This story is about a computer class my oldest son Pier and his friends are taking. They want to learn how to be web designers so they are taking some computer courses through the summer. Pier and some of his friends work part time as web designers. He is so involved in learning about the computer that he tried his talent at being a programmer. His friends and he spend a lot time in the chat room discussing about being a programmer and how they want to be web designers. Pier spends most of his time dreaming about being a programmer, but he spends more time talking to his friends about them being web designers and being a programmer. I would love to be able to get into his computer and see what is all being said in the chat room. Being boys, I have no doubt of what the conversation is most of the time.

So, a thorough study about the user preferences must be made before designing a website.

The web site design is a very important aspect of any online business. Look at the examples of some of the most popular websites today. The most popular social networking websites have been so designed that the user finds himself glued to thepcmore often than not. The cyberspace has become so popular these days that most people are living a parallel life in the cyberspace. They have friends there just as in real life. This is where the social networking sites have become popular. They are steps ahead of the chat rooms of old. These social networking sites offer several unique features, one of the most important being the way users are now able to connect with each other even when one of them is off-line. Earlier when chat rooms were used userswere able toconnectwith each other, only when each user was sitting in front of his or her PC. Sites like Orkut,Facebookhave revolutionized the way people interact over theInternet.It has become unnecessary for both users to be available at the same time. One can post messages now when the recipient is off-line. When the recipient comes online, he canreceivethe message and leave a similar message to some one else.The cyberspace is fast filling with several similar websites which allow people to interact even when one of them is off-line. First with the introduction of thePCand again with the advent of theInternet, life has changed so drastically that people are now living two lives at the same time; one in the real world and another in the virtual world and for many people it is their virtual existence which has become more prominent. They spend all of their waking hours in the cyberspace. The usage of the pc has increased manifolds after the introduction of the Internet. Only time will tell whether this is good or bad or will have long lasting effects on the human kind as a whole. For the time being more and more people will start to live parallel lives in the cyberspace. This is probably an irreversible change that has set in. We will have to wait and see what happens next.

A programmer is a person who writes codes for all types of software's. As you all know, computers understand only the language of 1s and 0s. A software is a piece of program written bya programmer to make things user friendly for the users and at the same time convert them into these 1s and 0s so that the computer understands them too. These are done with the help of programming languages. Some are high level languages involving English words while some are low level languages (assembly level languages) which are not that simple. Many software languages have an inbuilt compiler which converts the program language into machine language so that the computer may comprehend whatever is written.

5am. I cannot sleep, money troubles haunt over me. I turn on my laptop. The light is blinding me but I somehow make my way onto the internet to check my on-line banking. 'I'm sorry but your on-line banking details cannot currently be displayed'. Oh great that's just what I need I thought to myself. I logged onto my email account and sent an email to the banking company. I sat up in my bed and talked calming words to myself for 5 minutes until my eyes began to feel heavy and I fell asleep.

When I just moved into my apartment there was one problem, I did not have Internet. However there was no need to fear, there was a local Internet provider around my area that offered cheap rates as well as a free web page design service which I found to be pretty nice. I called their branch in my area and found that they could install a high speed cable connection in my room the next day. The next day, the cable guy came and started to install the Internet cable that would provide me access to the net. Once the cable was installed and my computer connected, he explained to me all of the features of the net and what his internet provider gives me. First, I got a free e-mail address with junk email filtering and one gigabyte of storage. Second, I got high speed access to the Internet. As he was explaining this, I thought that this Internet provider is very helpful in getting me started. Once he left, I immediately connected to the net and found the great convenience that the Internet has brought me. I can shop online, do research in a flash, play games, and many more on the Internet. I checked my email and saw my junk email filter at work sifting out all of the bad, spam emails from the emails that I actually care about. Soon, as I used the Internet more often, more and more junk email came into my inbox which started to bother me a lot. I contacted my Internet provider and asked them to strengthen my junk email filter which they did without a problem. Ever since I had gotten high speed Internet, doing everyday things such as shopping, research, social networking, and playing games have been easier for me. I soon discovered instant messaging and found that I can contact my friends in an instant without having to call them first which I found to be very convenient. Also, internet calling also struck me as extremely convenient since I do not have to use the phone to call my friends, I can now use my computer. The internet has made my life much easier.

After a long day at school, Bob finally gets to have some time off and relax online with his friends. They can chat on MSN, which is an instant messaging application that almost all teens have, or go on Facebook and check their online status. He loads up Firefox, another Internet browser like Internet Explorer. His friends are always sending him messages he is unfamiliar with, so he has to google them a lot.
