Internet is here to stay, one way or the other, precisely because of it's usefulness. You find it every where because is an improvement in the quality of life of both old and young alike. We as a progressive society have not just accepted it but nowadays have become depended on it. Jorge A Perez Gonzalez

2. It is in the fields of marketing and trade where it is more useful. Even if you are just surfing through the web it won't be long before you'll get a pop up message offering you something. Internet was the reason for the world economy big boom in the late 1990. Just about anybody, regardless of their education or age, know how to buy and sell on the Internet. Jorge A Perez Gonzalez
3. English is absolutely essential when doing business or just surfing the Internet. The reason is because English is the most spoken language in the world. Most of the web sites I visit have a disclaimer in their agreement of use enforcing the use of English for communicating. No matter what country you do business, when it comes to world market and trade soon or later, you'll have to communicate in English. Jorge A. Perez Gonzalez

The internet has helped in different fields of human life in different ways. The internet helps people a lot these days, because if you want something either search for information, phone numbers and other things all you have to do is search on the internet. Also these days the internet greatly helps businesses and shops as it allows them to promote the product in the pages of internet and the different social networks pages and they don’t have to spend much money on promotion.
I think it is important to know English because when the internet is used and not just using the internet, in most of the things we do. Is nice to know English because when using the internet most of the information is in English and often when we use the translator it don’t specifically what you want and the order is really bad. We live in a time that English is important for all. If you want to claim something about shopping cards or phones are mostly United States and is there that we need knowledge about the English. The internet helps a lot in both our daily life and also for our business life. Many job interviews here in Puerto Rico are in English. Here for in Puerto Rico to work on some places you have to know both languages. For me English is very necessary in our lives.

Internet has helped every field of human life just by connecting people together. We can send information faster than ever without losing valuable time, that otherwise would be spent traveling. Also before the Internet we had knowledge limited by physical barrier, while nowadays it became limitless and obtainable to everyone.
Internet revolutionized market and trade. We can see that just by observing sites like Ebay and Amazon. Similar to knowledge, the items that can be bought are limitless and cheaper since every part of a company is connected regardless of physical place.
Mastering English is paramount while using the Internet. Businesses have adopted it as the preferred language. Even though websites like duolingo are changing that we have to live in the present and utilize English to communicate effectively.
