I think the internet technology is amazing. The internet has opened up many opportunities for so many people who in the past had difficulty accessing services due to distance from physical places. Now they have it right at their finger tips.
I for one think its great, and its a fantasic tool for kids and their education as well.
I also encourage my children to access the study books we have at home, as well as the library, so they are aware that it is important to cross references their information through other sources.
Technological advances, will continue to be made and I think I'm very fortunate to live in this lifetime to witness so much technological change, not just in the IT field, but in many facets of life.
