THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AND SUCCESS OPPORTUNITIES

Technological advancements have turned the world to a village.It is now very usual to hear several individuals talk or even write about the "global village".Similarly, the distance between time and space has been significantly compressed.There is no doubt therefore that having access to the internet has a connection to success.

There may be a temptation to argue that intelligence, more than any other factor, contributes the most to success.While not excluding intelligence as one of the factors that influence success positively,it is quite obvious that awareness of the existence of opportunities is fundamental to success.The internet represents awareness and information.As a reputable professor,J.O.J Nwachukwu-Agbada, put it;the internet has made it possible for individuals to take a tour of the entire world from the comfort of their living rooms.

Any institution that is serious with its concern with the academic advancement of its students must make arrangements to give its students unhindered access to the internet. Most institutions seem to have realized this fact. That is why getting connected to the internet has become a fundamental issue for all academic establishments.It is hoped that the zeal with which students embrace the awareness culture represented by the internet would eventually translate to a new order in which all things negative would have no place.
