Essay Writing
The example of language that I chose
to elaborate on is that of the online world— possibly one of the most
influential and commonly used interfaces in our country. Interestingly enough, the terms and steps
taken to get “online” can be interpreted as a metaphor for human society
and human interaction in general. For
instance, the concept of establishing a “connection” is in essence one of the
most valuable
skills attainable in the overall scheme of social relations. In life, connections can get us everything
from valuable job offers to free trips to Disney Land; the possibilities are
only bound by our own perseverance. An
online connection follows much the same trend—it serves as an intermediary to
the luxuries of the internet. After this
connection is established, once again, all that is holding us back is the
extent of our imagination. In short, the
internet seems best defined as an intangible utopia, one which mirrors the
opportunities and prospects that await us in our actual lives.
