-Advancement in the internet leads to integration between real world and cyber world in daily life, for example

My father usually doesn’t have time to go to bank. However, he can move a lot of money in his office through the internet. This is not only my father’s story, but of many people. Even five or six years ago, it was even impossible to imagine for a person to do their work without going somewhere. But, today, we can do our tasks, as sitting in front of a computer.

The first example is on-line banking. Of course, it is the most visible result of how internet has changed our lives directly. People don’t go to banks as many times as they used to go before. The reason is many of the tasks have no need to be done at bank. We can do it at the home. For example, back in US, I never went to the bank to check my balance. But I used website instead. Only time I needed to go to the bank was when I wanted to withdraw some money. In this regard, it may be true internet made our homes a bank.

Next, internet allows us to shop without going to market. In the past, people always needed to go somewhere to buy what they need. Although people do go some places for shopping, it also became possible to shop at home. Thus, people sometimes choose to shop through the internet as they are listening to music from their computer. “Ebay” may be a good example of this. Thousands of millions of people log on to the website and try to buy and sell their product. They don’t need to meet each other to buy something, but only need to turn on the computer and get on the internet. These days, the meaning of shopping becomes impossible to simply say going to a shop anymore.

Many things were changed by emergence of internet, and there will be more changes. But, though little inconvenience, it is also important to keep our traditional ways to deal with many tasks because those might remind us that we are living in real world. I hope we properly balance the both aspects so that any trouble will occur.
