The Internet Story

Internet has taken major important place in our live nowadays. Some people just cannot live without the internet! Thankfully, I am not at the level (yet). Usually, i surf about 3-4 hours per day, reading the news, checking the updates and blog walking. I would like to share my history on how I was introduced in the world of internet.

Around year late nineties to early 2000 (cannot remember the exact year), my dad installed the internet connection, TMNet, during that time, internet was not familiar with some people, and the function still limited. To connect to the internet, we need to used the dialing up, 1515, that took ages just to open the page such as Yahoo (Google not yet born). With limited function, the internet used only for email (most popular was Hotmail and Yahoo), as well as looking for the information. 

Look at now, internet has unlimited function, and boundaries. Despite provide the information around the world with just one click, the world becomes closer. Now, through internet, we can watch video, television program from across the world, the live show and others. As according to sources from Internet World Stats, about 58% of Malaysian are now IT literate. Meaning to say, these people have the access to internet whether via broadband, dial-up or others. In addition to that, internet becomes the medium for Malaysian to interact and communicate. This shows the improvement among Malaysian as we can see that Malaysia are trying to be more knowledge and develop liked well developed countries. 

Even though the internet in Malaysia is quite left behind, I can say that now Malaysia are leading to the same road and level as developed countries. About a year ago, Telekom Malaysia (TM) has introduced High Speed Broadband or HSBB. HSBB offering the package of Unifi, the fastest internet that the minimum speed can achieve at least 10Mbps compared to Streamyx that maximum speed is 4Mbps.

 

And now, the wireless internet can be find everywhere especially through campus, and shopping mall. I was lucky to know such technology to help me improve in my life and definitely in finishing up my assignments.
