Look back to the years when people were all the time listening to their radios with the typical speaking style of that time. Then came the television which changed how people spent their leisure time. Looking at how trends have become today, it really becomes very difficult to imagine that people lived like that and simply we say “There is no life without internet, Mobile and blah blah blah…â€
Imagine your life with no facebooks and twitters around you. What would you have been doing now instead of reading this, if there were no internet. I will keep giving so many clauses to think over, lets leave this aside and come directly to the point.
