Human knowledge is growing exponentially. The great paradox of time is that the more we want to learn, the less time we have to learn. So we are faced with a challenge of how to keep up to speed on everything we must know. With knowledge becoming expansive, demand for learning and diversity in what individuals must be aware of is increasing. Information travels so fast in today’s day and age that the only way to be updated about the current information is by allowing and accepting the growth and changes in Internet. For instance, there has been a constant change and progress in the web browsers from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome as depicted in the pictures below which has allowed effective communication and globalization.
This progress in the field of Internet has brought the world closer creating a global village thereby also allowing the world’s economy to become a "single interdependent system". This suggests that we can not only share information quickly and efficiently but also reduce cultural, geographic and linguistic boundaries. “Endless contact with the world has become a day to day reality. What we feel is more important than what we think”. Once we communicate with people from different backgrounds and culture we get to feel and understand their perspectives and approach to life before thinking,analyzing and accepting or discarding it. People are constantly adapting themselves to the new inventions ,one of them being the latest gadget- TeleTouch which lets you touch and control everything from far. It is like a universal remote control which helps you interact with your appliances from far. We are constantly MAKING A DIFFERENCE(MAD) by adapting to new means of technology and understanding its technical terms. It is important to do so , even if one is not interested in technology or who aren't tech-savvy , there should be a willingness to make an effort by reading, learning and experiencing the growth of the Internet and Technology over time as Mahatma Gandhi has said " Be the change you want to see in this world"
