Say for example, I had a sore throat yesterday, and I googled how I could get rid of it. I was doing a case write-up the other day, and I searched the Internet about case-related info. I can so easily send any documents to anyone with the help of e-mail attachments without fiddling with the fax machine and mail. Everything is within our finger-tips. I bet if people from the 18th century time-travel to 2010, they will be shocked.
It was on the Helsinki Times last week that "by year-end 2015, all residents in Finland will be equipped with high-speed internet connections". This was the target set by the Finnish communications ministry. The plan was to offer Finland residents a minimum of 100 megabytes per second by the end of 2015 such that users will be able to expand at-home businesses and other small businesses. I think it is quite brilliant that they are doing this!
I have this theory that with the Internet, our lifestyles can be quite different than the lifestyles that our parents lead. There is this blogger/writer/entrepreneur called Tim Ferrriss , who wrote a book called "The 4-hour workweek". It says that you don't really need to stay on your desk from 9 am to 6 pm (or not more), because of something called the automation. Money is not generated by the period of time that you work, but generated also when you are not working. Say a blog, you just have to update it, then if you get enough traffic, and googleads pays you, then you are generating income even when you are not working at all. Hm.. I think I should do the same with my blog.
Ah... the power of Internet. Let me devise a lifestyle that can fully make use of it!
