We would like to ask you the following questions:
-How do you benefit from technology science in learning?
-Who discovered the internet?

Answer
The Internet evolved as a result of a military inquiry. There is not a single person who invented it or discovered it. Many individuals and organizations deserve credit. The development of asynchronus transmission has probably been the biggest contributor.

Here are some good links.

Technology has made information much more readily available. You can now visit websites at almost all major colleges around the world and read thesis and other documents on any subject that you are interested in. Most importantly, you can learn the truth. You are not limited to what the publishers decide to include in the textbooks that they publish or what the MSM special interest groups decide to tell you. You also have access to great minds that you would never have thought of having before. I have had conversations with many scientists at a number of top universities and research labs around the world mostly about energy, geology, gravity and astrology.

A good example that might interest you is that most people and the media blame the Middle East for the oil crisis. Online, you will find that, while we do obtain a significant amount of oil from Saudi Arabia, the largest supplier of oil to the U.S. by far is Canada. Not once have I heard the MSM special interest groups mention this.

I personally learned more in one year online than I learned in college.

There are, of course, other technology developments like multimedia presentations that have made instruction more effective but, nothing compares to the wealth of information online for a person who is interested in learning.
