The internet is a place that has interconnected the whole world and making it a global village. Everyone has started to upload their work to share it with the others available. This availability of information is vast and people are coming up with newer, better information to share and spread with others.

As you have probably read earlier, people have made the internet a place where they can provide more services in a short time. These range from online classes to personal shoppers to anything else. People also have provided a wide range of services from, law assignment writing services to ‘writing your CV’, all you have to do is guide them according to your satisfaction level.

A couple of decades back, when the internet was something new in trend, people didn’t see it as a much reliable source. They put their confidence and trust in the local libraries and do their research themselves. They weren’t provided with as many options and services available to us and hence hesitated with its reliability. Nowadays it comes as a shock to a person if he is unable to find the answer of something online. It seems impossible for something to not be available online because everything is. 

THE CONFUSION ASSOCIATED WITH USING THE INTERNET FOR ASSIGNMENTS

The internet is a field of vision and knowledge that is not restricted with any type of limits or boundaries, about who can and who cannot share their work or experience online. The person browsing is easily confused when he sees the number of results for any search term that he browsed. He is unable to pinpoint the information that is relevant to his work. Most of the students write an assignment that is completely irrelevant and off topic because they try to find shortcuts for homework that usually backfires on them. The fact that students do not try to make an original manuscript and instead of using the internet for help, use it too completely to do homework. Teachers are annoyed by this habit of the newer generation, so they have advised students to go through their writings a matter of three times and also check it for plagiarism so that their work is relevant and original. 

This problem is not only with the students and their assignment, but it is also almost with everything. People when trying out new recipes, they are shown a thousand ways and they do not know which one will be the one that will work out. The same is with any other type of thing that you would browse online. An example of this would be the ‘5-minute hacks’ they do not always give the correct or desired result, some also go wrong. This puts the person in more confusion when he started browsing.

HOW MUCH THE INTERNET HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES

People have become so engrossed with what is happening in the online world and so careless about what is happening around them, that to become popular all you need is to be successful in the virtual world and you will be a participant of the real world marathon. There are so many services provided to the people so that they do not seek what is outside their comfort level. Some examples are listed below:

• Online grocery shopping (Amazon / Wal-Mart)

People can download this app in their phones and then choose and have whatever ingredients they need, delivered at their doorstep. They can use the e-pay option or cash on delivery option.

• Online taxi services (Uber/Careem)

People can now download such apps into their phones and have whatever type of motor vehicle they need, have arrived at their doorstep. They can pay online or buy packages that allow them to only pay once a month.

• Online bookings for flights, buses, cinema, etc

People can now go online on the pages of companies and buy tickets to flights, buses or whichever movie that they want. They can pay online with credit or debit cards.

• Online shopping

Many brands have launched their own online websites and social media pages that allow their customers to sit at home and browse and look through their launches. They can even buy them online without going to the store.

The Internet has introduced to the world, how easy life actually is if you only know what to do.
