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Jimmy Wales, Mark Zuckerberg and others others' names were only a few that shaped our history and future.
Being the portal of information, computers and the Internet paved way for immense information that its vastness is unfathomable and inconceivable. Educational institutions, especially students benefited the most from this ingenuity as they are given a wide source of information in one click of the mouse. Doing research work has never become easier, faster and more convenient with the use of online information portals such as the Wikipedia, Google, MSN and among others provide unlimited source of information and alternatives.
If Bell Telephone Company took pride in their selves for inventing the telephone where a person can talk to another at the end of another line, sending information, research works and any other form of communication in an unlimited amount has never become faster through electronic mails or emails to and from all over the continents of the world. Social networks such as the Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and the sort are famous for creating connections to and from people all over the four corners of the world.
The magnitude as to how mankind benefit from the internet is like staring into the vastness of the open and distant skies seeing as far as our eyes are able to see. The downside of it is that, having an unlimited source of information, sometimes harbors danger, so it is our social responsibility to safeguard each others' privacy and exercise self-restrain to keep ourselves within the realms of reality and responsible education.
