Мне нравится пользоваться интернетом. В его просторах я имею любимые страницы, там можно посмотреть интересное видео, фильм, послушать радио, и даже смотреть ТВ программы. Конечно, я не против и просмотра телевизора, но это можно сделать и из интернета. Также, в интернете содержится много нужной и полезной информации, можно поиграть в любимые игры, а также смотреть различные ток-шоу и игровые шоу. В интернете я общаюсь и завожу новых друзей, переписываясь с разными интересными людьми. Я считаю, что интернет - это очень нужная и полезная вещь, созданная человечеством.

Все мы пользуемся Интернетом. Во всяком случае, те, кто читает сейчас этот журнал. Сколько возможностей открыло и продолжает открывать данное изобретение! А ведь не так давно мы и слыхом не слыхивали о том, что музыку, фильмы, рефераты, и прочие данные можно будет доставать откуда-то «из компьютера», из какой-то там сети. Что такое, по сути, Интернет? Вот общедоступное определение: множество компьютеров, связанных между собой в огромную сеть. Благодаря этому и становится возможным скачивание файлов из сети, равно как и просмотр веб-страниц, наполненных определённой, чаще всего текстовой информацией.  
В современном мире Интернет становится всё более значимой и нужной услугой. По телевидению, в газетах всё чаще можно наткнуться на яркие предложения поставщиков таких подключений. Интернет постепенно становится таким же благом цивилизации, как телевидение, радио, водо- и газопровод. Кто из городских жителей сейчас ходит с ведром на речку за водой? Никто. Есть же вода в кране! Без телевизора и радиоприёмника тоже трудно представить современную нашу жизнь. Хотя и жили люди без этого. А вот о такой прихоти как Интернет-услуги, следует поговорить подробнее.  
Трудно сказать, когда я впервые услышал слово «Интернет», и тем более понял его значение. С компьютером как таковым я впервые познакомился в детстве – полчаса поиграл в игру у соседей. Знал я также, что на компьютере можно набирать текст, как на пишущей машинке, и печатать его на бумаге с помощью принтера. При этом качество оттиска, безусловно, выше, чем на машинке. Что такое Windows, файлы и папки, как хранить информацию на машине – это для меня было ещё не знакомо.

Cinema is much younger than theatre. It was born at the end of the 19th century. The first people who showed the first movies to a paying public were the Lumiere Btothers of France. They did this on the 20th February 1896 at the Grand Cafe, Boulevard des Capucines, Paris. This was the first cinema show and it was quickly followed by many others in all parts of the world. All the 1996 we celebrated the hundredth anniversary of cinematography. The first films showed moving people and transport or newsreels of processions and wars, and short comedies. In 1901 France was the first country to produce a dramatic film, The Story of a Crime, which was followed by The Great Train Robbery in the United States in 1903. At first, films were shown anywhere: in music halls, clubs and shops. By 1908, special film theatres were being built to give regular programmes. At this time cinema rapidly developed in both the New and the Old World. Charlie Chaplin made his first film, Making a living, in 1914 in the USA. At that time the world was crazy about Charlie, that was created by Charlie Spencer Chaplin. His Charlie, small and clumsy yet kind-hearted, generous and brave, has attracted the hearts of simple people in different countries. Sometimes they would stand in long queues to see a film with their favorite actor. The first films in the West were mainly melodramas or comedies. Then, in 1927, Warner Brothers in Hollywood made the first film in which an actor sang and spoke. The film was called Jazz Singer. It opened a new era in films - the era of the “talkies”. The film mostly told its story with titles, but it had three songs and a short dialogue. There were long lines of people in front of the Warner Theatre in New York. The silent film was dead within a year. The first one hundred percent sound film. Lights of New York, appeared in 1928. The first colour films were made in the 1930s, but the black-and-white films are made even today.

What is the Internet for me? I can say Internet is my second home, not real, of course, but virtual. It’s a reality of modern life: we can’t imagine our existence without the use of www (World Wide Web). It’s a pity but people are obsessed with the idea of being online. And I’m not an exception. I use vkontakte, facebook, twitter, instagram. I’m an active user of all these social networking sites. I chat with my friends, play online games, listen to music and watch funny videos. I have the Internet in my phone. For one hand, it’s cool that I can watch news when I go by bus/train/metro. From the other hand, I notice that I’m keen on the Internet. If I have nothing to do, I open my phone/laptop and surf the Internet. Sometimes I don’t even take the time. The Internet impacts my life.
