The advent of internet revolutionized the platform of communication and internet. Although the procedure of data communication which means transmitting of information from once place to the other predates the inception of first computers, it is the world wide web of internet which has gripped every sphere of human existence in the last twenty years. After the privatization of internet service providers in 1980’s it became immensely popular in the 1990’s and since then there has been a considerable growth in the number of subscribers.

There is no disregarding of the fact that Internet has had a huge impact on commerce and popular culture all across the world. There has been a tremendous dependence on instant communication through electronic mail (e-mail) and this has largely helped in the growth of business and commerce. It has also influenced the social lives of people which is marked by the growth of many social networking sites.

A popular term which is coined to define the internet users all around the world in Netizen or cybercitizen. They use many of the services of the internet like email, online chatting, instant messaging, and blog writing etc to stay connected. A lot of enlightenment is made available on the internet these days. It has instilled in people a sense of empowerment, wherein all illumination pertaining to any topic is available just a click away. Besides the entertainment and commerce aspect of the internet a lot of school and college students are benefitting from the educational information offered by the internet.

Internet can be very useful if one is required to dig out information about a particular city or town. If someone has just arrived into an unknown place it is obvious that he/she made be clueless about the place. We were facing the same situation last year. After being tired of living in a city for more than twenty years my family collectively reached a consensus to sell of our apartment in the city and move to a sub-urban place. I wanted my children to grow up with a lot of space to play around and at the same time we wanted more privacy and a better family life

After living in an apartment in a city for nearly twenty year we as a family collectively decided to buy a new home in a sub-urban town. The house was very spacious and perfect for our need yet it needed some renovation and change. I noticed that at night, the exterior of the house was completely dark which was not safe with young children in the house. I wanted the lights to be put at the entrance as well as the entire pathway. For this I needed to call professional electricians. I checked on the internet and found the number of Johnstown electricians.

At the same time I noticed that the washer of the toilet in the master bedroom were damaged and needed to be repaired. I again checked the information on the internet and called plumbers in Johnstown. They also agreed to come for regular maintenance and repair of all the plumbing work in the house.

The roof of the house was made of asphalt shingles. Usually such roof lasts for 15 to 20 years. Since, the house was very old I wanted the replacement of the shingles. I needed to contact professional roofers to do the job. I again went on the internet and got the details of Johnstown roofers. They immediately responded to my call and did a beautiful work and I was immensely pleased with their service.

One cannot undermine the many advantages of the internet. And the dot-com bubble is here to stay considering its growing popularity.
