Spanish vocabulary: the Internet. LatinoSchools

Hello there! Welcome once again to our Spanish Vocabulary section. Today we will be learning about something so present in our lives: the Internet!

For many people, especially youngsters, it would be almost impossible to imagine a life without the net. Truth is (spoiler) there is a life without the Internet!

The Internet has brought many advantages to our modern world. It provides immediate access to massive amounts of information daily and anywhere around the globe. The quality information available contributes to more conscious, self-aware and interconnected societies. But users need to be aware to use it in moderation and responsibility. When used inappropriately, the Internet can also be a source of misleading information.

What is undeniable is that the Internet age arrived a long time ago and it is here to stay. Keep reading and learn Spanish vocabulary about computer parts (hardware) and the Internet with us! And don’t forget to check our previous Spanish vocabulary lesson: food.
