the most updated information from large databases. We can download software,
documents, and images whenever we need them. But the Internet has done much
more for people than simply make life more convenient. People’s lives have been
changed by online communities and social networks.

Jan Tchamani, an English teacher in Birmingham, UK, suddenly developed a
serious illness and had to quit her job. At age 50, she found herself out of work and
stuck at home with only her computer to keep her company. After a while, she
discovered that surfing the Internet could help her feel less lonely and bored. She
could listen to music, watch films, play games, and explore the world. She also
joined an online group where she could talk about her problems and get support and
advice from others. She realised that one of the greatest benefits of the Internet was its ability to remove the distance that usually exists between people.

been helped by the club. A 59-year-old man learnt how to apply for work online and
found a great job. Now that he works and can take care of himself, his daughter has
time to study at university. A 61-year-old woman who was living alone has started a
small online company together with two friends. She no longer feels lonely, and her company has become quite successful.
