Last year I worked for a web design company that provided graphics to online stores. It was the beginning of my huge obsession with buying on-line. I worked there for over 8 months and in that time I did most of the advertising on-line for the company, that is when I discovered the great stores that are available on the net. At first I tried to ignore them and move on with my work but was I was working I would eventually get a pop-up with an irresistible offer and I would click them. That's how it all began and now I am a slave to buying on-line.

A few years ago I discovered the world wide web and things have never been the same. Now I get to spend most of my days surfing and hanging out at a really funsocial network that I am a member of. Some people think that being able to stay home and surf the web is very boring, but me and millions of other people would agree otherwise.

The web designers for my on-line gaming home page know what catches your eye and keeps us coming back to play again and again. The ease of web access isnothing but genius as well. This design is always so easy to access the many different games available to play and for buying on-line as well. We receive emails that inform us of not only the games on sale items but also the new ones as they become available.

Two days ago,i went to an internet cafe for surfing.An hour later,two boys who were friends took their place near to my system.At first ,they were arguing very seriously about website designs.As time passed by,they switched their topic to on-line gaming.One of the boys seemed to be very good at on-line gaming as he was very much excited very often while the other was a bit tensed up.After some time,their tussle shook the cafe.I was really astonished to see them because they switched over their topic from on-line gaming to broadband.One of the boys argued that he has got enough experience with both dial-up and broadband connections and says broadband is best while the other says that wireless connections are best

Luisa, a new friend who was introduced by another friend is planning to put up a business like internet cafe. As a graduate of Marketing, he sure does know how to hold money and decide which is better. He asked for a hand to find a programmer or at least know anything about computers, networks and repair. Good thing I do not need to look for that person because I certainly do know someone who can do the job.

Hi, my name is Robo and I live in the world wide web. Thus, my complete name is www.robo.com. The dots distinguish my address, my first name and my common name in this world. This is such an exciting world that I live in. There are so many things to do that I do not even know how to sleep. I can hop from one address to another in the world wide web.

I enjoyed my current job working for 'Dawson & Scholes web developers' admittedly I wasn't anything glamorous, whilst the very intelligent, well trained people upstairs were glued to their PC getting on with their very important tasks of designing, producing and developing their important fractions of the world wide web I was glued to my very own PC completing all the administration tasks thatsuch a process needed. Not as important as those upstairs maybe, but well paid, very busy and something I loved.

I'd not known back then that joining a social network site that my colleagues had been talking about incessantlywas going to be a pleasant experience rather then the pointless waste of time I'd expected. I worked for a web production company that did everything from designing to developing web sites, I'd landed the job simply by chance when I'd posted my CV to a job site I'd been using looking for administration work, a few days later I had received an email inviting me to the interview where I eventually succeeded in getting an administration role in the company.

Published Friday, 17th Jul 17:22 BST

There've been times when I haven't had any internet access at home for really long periods of time and I've had to use an internet cafe instead. On hindsight, I wonder how I got through it. I enjoy my own company in the comfort of my own space, but I guess I'm adaptable when I need to be and never truly realise how I'm able to get through a situation 'til months afterwards. One good thing about having to use an internet cafe is that it forces you to use your time well. £1 an hour for internet access might not appear like much, but it can add up. Even if you used the net for an hour a day, we're talking £28-£31 a month which is over double what you'd pay for broadband access from home.

Simon says that Google is like his helpful shadow in the online world. There is not a day goes by when he doesn't use Google to search for something. Other search engines like Yahoo, Alta Vista and MSN seem to pale into the woodwork when compared with Google.Suzie, on the other hand, thinks that Google has an insatiable unhealthy monopoly on a lot of things. They have their hands in too many pies. Using less popular search engines like Alta Vista and Yahoo is her little way of getting back at Google. Not that google will ever feel the difference, but by doing that, she feels she's doing something. Can you imagine if she convinced 100 people a month not to use Google? Now that would be something. She could use a social network or three to spread the word about her 'No-Google' campaign. Mind you, it would have to be a social network that Google doesn't actually own as they seem to be taking over a lot of sites these days - she thinks they own the social network, MyBlogLog, so that's one not to join during her campaign.She might even set up a domain and a website or blog. There's Blogspot, but guess what, Google owns that too. She could always buy her own domain though, then set up a blog on Wordpress. Doesn't cost that much to buy a domain name and hosting for a year. Hmm, might be an idea. Something to look into.Maybe one day, she and a group of people could even demonstrate offline. Quietly, of course. It could be something as quiet but as powerful as wearing a t-shirt with a slogan on it or leaving leaflets on a seat when they get up or even wearing badges.Basically, it would be great if there was a redistribution, a reroute of some of Google's search engine power to other search engines. Suzie thinks that some of the above might be ways to do it. Her campaign might be successful or it might fall flat on its face, but sometimes it's better to do and fail than to do nothing at all. Doing nothing is the ultimate failure.

My Mother just got done booking a flight to Hawaii on line. It was so interesting to sit beside her and watch her. First of all, I had asked her what she was doing. She told me she was booking on-line. She explained that she was booking a flight and that was called booking on-line. Now you can also book hotel reservations on line, and also car rentals. There are endless possibilities of things that are booking on-line things.

