The Internet Promotes Worldwide Business Growth
Today, businesses grow like crazy. Businesses are constantly competing to beat each other's prices and to carry the best product. One major factor in business publicity is to target customers. Stores and companies have customers who live in the general area and visitors who might also like to purchase their products. In order for the company to maximize their income, they must present an easily accessible product line. The Internet is an efficient way to reach out to new customers who are not in the store's proximity. The Internet is the only place where people all over the world can communicate while looking at the object that they are discussing, comparing prices and checking ratings on items. The article entitled Internet Takes Ancient Craft Global, written by R Daniel Foster, is an article about the Internet's ability to accelerate business progress. Mr. Frimpong, a royal African wood carver from the city of Ghana in West Africa, sells his ancient woodcarvings on the Internet because of the product's international demand. He uses the Internet to expand his business to the people who are interested in buying his products that shows a high degree of craftsmanship. Mr. Frimpong exemplifies Ghana's need to be connected to the Internet. On the continent of Africa, 54 countries have Internet servers: a number that has significantly increased over the past eleven years.
Only 500,000 African people have access to the Internet and there are just 100,000 telephones shared between 19 million people. In order to get online, the people have to first borrow a computer, and then find an available line to which they can link the modem (Foster 8). Even now, numerous people in Africa lack access to the Internet. The Internet is a necessity that no one should be without. Frimpong realizes that his customers are mainly US citizens, and he decided to put his business online after a customer mentioned the idea. 'Frimpong recalls the day a women entered his Kumasi shop, bought three masks, and mentioned the possibility of selling through the Internet. (Foster 7)' Frimpong sells his merchandise through Novica.com. The Internet is the greatest asset to his company because it has tripled his income, and now he has the ability to carry a staff of fifteen employees to help satisfy the demand for the carvings. The Heart of the Well written by Rheingold is similar to the article about Frimpong's business taking off because they both used it as an informational source.

Many people believe violence in video games result in violent outbreaks and unhealthy behavior in real world. Since the first Nineteen Eighties, violence in video games became a part of a political issue leading advocates to create theories that these styles of games are corrupting society. Studies have been created to seek out if there's a link between violent video games and violent behavior. Are these video games shaping today’s generation of youths to be violent? I believe that there's no correlation between violence in video games and violence in our society. I think this first of all, improves a large form of general skills, secondly, there are several alternative factors that contribute into creating society violent and finally, crime rates decrease because the quality of those forms of games increase.
Shaken Baby Syndrome SBS is also known as Abusive head trauma is caused by a quiet number of reasons such as a blow to the head, dropping, throwing and violently shaking a child.

This syndrome causes the brain of the child to swell, internal bleeding, detachment of the retina which may led to blindness at an early stage, mental retardation, and death. According to the Center for Disease control (CDC) Shaken Baby Syndrome is brutal physical child abuse caused by viciously shaking a child by the shoulders, arms and legs.

Ten years ago, the Internet as we know it hit screens. It was 1995 when Explorer and Netscape emerged as the leading browsers for Internet users.

The Intergovernmental panel on climate change, or IPCC, meets every few years to go over what has been learned and assess the information. So far they have learned that there are many gases that contribute to the problem. The main contributors are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.
Business today is inextricably intertwined with technology, from the smallest home office, to a multinational corporation with multiple monolithic legacy application. It is impossible to be in business today without confronting the issues of technology. The way we do business today is different than 30 years ago. Technology has evolved around the areas of telecommunication, travel, stock market, shipping even around our daily lives.

One of the fundamental factors that has affected the process of economic globalization is the improvements in the technology of transportation and communications. This has reduced the costs of transporting goods, services, and factors of production and of communicating economically useful knowledge and technology. There is no doubt that advances in information and communications technology are the most important technological advances of the past quarter century (Mussa, 2000). By far, the most important and business altering advancement is the internet. There is evidence everywhere that the internet has greatly affected international trade. The internet has opened up the world, and brought it right into everyone's home and business. In addition, technology and the internet have greatly reduced the costs of doing business. Even the smallest operation can now go global via the internet at almost no cost. However, there are still some problems that face these e-commerce activities. These problems are shot-term challenges and can be met. The key issues center around two areas:
The editorial does not accurately depict the authors argument because of the lack of ethos. The author seems untrustworthy therefore the supporting evidence is lost in the uncertainty.
The Internet has become a key ingredient of strenuous and busy lifestyle. ‘Internet’ has become the central-hub for communication, explorations, connecting with people or for official purposes. Resultantly, Internet growth has led to a plethora of new developments, such as decreased margins for companies as consumers turn more and more to the internet to buy goods and demand the best prices.
The existence of many sophisticated computer systems and various innovations in the Computer Age justifies the need for new ways of sales in society. The need for share of information in a so called ‘global network’ and man’s desire to communicate from long distances called for the birth of the World Wide Web (formerly known as ARPANET). With the advent of the internet, many of the mundane tasks and businesses became feasible. Things like buying and selling can now be done online. Consumers no longer need to move from their place. A few clicks from their home would suffice enough to do the job. Not only the Internet facilitate purchasing, but it also provide s distance education. Students can earn a degree by taking an online education by means of the Internet.
