listen to ‘Internet project Interview rogan’ on Audioboo

In the late 1870s. The fastest way to get a message from New Zealand was by telegram. travelling along a cable. Some of the first telegrams cost 15 shilling per word that is over 100 dollar nowadays.Today we can send an email of a fraction of a sent. Nowadays Sending emails is much quicker than telegram.

When we search things or talk on social media you are normally connected to something called a wifi hotspot. These days we are making powerful computers called servers. Many businesses and universities have their own servers and networks.Big Internet companies have heaps of serves clustered together in one large building calls a data base.

168 million emails are sent every minute. 695000 updates on one social network are updated. 969 445 queries received by one major search engine. 600 plus videos one a sharing website. 11000000 conversations take place on instant messengers. Over 70 website created. 1500 Bogs posted. 370 000 Minutes on phone calls.

The Internet cost a lot of money and takes up lots of energy. The wireless technology also the millions of kilometres of wire and optic. Data centres use a lot of energy. A large number of data centres rely on energy generated by fossil fuels.  

Some internet companies are trying to find ways of reducing their environmental cost. One popular internet company has built a large data center in Sweden. The centre draws 120 megawatts of power, that's enough power for 16,000 houses. Even though the internet costs so much it changes our lives in many different ways. Technology is great,but we need to manage the environment cost so that we can continue to enjoy the internet.

Cyber bullying is very bad , it can really upset some people and it can cause death because they have been send threats and very mean messages on social websites. You know when you're doing cyberbullying and it is not nice. Think carefully before you send it will is hurt them or is it mean. Cyberbullying happens a lot way more than it should. People sometimes send threats through anonymous accounts. You know you're doing it and its a good idea not to press send.
