How computer change my life.

The internet -- As a child, I read every science fiction book I could get my hands on, and surprisingly, very few postulated anything like the internet. Neither did I, yet when I finally grasped the idea, it seemed so obvious, so exactly what human beings needed. In only a few years, I was able to look virtually anywhere in the world, 24/7, for the information I needed. Suddenly, national boundaries seemed much less meaningful. My smart-ass answer, when people asked me where I was from, became "Earth."

Google -- Without an effective index, the internet would be as useless as a library full of randomly shelved books without covers. While early search engines like Alta Vista did an OK job of finding content, Google was a quantum leap forward. It's notion of using page popularity to rank search responses rightly dominated the market overnight.

Online gaming -- I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I'm aware that the leap from gaming on the home television to joining a worldwide gaming community via the xBox and other systems has enthralled whole generations. If it had existed when I was young, I'd have been addicted to it, I'm sure. I hope I would have had the sense to avoid internet gambling, though. That's an expensive addiction.

Instant messaging -- Before I began using instant messaging, or IM, I didn't understand how it differed from e-mail. Now I think I do. If e-mail is a postal letter, IM is a note passed from hand to hand behind the teacher's back. You e-mail your mom, IM your BFF. IM is social, e-mail is professional. IM is, well, instant. E-mail is like, whenever.

Potential threat of using computers

If you connect to the Internet, allow other people to use your computer, or share files with others, you should take steps to protect your computer from harm. Why? Because there are computer criminals (sometimes called hackers) who attack other people's computers. These people can attack directly, by breaking into your computer through the Internet and stealing your personal information, or indirectly, by creating malicious software to harm your computer.
