The internet has taken modern civilisation forward in leaps and bounds, we only have to look back 15 years and the concept of a world wide web was little more than a small group of computers joined together by 56kBs telephone lines.

I can't stand pop-up windows. I consider them to be the spawn of the devil. I mean, not all of them are irritating, of course. But a lot of them are. Especially the utterly meaningless ones with the smiley faces/icons splattered over them. What is the bloody point of them? They're flashy, irritating and pointless, if you ask me. And anyone that thinks they're not needs to get out more often. Really.Whoever sat down one day and thought it would be cute to design an endless amount of those little pop-up incessants really missed the point of webdesign. It's meant to be a user-friendly experience when one logs onto their computer and hops on the internet, not a case of "let's play Dodge the Pop-ups", like an extremely extreeeemely poor version of Space Invaders.My computer, Delilah, doesn't like pop-ups, so please don't get her goat, or you'll be sorry you ever used a Computer. Grrrr.

Do any of you know what a virus is? The first thing that comes to my mind isa flu bug that would hit your body, or a cold virus. That is the first thing I think of. Well, there is another kind of virus also. It has to do with a computer. Yes, there is such a thing as a computer virus.

I have been asked this question a few times since the generation of computers have come into the decade. Do I do on-line banking. Yes, I have done on-line banking for about 4 years now. The reason I like on-line banking is cause some days you just don't feel like getting out of bed to pay bills. I know some places have started charging a fee to pay a bill like in a store. Why pay the fee, if you can do On-line Banking.

I had an interesting instant message the other day. The person I got it from I had never talked to before and they had never been on my instant messaging program as a contact that I could remember. I went into the gaming network I play in regularly and entered the name in the search engine for this person and there was nobody by that id found. I asked a couple of my friends that were online at the time and they had never heard of them before either. I kept asking them who they were and I had no reply from them. What was curious was they had sent me a file share request and the extension was a jpeg. I didn’t accept it. I know it’s very easy to get a virus, accepting a file and especially a jpeg file from someone you don’t know. Finally,I just closed and tried to forget about it. I thought of another network I frequent, it's a different game site but has a really great Web Design, and ran this identification in its Search Engine. Again, no one by that name was found. The next day I was minding my own business when a friend of mine who I hadn't talked to for a long time on my instant messaging program sent out a group message telling everyone not to open any messages sent out to us by his id. That he had clicked on a file share request, nowfriends were getting website pop ups like crazy. He had sent out to all on his list a virus. I didn't reply to him, I just closed his window and deleted his id from my instant messaging program. I had saved the name that I had received with a suspicious URL,what I suspected was the same thing as David had just messaged me, about. I began to go through another several search engine trying to find out anything I could about this person. I finally did find out that this person was a child and that he had got into one of my contacts computers the day before, while she was at work. The Network I found him through was one I don't use often. He must have found out us chatting and played games in there. He is 14 and a real wizard on the computer. Luckily this was not the first time he had been caught doing this and he was stopped once again because of his reputation. Once she found out what had happened to her contacts; she knew what had happened and who had done it.

My sons love to play this gaming console through the Internet. Surfing the Internetthey find players to join them and play as a team on the PC. I went into one of their PC the other day to check out the web design for the game console and all of these games are too real. I caught myself wondering how in the world they managed to make such a realistic looking landscape. They all use wifi so they are wireless. I asked one of them once why they have such a good time on the PC, and found out that they chat together through headsets while they play, and it doesn’t matter where each of them are. They use wifi so there is no hassle of wiring either. I decided to sit in on one of their games and was amazed at how much they enjoy this form of play. Now, we’re talking about grown-ups here, not children.

Spending time On-line is my favourite way to relax, and I particularly enjoy visiting various web forums. I have been a moderator on a several forums (although not forseveral years)and the first forum I was allowed to become a moderator of was one that was run by a friend of mine. This involved making sure discussions stayed on topic, and that no illegal/inappropriate content found its way onto the forum. It is sometimes hard to be a Moderator on a busy forum as there is lots of room for good natured debate to get out of hand and turn to insults.

Sara and Jerry where asking around for anyone who had information on an online forum for learning how to play the guitar. They both had a musical background but neither of them knew how toplay the guitar. I had heard of a website that offered lessons by way of selling media such as DVDs and books, an “E” book for a small fee for download. Never had I heard of a forum for such as this. Well. Until I caught up with them the following weekend and found out, yes there is. Sara told us, there are many forums online that do help beginners, as well as others with learning to play the guitar. I wondered what else was available besides on-line shopping that was so helpful. Free to download, help with just about anything you could want to learn, is available on the internet. It's just a matter of finding it pointing and clicking, then to save to a special place you can find it later and click download.

Scott went to college to learn how to get into web design while he was at college he was a server in a local cafe, when he wasn't being a server at the cafe he liked nothing more than to go down the beach and do some Surfing, living near the beach Scott had grown up surfing and most of his buddies did surfing too, but there was a side to Scott that wasn't like the rest of his buddies. He was really into computers when he got home from his server job he was either busy researching web design or having fun playing on a on-line gaming site, he was a member of one particular site and it was a good place to meet other people.

Debra was working as a programmer for a company that develops application software. We were on-line one night and I asked her about her work. She told me it was complicated to explain. Debra told me "I guess, in layman’s terms, you could say. I make sure a website when visit, brings up advertising for that visitor. In other words, say Laurie last shopped for software in the security industry. The application that I set up for that web design or queue will read what kind of shopping she has done in the past and will go out and bring an advertisement into that website of a security product that she might buy."

I log on every morning and turn on my messenger. The internet is constantly on in our home. The net is a part of everyday life here in the United States. Most Wednesdays I am working here at home in the evening catching up on projects for work and proof reading school homework for our 4 children. I will have my laptop on and printing out the order schedule for the upcoming week. This task is made so simple by my employer’s web design. At the end of the process it’s just a matter of hitting save/naming it and sending as attachment in an email then clicking send to all. The net is not only a quick way to access work related tasks. I can scan one child’s book report while another is on the Internet on our network using a different computer. The children wouldn't know how to act if they couldn't spell and grammar check their work.For extra credit he’s' doing research for another assignment.He’s' trying for extra credit for the end of the semester grade. When the assignment he is working on is complete; I will do the same for him. While he is busy doing that tonight, our daughter is getting ready to go on a field trip and is downloading the information off of the internet from her school. Our home page is setup with a calendar for everyone in the family to keep our schedules right at hand. I should never have a problem getting the youngerchildren where they need to be for school or friends with the schedule right at my finger tips every day. If it's not on the schedule they know it isn't something we have planned for them to do. The net is always there to get a job done fast. Just the other day I was talking to a girl friend in India about how the net as affected her working environment. She was explaining to me about the teenager messengers her work had and how they used to run like crazy all over the plant. Now just to get things picked up and movedinside the building is enough for them to do.A messenger program is so much more efficient. It’s faster to use Messenger program right on their net.

Networking parents and the school website for school projects and/or summer vacations have been many and very helpful this year. We all try to contribute our time and ideas to our children and their futures. Networking has become a common practice in most of our homes.

One of the most popular ways to promote your business is advertising on-line, most people now have computers and use the Internet and instead of looking in the phone book they will general search for types of services or local amenities with the help of advertising on-line instead of searching through books although word of mouth is still a popular way of getting business.