It is great knowing it is so easy to be able to use the Internet access to go and download music or do some buying on-line. I just love to download music and free games. Sometimes I like to do a bit of buying on-line and take advantage of my internet access. Buying on-line is in the long run, an essential cheaper way to buy goods and services than shopping in real life because you can use your Internet access to find discounts which is great. I also like to download pod casts and TV shows and films from programs like itunes. My friend is very similar to me. They love to do everything on the Internet, from downloading games to buying music to shopping for their groceries. It seems that the Internet is just an awesome tool that is accessible to everybody, young and old.

Sometimes you just have to go with what feels right. Today the program to reroute the traffic flow isn't working like we thought it would. Watching the back up that will change the network of lights should be moving like a dance. We don’t see a way clear to allow the network to shuffle along at such anerratic pace. The man who created this program is not available today and I have been waiting on an email to let us know when he will arrive here to help us get this backup program back on track. The current of traffic right now is great, we want to keep it that way when the change happens.

You can almost find all stuff, all the answers to your questions and all the person you want to find all over the world in information highway. It is a helpful tool to do things such as buying on-line, dating on-line, banking on-line and any other things you want to do on-line. Information highway also known as The web, the internet, the world wide web is a technology made for us to be more lazy, is it? Or is it a technology to make us more productive? In my own humble opinion, information highway is made for both..Hmmm, please put down your raised eyebrows haha,this is just my own say with this development. Let me elaborate and explain further, it makes us more lazy in the sense that it will just encourage us to confine ourselves at home, while doing online jobs, while doing shopping through buying on-line, thus also affecting our social lives as we wont be able to bond with colleagues during lunch breaks or coffee breaks. We cannot do shopping with friends or with mom or with siblings. See? It makes us lazy to go out..Our new friend will be our internet explorer. It helps us be connected to the world. Instead of going out with friends, we just click our internet explorer and viola! Social life haha. Open facebook, friendster, my space..etc etc..Also, one click of internet explorer will bring you to a world of all your shopping needs, at the comfort of your own home. On the other side, it makes us productive in the sense that a simple work of art would be flourished into a real and magestic masterpiece through the help of it. Thus, it will inspire us to become more inclined and interested in what we do as it helps us enhance them. Selling and buying on-line would also amplify our productivity in this areas as well. Instead of going to the mall to buy and shop for your need or want, then carrying it home yourself and being stuck in a traffic jam, reroute on your way home will lose a lot of time and unproductivity is seen.

I regularly check my emails. One out of 10 messages that I recieve on my inbox usually are spam emails, also some invitations to join on-line investing which sometimes are scams. Grrrrr! I really hate it when people tend to fool others. As if they dont have a heart to feel for those whom they deceived and misled. Well hope they do get their own karma is time. And the folks who have been deluded will thrive and prosper. While sorting my emails, I saw one enticing email regarding on-line investing. As I looked into it, it says that an internet security bundle also comes with it. So I though maybe I should give it a shot.

While I was surfing at home, my internet connection suddenly slowed down, it looks like more than ten computers are doing download all at the same time! I checked my network by going to the interface of my modem and I found out only 3 computers sharing my internet connection. I went to speed.com website, a site wherein you can check how fast is your download and upload speed but I passed the test. Hmmm could something be wrong in my pc? Oh my, maybe while surfing, my pc got infected by malicious things in the net! I remember one time, I was surfing then I got a pop-up and I accidentally clicked on it and viola, re routed to another site! I do believe that is the time I acquired these malevolent stuff! Just to make sure, I called my internet connection service provider to verify if there are some issues with my dsl line, luckily there was none.

Joe used his social network regularly on his pc to stay connected with his friends. He found the social network he uses by hearing about it from lots of his friends. It seemed that having a social network was the big buzz on the Internet and a great way to find new friends on the pc so Joe decided he may as well go on his pc and start social networking. Whilst on his social network, Joe decided to use his email address to find friends who was on his email list that he not yet had as a friend on his social network. Joe sent an email to many on-line friends hoping they would accept his invitation and join his network. Joe was delighted when some of his friends decided to join his network. He became greater friends with some of them because some people on his email list, had not really spoke to Joe properly anymore. On his social network, Joe began to send more messages to friends, share pictures and play games. Joe loved it. Joe absolutely loved the idea of a social network and it became his addiction. Whilst on his social network one day, Joe saw a very attractive advert which was advertising a re route company. At first, Joe resisted the temptation of the attractive advert and ignored it, but as Joe used his social network more and more frequently, he began to notice the advert more and more and it came to a stage where he decided he could not ignore the advert any longer. Joe clicked the advert and he was directed to a website which gave information about re route. Whilst browsing this new informative site, Joe stumbled across another advert which was offering a free download to download a program where you could search and play any music you wanted, anytime, for free. Joe knew he loved music so decided to download the program. Joe was delighted. He could even share music play lists and because he knew he shared similar music interests to his friends. He decided to share music play lists with people he had made friends with on his social network.

Typing on my computer, I glared at my office-mate, Gill Bates. Recently, our company in internet advertising in the world wide web is going well. Tchah, thanks to the guy next to me. Silently fuming, I scowled as he sat on our joint desk, sitting on it as though it was a throne. A bunch of people (mostly women) were huddled around the chair where his feet rested. All looking at him as though he's like some bloody hero.
