Computers, Internet, Web sites…what
do they all mean? Hey, you’re probably not a technophobe,
I mean you own a microwave right? Just push a few buttons
and the food cooks itself-easy. Now, they tell you the best
way to share information, have a business, and generally
communicate in life, are on the Web. I don’t know
about you but for me the Web conjures up visions of a giant
spider whose sole intention is to turn me into a tasty appetizer.
Computers scare me. People say they’re the tool of
the future, but I find them to be quite alien, especially
compared to my lawnmower! All the technical jargon associated
with these machines, it’s like you have to have a
university degree in Information Technology just to turn
one on.
The key to solving the riddle is just to go back in time.
Not easy?! Think about our ancestors, the prehistoric cave-dwelling
hairy folk. How did they get the job done each day? Tools…
Tools. A man had his stone axe to kill the wild beast; a
woman had a basket to collect fruits and vegetables. Sounds
a little sexist, but fortunately times have changed in a
number of ways. In our modern society the main tool has
become the computer and anyone can use it. In the old days
a boy’s father would teach them how to throw the axe.
These days Web Hosts exist to help people get acquainted
with the Internet in much the same loving parental role.
These companies provide knowledge and access to all the
fundamental ways of taking part in using the space age super-tool.
I’ve heard that having knowledge about something is
half the battle of getting a job done. Having a Web Host
is like meeting your mentor, the wizard who shows you the
simple way to navigate through this new techno-world.
If you are a small business, a major company, or just an
individual looking to spread a message to the rest of the
world, the Internet or World Wide Web is your necessary
gate of entry. Communication through Web Sites and Email
systems is your means to partaking in the ‘new’
world. Whether you are searching for information, selling
a product or idea, talking to friends, or just browsing
through the ‘shop’ of life, Web Hosts are here
to help you make the journey as enjoyable as possible. No
more scratching your head in befuddlement, now there’s
a star lighting the way through our fearful darkness. |
