• This summer internet has changed my life for the better! I decided to learn a new language and found an online website that allows you to practice speaking with native speakers. In addition to learning two languages, I now have many acquaintances and 3 dear friends from all over the world. Skpye allows us to see each other's homes, to really get to know what life is like in our respective countries. Getting to know these people has challenged many of my preconceived notions. One of my friends is from a middle eastern country that our government is not too fond of. It has been so enlightening to discover that the populace of his country wants what we want...democracy, peace, economic stability. I think that if we use the internet to develop relationships, we will all be more reluctant to go to war! When you have met someone's family, seen their home, shared dreams and fears...you don't want anything to harm them....
