  2. Hi Junior,
    great essay! I also love this video. We heavily depend on the internet these days but not everybody knows about its origins. It's amazing how quick and unexpected its development has been. I wonder where we'll be 10 years from now...

  6. Hi Junior!

    I found your essay very interesting and informative.

    I also think it's true that computers offer invaluable help to students in particular. That's why I'm sometimes surprised that my students don't take more advantage of this great tool. Most of them use their computers mainly for entertainment. Is it like that in your country too?
