You and the Internet
Have you heard all about the internet? Have you heard all about the wonderfull places you can go to just by clicking a button on your computer screen? Wouldn't it be wonderfull if that were really true? A lot of exaggerations have been made about the internet. But for the money there's nothing like it on Earth.
The internet is no electronic transportation device. The internet is a multinational packet switched computer network. For those of you who aren't familiar with the "packet switched network" I will explain. A data transmission can be compared to a freight train. Each boxcar is numbered. The "network" can be compared to a railroad track network with switch yards referred to as "nodes." Prior to 1970 the only way to get a freight train from, say, Los Angeles to Boston was to reserve the entire distance of track for this single train. With a packet switched network each boxcar is no longer attached to a train. With it's assigned number each boxcar or packet could navigate whichever track was available through whichever switch yard it found all the way to the destination. As each boxcar arrives at the destination the final switchyard must reassemble the freight train in sequential order and send the data to the end user.

What is done to information to send it from one location to another on the Internet? It is broken into packets that travel across the internet and the packets take the most avaiable and efficient path and eventually all come together where they are suppose to be.
The Lottery is an amazing work of fiction not only because of its extraordinary twist on the concept of tradition, but for its classic irony and impeccable use of symbolism. The Lottery questions whether or not tradition should be respected for what it is or evolve to suit new generations. When asked the purpose of writing The Lottery, Shirley Jackson responded that the story was "to shock the story's readers with a graphic demonstration of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives." (237) Jackson was a true visionary as a female author who created a thought provoking and alarming story to readers in a time when tradition was still heavily weighted in society.
...e foot, asks the athlete exactly what happened and is informed that there was a ‘snapping’ noise heard at the time of injury. Due to swelling it would be difficult to palpate the joint line if the ankle, but there is pain on palpation. The therapist will direct the athlete to perform active movements of the ankle; the movements were not produced by the athlete due to the amount of pain. The next step is to get the athlete off of the pitch safely. Due to the lack of active movement there will be hesitation to apply full pressure on the ankle and the unusual positioning it would be best for the therapist to splint the ankle with a SAM splint and then remove from the pitch according to the EAP(see appendix 1&4) (Wilkerson, A.J. etal (2010).

Greetings, and thank you for reading this letter. Pollution is something that is gradually destroying our planet. It is responsible for about 6.7% of deaths worldwide. There are many forms of pollution, including; hazardous spills in important bodies of water, household dumping and littering, the release of greenhouse gasses, and most importantly, smog. Smog is extremely harmful for humans to breathe, along with animals and nature. This poisonous gas is a heavy combination of fog or haze with smoke and other atmospheric pollutants. The main contribution of smog is factories and powerplants. This letter will be addressing the result of smog and pollution and what your corporation can do to help reduce it.
To a first time reader, Shirley Jackson's “The Lottery” seems simply as a curious tale with a shocking ending. After repetitive reading of Jackson's tale, it is clear that each sentence is written with a unique purpose often using symbolism. Her use of symbols not only foreshadow its surprise and disturbing ending but allows the reader to evaluate the community's pervert traditional rituals. She may be commenting on the season of the year and the grass being “richly green” or the toying with the meanings of the character's names but each statement applies to the meaning and lesson behind her story.

PURPOSE: To persuade my audience that we must take action now to control air pollution
The internet as we all know is probably the most useful resource known to man in this day of age. Not only is the internet easy to access its easy to use. Nearly everyone owns a computer and nearly all of which have access to the internet. But isn't that a good thing? Millions of people having the ability to access and share all the information anybody could ever want.
The internet is a vast network of computers that connects many of the world’s businesses, institutions, and individuals. It allows millions of people throughout the world to send and receive messages to each other, share information, and play games (Naughton 4). It was initially designed to aid the government and help people expand academically, but it is now becoming more commercialized and used in ways that it was not made for.
In our society, there has been a revolution which competes that of the industrial revolution. It is called technological revolution. At the top of the technological revolution is what we call, the Internet. In the following report we will be discussing about what the internet is about in general and how it might be in the future, why it is necessary in our everyday lives, and why has it become so important to everyone (i.e. companies, individuals ).
Have you ever wondered how it would be like 40 or more years from now? Having to walk out of your home with an air mask on, just because it is extremely polluted outside to even be able to breathe? Our environment has been changing so much in the past years, and this continues to be a problem that everyone ignores. Pollution is serious matter and it should be a priority to take action for this cause. Not only for ourselves but for the next and upcoming generations. People ignore the fact that pollution even exist. According to my studies, right now pollution has increased tremendously that our kid’s children have a high chance of dealing with more pollution than what we are dealing with now. The Government should implement new laws to control the amount of pollution companies release by taxing the companies, or encourage American citizens to go green, and use natural solar and energy equipment. Candidates who support these laws will gain greater support during elections.
The internet has come along way since its birth back in 1969, from its start as a government network to the everyday life; it has proven to be one of the greatest inventions ever discovered. It has helped many people with an array of task ranging from everyday government usage, and personal web pages to the ever so expanding horizons of technology still being produced today. Between the good and the bad, the internet has improved the way of life, and will continue to improve throughout time.
