Youth + Internet = Luck
« on: August 19, 2016, 09:32:13 AM »
This just came into my mind.

When I was in elementary school and high school there was no computer or internet.
And when I was in college computer and  the internet is very rare and only few can benefit from it.
In short when I was in college internet is really just a toddler.

So, people were born beginning the year 2000's is very lucky.
Because they have this very powerful tool called "The Internet".
Just imagine when I was in High school studying English is really boring and not so exciting.
Books are expensive and you can only mingle with your fellow English classmates at school only.
While these days you can mingle with them anytime you want through the internet, even if you don't meet them
at the same time interval. For instance in this forum.

Not only that, Information are really getting very cheap and often free and very fast and fresh.
And you can study it at your own pace.

Sorry for my moaning and whining. lol


If you saw my grammar is wrong, then correct me if I'm wrong. This is why I'm here to learn English.

Your ruminations--not really moaning and whining, mind you--about the Internet reminded me of an essay I wrote in my column in The Manila Times over 14 years ago, "Waltzing on the Web." I'd like to share it with you and other Forum members by posting it here in The Lounge, right after this. I hope you'll like it.
