There are many conveniences that are taken for granted today because they have become indispensable conveniences to present day life. At the same time there are many individuals belonging to the older generation that continue the  traditional old ways because they refuse to adopt to changes.

This comes about because there are many of today’s conveniences that are relatively new if we were to take anything that has been developed in the last 100 years as being modern in comparison to history. The true assessment of the benefits of these modern invention rests with the elders who experienced the past and are alive now to enjoy the benefits of the new.

Computers, the internet, the World Wide Web, cellphones etc. are all relatively modern inventions that have changed our world and are blazing the path into the future. The study of Information Technology as a discipline is relatively new and the concepts are still changing rapidly. In its infancy some individuals caught on to the fact that Information Technology was the way forward into the future and immediately jumped on board. There were some persons that only came on board when forced by circumstances and there are those who refuse to learn Information Technology.

Although the inventions are relatively new they have been around long enough to be spawning a second generation. The first generation saw the inventions, the second generation applied the inventions and the third generation are now asking how the previous generations existed without these inventions and conveniences.

There may the possibility of a down side to the modern inventions but who cares, these are the things that will be guiding us into the future.

There was a time when I was told life make no provisions to return to the past. Also I was told that that nothing from my past could do me harm. Whatever happens to me will be in the future. I willingly confess that I was no angel in my twenties but until recently there was nothing for me to fear. The advances in technology may one day cause my past to catch up with me. The present generation leave evidences at every turn.

I was late in getting on the technology band wagon and even now the things that are juicy and exciting I find to be boring. This is especially as it pertain to making use of some modern inventions and social media. Why individual find it necessary to record and leave traces of everything that they do is beyond me especially as this include recording and posting their most intimate and private moments. Some are stored in cyberspace.

The internet and World Wide Web are good and exciting. They give the chance to move from a circle of family and friends to engaging a global audience. However, I believe that most persons are comparable to me in that I am very forgetful. The things posted on the internet I believe does not get erased but remain for those when has the time and know how to find. 

It baffles me as to why some persons choose to post somethings for a global audience. Yes I agree that a person has the freedom to be and to do as one pleases but life and circumstances changes so why not be selective in what we share with a global audience. The problem is not the audience but the possibility that at a later date and time we encounter earlier posts and ask was I really that stupid. 

One of the benefits of the internet is meeting persons online. When I meet someone new online I simply look up their social media pages because the heights of vanity demands that we share. It is most fascinating the things that are posted on social media and for a global audience. 

Whether we like it or not there are noble things in life and there are the things that are base. I find that some individuals choose to hide behind false name and cannot show their photographs. Others are confident and bold in the things that are posted.

There are options as to who we allow to see our posts and most individual chose to make their posts global. this allows for the widest possible audience. This being the case it is not wise to display one's lack of taste or show how little is cared about those who will see or read.

Presently the internet provide the greatest opportunity to engage a global audience so take the opportunity to showcase your best.
