How has the Internet changed? Why is it so popular?

Unless you have been living under a rock, I am sure that you have noticed that the Internet has changed since the old days of a “Dial-Up-Only” Internet. The Internet has morphed into something unimaginably huge and important and without which, many of the everyday things would not exist.

Everything from cell phones to television, even our home telephones can now be connected and used via the Internet at drastic savings. Unless you live in the sticks like me, where the telephone company still has a monopoly, you can get a service like Vonage for $24.95, for unlimited everything, which beats the heck out of the $90 I pay for a regular phone.  We can also save by paying our bills online, in fact, it is possible to save enough on postage to cover some of the cost of your ISP (Internet Service Provider). I know that when I check my snail mail, about 99.9% is trash, so, I only check it once a month, unless I am waiting on a package or something that I ordered online. Yes, the Internet provides plenty of junk mail of its own, known as SPAM, but it doesn’t fill up your trash can, you simply delete it!

Now, with the advances in wireless technologies,  not to mention all of the fun gadgets that go with it, the Internet has gotten even more popular, even movies and music are available, right on your cell phone, or iPod! I wonder, how did we ever get along without the Internet before?
