The internet is an amazing piece of technology that allows you to communicate with people (strangers and friends alike) all around the world, which simply isn't possible and/or practical with telephones. In this sense, the internet builds bridges, which helps connect vast groups of people thay wouldn't otherwise communicate with each other.  Examples: myspace, chatrooms, online forums, yahoo answers\n\nHowever, the internet can also builds walls.  Sitting in front of a computer isolates you from local people.  You can lack real human contact, which is important for a fulfilling life.  Also, nowadays, people can do almost everything online: check grades, banking, grocery shopping & other kinds of shopping, etc.  The convenience of doing everything online prevents people from going out to a store or a bank and interacting with people face-to-face.\n\nTo conclude, the internet is both a curse and a blessing.  It can work for you or against you, and this depends on how you choose to use it.

Safe? Yes. Is it ethical? Probably not but I think the rule of thumb is jump on and do what you have to do quickly and get off. You are in essence borrowing (stealing) thier bandwidth and it is more polite that if you HAVE to use it just be brief so it does not interfere with what they want to do with the bandwidth they paid for. Not that I am on the moral high road. I do it from time to time but I just get on check e-mail an get off. i don't surf for too long.

INTERNET\nThe Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANET. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other universities. A side benefit of ARPANet's design was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster. \n\nToday, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguishes the Internet is its use of a set of protocols called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP protocol.\n\nFor many Internet users, electronic mail (e-mail) has practically replaced the Postal Service for short written transactions. Electronic mail is the most widely used application on the Net. You can also carry on live "conversations" with other computer users, using Internet Relay Chat (IRC). More recently, Internet telephony hardware and software allows real-time voice conversations. \n\nThe most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web"). Its outstanding feature is hypertext, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are "clickable." If you move the pointer over a spot on a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you can click and be transferred to another site.\n\nUsing the Web, you have access to millions of pages of information. Web browsing is done with a Web browser, the most popular of which are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The appearance of a particular Web site may vary slightly depending on the browser you use. Also, later versions of a particular browser are able to render more "bells and whistles" such as animation, virtual reality, sound, and music files, than earlier versions.

Happiness. The internet is just an information tool.  Happiness comes from friends, family and a feeling of self-worth. You cant get that on the internet.

the internet is a virtual representation of our real life, i look at it like a forum. We interact in many ways on the internet by doing stuff like business, chatting, surfing, emailing, and stuff like that which is similar to what we do in real life. In real life we open a shop for business just like how we setup a website and sell stuff, we chat online just like how we have conversations in real life, we surf the net for anything that might interest us just like how we travel new places discovering new things in real life, emailing online just like how we have conversations with our neighbours and friends or colleagues at work place, get the point?\n\nThe internet is a vital tool of computers that have evolved just like how humans have migrated from caves to have a urban living in cities. Computers are a machine created by humans with a vital tool called the internet to perform tasks that make our daily lives more interesting. It's another spectrum of us being humans. Computers will be integral in our lives no matter how much some might dislike it.\n\nIm doing business online and i like it, check out the websites below and you too might start liking computers and the internet =)

"Surfing" means explore the Web thro programs alike Internet Explore of Windows. You need a connexion thro a modem and the service of some provider, of course. Searching thro sites alike Yahoo or Google, opening different pages, etc. just is "surfing".
