Ronaldo SiregarModern Technology has had a tremendous effect on the lives of people and their
entertainment habits. Today, the Internet has undergone a phenomenal global growth. It
has become such an important data-gathering and communication source that few can't
afford to ignore. The Net encircles the globe.
Young people spend a lot of time on their computers because it’s exiting and they have
found in the Net new ways of meeting a basic human need: the desire to communicate
with other people. E-mail sends electronic messages from one person to another – like
letters, but capable of crossing the Atlantic in 15m. File transfers move bulk data from
one computer to another with these capacities, the Internet becomes post office,
printing press and meeting-place all in one.
Some people are making a fortune in cyberspace. Most companies have their own
websites; others exist only on the Internet. They are something called “dot com”
companies. Some of the most successful Net entrepreneurs are teenagers who are still
at school. They are called internet nerds.
Tom Hadfield, 16, started a football results website called soccer-net and it became a
great business.
To become a successful entrepreneur all you need is: to start a webpage of your own,
have a good idea for a business, think of a catchy name and find someone to lend you
money. And remember! English is the most used business language!
