I remember when I was in elementary school. I had no idea what the Internet was. We did take computer science classes and we had different lessons to learn about computers and the internet, but it never occurred to me that there were a lot of things you could find on the internet. Once I got out of elementary school, I suddenly found that I just needed the Internet, and I didn\’t have it at home, and I didn\’t even have a proper computer. It was definitely very bad for me because a lot of the kids in our class were looking things up on the internet and I was always having to look things up in books.
It made me nervous and bad because I wasn\’t keeping up with the times and the internet and computer were just needed. But I didn\’t have one, so I was sad and I felt sorry for myself. In class I kept saying that I had a computer but that I just liked to look things up in books, which wasn\’t so true. But I can say that now because I\’m out of elementary school, I\’m out of high school, but I can tell you that I actually missed the internet terribly for that time because I felt like I was rather deficient. Once I was in high school, I talked my mom into it terribly and she finally bought a computer so we could have internet because I needed to find different papers and things for school. It wasn\’t just about being in elementary school anymore.
I was in high school and there were different conditions, different knowledge again, and since I was just studying economics, I needed a computer. I had to learn how to write with all ten hands, and for that I needed a computer. I couldn\’t have done without it and I wouldn\’t have had these great basics that are needed for an economics major. I wanted to be the best and I can tell you that the computer, because I had it at home afterwards, taught me a lot more things and I had more insight. So I definitely think the internet is the right choice and everyone should have it at home already, even kids in elementary school.
