Ielts Essay - Greater Innovations 

Internet has overwhelmed humanity greatly, so much, so that some have started considering it to be the most prominent accomplishment of the man. However, such enthusiasm does not seem to emanate from every section: they think differently.

The most prominent of changes can be observed in personal realm where it has afforded effective and convenient methods of communicating. It has now become extremely easy to interact, with peers, nears and dears; now people do not have to wait to convey messages since this task barely takes a few moments to transmit messages anywhere across the world. Not only this, the whole exercise hardly costs anything expect nominal monthly subscription.

However, a school of thought considers discovery of electricity worthy of being termed as a true feat which completely transformed lives. The advent of this form of energy made it possible for the mankind to explore formerly untrodden realms: communication, transportation, medical diagnosis and intervention, construction, etc.  it's presence is conspicuous in every imaginable sphere of human life. Even the internet saw the light of day due to electricity.
