Internet – The internet works for everything from searching the definition of a specific word to searching for a job.  Don’t know how to get somewhere and need driving instructions?  Look it up on the internet.  Want to try out a new place to eat?  Look it up on the internet?  Want to know the show times to a specific movie on a specific day?  Look it up on the internet.

 Information resource is the biggest advantage that the internet offers.  Communication is the internet’s primary goal and its target is speedy communication.  Why?  Because the internet is a fast way to communicate with someone who you don’t feel like talking to in person or on the phone.  Sometimes we are having “one of those days” where we don’t want to hear from anyone but are wondering what’s going on and that’s when Facebook or Twitter come into place.

You can also find a lot of different ways to entertain yourself on the internet such as music, video games, movies, etc.  The internet is also a way to check the news and that’s the way I check it because I’m more on the computer than I am awake at home.  The audience for which internet is intended would be for toddlers from as young as 2 years old and elderly people who are curious to learn about the internet. 

Blogging – People who blog do it for different reasons such as to refine writing skills, increase their knowledge, or because that’s the way they earn income.  Some bloggers feel that blogging is a way to motivate them and once they are motivated, they feel as if they can motivate others who need it.  The audience would be anyone old enough to read and who would benefit from what the blog is about. 

Blogging also offers the ability to pursue your passion and helps you build a platform.  It is a way to help you connect with others who are big influencers.  By connecting with others you build a relationship and what’s better than connecting with other people who also share the same passion you do?  As people blog, their knowledge base also increases and they love to learn to be able to share what they know. 

It is also to be known that blogging helps people solve problems.  How?  Sometimes people blog something that somebody needed to hear.  For instance, I have a friend who is really into reading blogs and about 3 months ago, she read an answer of something personal she was going through and didn’t know how to handle.  It must be a good feeling that bloggers feel to see when someone responds with a thank you and how their blog changed this person’s life (to better that is). 

Mobile Phone – Is becoming an essential part of life as it is the way most people communicate nowadays.  Whether they use it to make phone calls, to text, or for the internet, mobile phones are a way to stay connected anytime and anywhere.  The audience for which mobile phone is intended would be for all ages.  Anyone can use a phone, kids, teenagers, adults, elderly, etc.  For what purpose they use it, that’s a different story but as far as to talk, anyone who has one or borrows one from someone who has one can use it. 

A mobile phone does offer a lot of independence and freedom and more people each day are depending on a phone for some reason.  Mobile phones have opened lots of doors, doors that we had never heard of before.   It is great to have if you happen to find yourself stranded in the middle of nowhere or have a problem and need to get a hold of someone.  Before mobile phones existed, you had to figure out how to fix a problem without a mobile phone and it wasn’t that easy at times. 

It is of a greater benefit for people in poor countries who want to get a hold of their family in another country.  A few mobile phone companies are offering affordable plans that include international calling.  When traveling, the best and fastest way to keep in touch with someone is through a mobile phone.  It is also convenient over having to carry a laptop wherever you go to get a hold of someone.  It is also an advantage because even if you did have a laptop you can take with you, not everyone has access to a computer or knows how to use a computer.    

Online Printing – You can basically print anything virtually that you want.  Such as documents, photos, labels, booklets, shirts, etc.  It can even be done in the convenience of your home and it’s affordable (if you don’t need to print tons of things each day).  This can be done by anyone who learns the process of printing and who has varied needs that need to be catered.

You can print from the convenience of your home without having to worry about going out and printing.  All you need is a good printer (a laser preferably); ink, paper, and you’re ready to go.  If you are going to print pictures, you need the photo paper and if there are other special things you need to print, then you’d need to get extra supplies.  If you print a lot, it is recommended to get your own supplies and do it from home because in the long run, it will save you a lot of money and a lot of time. 

If you don’t feel confident on having printing tools at home because you’re not sure you will know how to get the job done, then you can always hire a company to do your online printing.  There are lots of benefits for online printing and having someone do the printing for you guarantee’s you to get the process done faster and the prices might be more affordable.   Just browse around and compare the quality and the price.
