Topic 87 What is an important discovery in the last 100 years? I think the most important discovery that has been the most beneficial (наиболее полезное) for people in my country is the invention of the Internet

I think the most important discovery that has been the most beneficial (наиболее полезное) for people in my country is the invention of the Internet. So far as I can tell, the Internet has been beneficial to people around the globe. My view is a commonsense (здравый смысл) one, based on the fact that the Web is a vast storehouse of information and opinions, which can be of science, literature, politics, sports or even, sex. Anyone with access to a computer and a dialup connection can unlock the door and trawl (тралить, ловить рыбу тралом) through its offerings.

The Internet can be used as a broad base of knowledge that contributes to the educational system. Students and teachers benefit from the use of the Internet, as well as administrators and others outside of formal education. Students benefit because the Internet provides a resource to supplemental information (дополнительная информация) for any subject. Educators benefit because the Internet provides a vast knowledge base to prepare for teaching topics. People are not only learning from the Internet, they are contributing and sharing knowledge through networked communities. The Internet is the advancement of education for all its users.

slow advancement — медленный рост, медленный прогресс

The Internet is changing the way we do business. The Internet can deliver (доставлять, разносить, развозить) better customer services to people. Using Internet broadcasting, we are able to target the right audience (нацелиться на нужную аудиторию), prepare and present a technical presentation on a popular topic, interact with new customers, and collect hundreds of highly qualified leads. As Internet companies continue to find innovative ways to leverage (использовать кредит для совершения финансовых сделок) the capabilities of the Internet for businesses, the more we will learn how to provide optimal solutions for customers. Which in turn, will greatly benefit people (Что в свою очередь, пойдет на пользу людям).

The Internet today is a way to transfer and share information. On the whole, it is a benefit to individuals of all kinds (В целом, это благо для людей всех видов). We do have problems surrounding the Internet that need to be solved, but as with all new technologies there are debates and opinions. Since the Internet technology is spreading, it will soon become as popular as all other forms of communication. If you have not tried it, do so.
