January 27th - The internet

January 27th
I am grateful for the internet. Yep, that's right, the thing that you are on right now. I think most people these days live off the internet, as a form of keeping up with the news, socialising with friends, learning new things and procrastination.....don't pretend like you haven't done it before hahaha

I am grateful to have the internet to do research, whether it is for personal use or for educational purposes. It has helped me understand useful information about health, giving myself and others self developmental advice and understanding issues on certain topics, for example, helping me with understanding how I can better myself in my job. Without the internet, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to successfully undertake an on-line course which has helped me vastly in my field of work.

It has helped me keeping touch with friends. I will be honest, I mostly keep up to date with the friends I work with or see quite often socially via Facebook, but I have the opportunity to keep in better contact with family and friends interstate and overseas. I am also able to keep in contact with family and friends, near or distant, through emailing them.

I am grateful for the entertaining side to the internet as well as getting ideas and inspirations through video and music published by popular and unknown artists. As someone who like to show case my own talents and ideas, I have been able to virtually publish videos through the internet for friends, family and the public to see. The internet also allows me to re-view TV shows or moments which I had missed out on. I am able to watch videos from all around the world and either learn something from them or have a laugh along with them.

I am grateful for the internet and the opportunity to publish things such as these blogs. I am able to send messages of hope, love, peace and positivity to people I know, and to people I have never met, and possibly never will meet. But thanks to the internet, I am able to do such things. I am grateful that the internet has made life that much easier for everyone, but we must remember not to abuse it and use it for negative outcomes.

I am grateful to have this service, and to have it in my own home, ready to use when ever I need it. And I am grateful for all the entertainment it provides, for all the programs to keep in contact with people and for providing information to learn and grow as a person.
