  • Before we get onto the positive effects of internet use, let’s start with these much touted negative side effects.

      before we talk about the positive effect, we first talk something about negetive.
  • The same things were said about rock music when records were at their most popular, and about televisions when they were first invented.

      This is an Analogy: The comparison of among the Internet, rock music, and television. They are popular and controversial (with negative effects).
  • There are also positive effects of internet usage in business.

      Exemplification: Provide an example of good effect in business.

  • anyone can make money online . With the ‘One Child One Laptop’ scheme that’s heading to Africa, and the large-scale attempts to provide the continent with a secure internet connection this could see one of the largest continents joining us online to share their views and earn themselves some money. This will give them access to all the education they could need as well as the resources they’d need to make the most of that. Many of them could see themselves working their way out of poverty – and online they can expect the same wages as other continents as its faceless nature eradicates discrimination. One of the positive effects of internet use then is that it could help some people in escaping from the poverty trap.

      this is another example for good effect of the Internet which is everyone can use the Internet making money.
  • Destroying industry and providing a place for these deviant ‘subcultures’ to converse? Those too are perhaps the most positive effects of internet use. These are the things that promise to change the way politics and business work forever and potentially usher in a new age of supreme democracy and resources. Granted, there are some sub groups online that we’d probably rather there weren’t, but at least if they’re online they can talk to each other and leave us alone. Other ‘subcultures’ however simply reflect different ways of thinking – and the internet gives them an open forum to freely express themselves, something that everyone has a right to do.

      Too many spaces between these words; takes away from credibility.
  • The Peace River coalfield, which extends for 400 km through the northeast part of British Columbia, was first discovered in 1793. Due to lack of infrastructure, mining in the early days was limited to small operations serving local needs. The expansion of steel production in the mid-1960's, led by the Japanese steel mills, stimulated exploration for metallurgical (coking) coal on a global scale. Within ten years the majority of the land within the Peace River coalfield with coal mining potential had been acquired and explored by various mining and oil companies.

      This paragraph seems a bit jumbled. Because it's the first text people read, it may be more beneficial to state something more general and audience-friendly. What is written here seems a bit technical to jump into right off the start. Or, instead of having it all in one paragraph, it could be split into bullet points for easier reading.

      'Local and others' seems very vague. Something like 'With the help of our local and global partners,' may be more straightforward. It almost seems like using 'others' could be misinterpreted for the reader to think that the company is hiding something about their partners.

  • the research starts to make a little more sense if you ask what type of productivity we are talking about.
  • If it’s personal productivity—how many sales you close or customer complaints you handle—then the research, on balance, suggests that it’s probably better to let people work where and when they want.
  • But other types of work hinge on what might be called “collaborative efficiency”—the speed at which a group successfully solves a problem. And distance seems to drag collaborative efficiency down. Why? The short answer is that collaboration requires communication. And the communications technology offering the fastest, cheapest, and highest-bandwidth connection is—for the moment, anyway—still the office.

  • For jobs that mainly require interactions with clients (consultant, insurance salesman) or don’t require much interaction at all (columnist), the office has little to offer besides interruption.
  • The power of presence has no simple explanation. It might be a manifestation of the “mere-exposure effect”: We tend to gravitate toward what’s familiar; we like people whose faces we see, even just in passing. Or maybe it’s the specific geometry of such encounters. The cost of getting someone’s attention at the coffee machine is low—you know they’re available, because they’re getting coffee—and if, mid-conversation, you see that the other person has no idea what you’re talking about, you automatically adjust.
  • But IBM has clearly absorbed some of these lessons in planning its new workspaces, which many of its approximately 5,000 no-longer-remote workers will inhabit. “It used to be we’d create a shared understanding by sending documents back and forth. It takes forever. They could be hundreds of pages long,” says Rob Purdie, who trains fellow IBMers in Agile, an approach to software development that the company has adopted and is applying to other business functions, like marketing. “Now we ask: ‘How do we use our physical space to get on and stay on the same page?’ ”
  • The answer, of course, depends on the nature of the project at hand. But it usually involves a central table, a team of no more than nine people, an outer rim of whiteboards, and an insistence on lightweight forms of communication. If something must be written down, a Post‑it Note is ideal. It can be stuck on a whiteboard and arranged to form a “BVC”—big, visual chart—that lets everyone see the team’s present situation, much like the 727’s instrument panels. Communication is both minimized and maximized.
