 How can we live without the Internet
 The importance of the Internet

3.  I would like to beggin by asking you a
question: Could you live without the Internet?
 I will try to prove you that the Internet is very
important for all of us but, we could live
without it.

4. First of all: Why the Internet is
important for us?

1. Jobs
The Internet is becoming more and more
essential to getting and keeping a job .
Increasingly, companies are moving their
recruitment efforts online, and larger
numbers of job-seekers each day are
putting their resumes onto career sites on
the Web. More and more frequently, those
without Internet access find themselves
taking what's left after the electronic job
matches already have been made.

5.  2. Business
Small business owned by African Americans are
multiplying rapidly in the U.S., and the Internet
is becoming an essential part of doing business.
More and more large companies and
government entities are turning to the Web to
choose contractors and suppliers, using
business-to-business, or B2B, sites. Some
economists have estimated that B2B e-
commerce purchases will reach $4.4 trillion by
2003, with $135 billion of that representing
minority procurement activity. Businesses not on
the 'Net will find it difficult to survive on a smaller
and smaller share of the pie.

6.  3. Education
The Internet is transforming education in the U.S.
America's public schools are working under a government
mandate to get wired to the Internet, and all schools --
public and private, K-12 and college -- are making use of it:
distributing and collecting homework by e-mail; holding
virtual classes in chat rooms; broadcasting lectures by
streaming video; and more. "Distance learning," using
information technology, is one of the fastest-growing
segments of adult education. Even many professional
tutors are taking their services online. And for prospective
college students, the Internet offers the best way to search
for scholarship dollars. Those without Internet access will
miss out on many educational opportunities.

7.  4. Communication
E-mail is by far the most inexpensive and
efficient way to communicate with persons
outside of local calling areas. Many Web
sites now offer e-mail service free of charge.
Internet Web sites, e-mail, and more
advanced technologies such as Internet
phone service and videoconferencing, are
incomparable tools to organize communities
and strengthen social bonds within and
between African-American communities.

8.  On the other hand, the Internet is not so
important…
 The fact that people survived for thousands
of years without the internet is reason to
believe that we could all survive without it.
However, there would be a major adjustment
period as most people have grown very
accustomed to using the internet regularly. It
would change life in a drastic way and would
probably be hard for younger people to
comprehend.

9.  The Internet is primarily used for
communication and entertainment. 30 years
ago people had to make an effort to send a
letter to communicate with their friends and
family. Forget 30 years, even today people
send letters and prefer that over sending
emails. It is absolutely evident that human
beings would be able to survive without
internet. The cavemen did it and so can you!

10. Conclusions
 I will let you conclude if you can live
without Internet or not.
 I can not, for me it is almost
indispensable
