week 4: money and internet!


What changes can we identify as a result of the internet's impact on our economy. Simply we have gained employment opportunity and at the same time lost some to. Im pretty sure since the introduction of some thing called email, some of our postmen flying around the country on their red bikes may have been out of a job. But on the flip side, if these posties enrolled in a computer course or two they could have possibly found themselves involved in managing a network, being a computer technician or one of the million other jobs that the internet has provided.

I think that with the introduction of the internet, many things are still in its developing stages. Now with out even leaving the comfort of your home you can easily purchase one of the trillion products advertised on the internet. Online shopping has been a big success in the last few year with companies who are worth multiple millions not even owning a shop front. The traditional method walking in to a shop and trying what you like and then buying it is slowing being won over to the internet. I personally like the satisfaction of handing my money in return for something straight away, although the joy of opening the door to the delivery guy and unrapping your brand new toy from ebay is pretty good also.  Who knows what the future has in store for us in regard to the internet and its development, but im pretty sure it will be a big one, and for those who have the foresight to predict what is coming will have the potential to make some big money.
