30 Days of Thanks (Day 21)
I am thankful for the
INTERNET. There was a time when there was absolutely no way to communicate with anybody in another place or country without it costing a lot of money.
Or gathering information without going through books and encyclopedias. Now it's as easy as clicking a mouse! Being away from home, the internet plays a huge role in keeping in touch with family and friends. I am also thankful for the people I met through it. The internet is the medium that brought us together. For good or bad, the internet is truly an essential part of our lives. That being said, it should be used wisely.
