The Internet

So recently, my internet died. As a matter of fact, my internet is still not functional at the time of writing this post. This has got me thinking though, what would life be without the internet? Lets face it, attending university is fine, but as of 2013 having access to the internet is basically a pre-requisite. With the use of the internet, university students are able to socialise, study and entertain themselves.

• Socialisation: It's safe to assume that the majority of tertiary students are accessing some form of social networking on a daily basis, whether it be Facebook, Twitter or the countless number of others. 

• Study: Every University or higher education provider is likely to have access to some form of "portal". Students are able to upload assignments, contact staff, retrieve course notes, lecture recordings, additional notes, and even homework! The internet also allows students to research deeper about topics within their current units. This allows them to develop a greater understanding of the course material, of which they otherwise wouldn't of developed.

• Entertainment: When you have spare time, need a break, or are just bored in general, the internet proves extremely useful. Whether it could be playing video games online, renting movies for streaming, watching user uploaded content on YouTube or even browsing news/image forums such a Reddit  9gag and 4chan, the entertainment provided by the internet is limitless. 

Now we must think to ourselves, what would our lives be without all of these services?

By the way I am using the internet via my phones wireless hotspot.

Uni Library

We should have a bigger or more libraries.
In City Campus we have too small library.

At NorthRyde Campus, we have a big library but I have found some difficulties to find a seat during the exam period. Sometimes on normal days as well.

We should have more libraries. We should have a library for each different department of education.
Some of my friends from MQC told me that, the library at NorhRyde Campus is too far from some buildings in Uni. For example, Sydney Uni students have LAW LIBRARY, SCI-TECH LIBRARY and so on. They have enough places to study whenever they want.

We should have more available seats/places to study during the exam period. Many students are international students, most of them do not have appropriate quiet places to study at home.
If there are many libraries, it provides students more opportunities to study hard.
