Efficiency

I am amazed at how technology and the World Wide Web have changed our lives. We are now celebrating 20 years of Internet in South Africa.

I needed some particular files. I looked online, unsuccessfully. I asked for help on my Facebook page. A friend in New Zealand responded. I searched further. I contacted a firm in the US via email who recommended a software application. I went to that URL, ordered the application, paid via VISA, all on Friday 11 November. FedEx phoned me yesterday (Sunday) re paying VAT. I paid for it with Internet banking. The box was delivered this morning. Whole process took 3 days.

I am becoming used to this speed and efficiency!

Each day I become more aware of how much information is just a mouse click away. Amazing! Easy!
Whether it is a term or information on a topic - it is there! Even more exciting, it can be verified, and between various websites I gain a clear understanding and are able to write it in my own words - and I have learned!
