It is well known that internet is a window for people to see this world. As somebody once said it is a thread to connect the world. Furthermore, it can offer various work opportunity for many people. But unfortunately, not everyone know it well. For some elderly people, they know less about them and most of them think it is only a computer or a machine. When some people ask me where I work, I tell them I work online, but they have no response for it and still ask me the same question which make me confused. I wonder who has a good idea to interpret it for other people.

The Internet has many aspects to it, but networking has because such a huge thing lately because it's so great being able to keep in touch with others without having to pick up the phone or even send an email anymore. Younger people are used to these ways of communicating over the Internet whereas elderly people see it as something new they would have to learn. I'm kind of in the middle so I've known how to use the Internet, but also so many new things have come out that sometimes it's hard to keep up with everything! Overall, I think it's great that we have Internet and that new things are coming out all the time to expand our horizons on the Internet. I think all the advancements that are being made can only bring greater inventions!

I think I have thousand words to interpret internet, but most of the time I hardly know where to start. I don't know something we should tell them while something we don't need to tell them, if we tell them in a wrong way will lead to them confuse again. Maybe after I making friends with them then I can tell them in a proper way. Thanks for your message anyway.
