This image tends to provoke ideas of the older generation's childhood. How many times didn't we play at similar games as a child? On a deeper level we can see how the internet has not only eradicated this game from that of the youth but it has been replaced by the more technological gaming apparatus available on the market of today as well as that of social media activities present in the world wide web. No longer do we have to ask mum for bean tins and string in order to communicate with loved ones This concept can be realized with the advent of social media largely making itself available in the form of cell phones,. laptops and pc's. Congratulations and well done!
Even on perusing nature we can not escape the ever rebounding effects, ramifications and diversity the internet offers us Gone are the days when we simply enjoyed nature and were forced to simply take most of the memories home with us. The internet and our electronic devices provide a wide array of ways in which we can take the outdoors home with us. This may even occur in the reverse order where we can take our work outdoors with us as well - into the field - so as too speak.. Congratulations and well done!

The speed at which information technology and new innovations are improving is at such a high rate it is difficult for the individual to keep up. These days the younger generation tend to be more clued up concerning the internet than the older generation as this was the era in which they grew up in. How often don't we seek the advice of a younger counterpart to help us in our information technology dilemmas? Although the younger generation seem to be more involved in the social media and their applications -belonging to the so -called "selfie" generation - this has also extended to the older generation but to a lesser degree. Congratulations and well done!

It’s difficult to imagine that 30 years ago the internet played practically no role in our lives. This contest’s brief is short on specifics, asking simply that the imagery explores the existence of the internet, and the impact that it has had on the world. Where it will help, do feel free to include information in the description of the image about how the image might be interpreted in relation to this contest.
In todays world - which we can safely call the "selfie" generation - how many times aren't we out and about only to witness a similar scene?- either that or the long arm stretched out in order to take an image to mark the occasion. With so many social media platforms there are a lot to choose from - if not all in order to post your images and voice your opinion. This may be done often without thinking the situation through , at times plenty of damage may be occurred in the process. On a positive note, however, it performs ways we never thought possible to keep in touch with our loved ones and update them upon our activities. Congratulations and well done!
The irony and humor of this image serves as it's most attractive appeal. Not only did the older generation grow up with superman but he has still remained with us in a new transformation- but that effected by the internet and all it's ramifications. He has , however, tended to evolve in many a way He no longer has to enter into a telephone box -which are mostly unavailable these days except for being more on the historical side of things -but now makes use of the cell phone instead We assume that the might be calling a taxi seen his cape is missing! He also seems more interested in his cell phone than watching out for any evil omens which is a practice exercised by many. Congratulations and well done!
These days the typical family gatherings are as such depicted in this image. Gone are the days of the family sitting around a table eating their evening meal together. These type of events are only reserved for special occasions. The irony is that even the young one's are learning the skills before being able to even walk properly. The lack of communication is apparent as each delves into the internet to their heart's desire while forgetting that of their loved ones in the nearby vicinity. The traditional family values so engrained in us have now been replaced by information technology, Congratulations and well done!
How many times have we not been bombarded by this sight - only leading to frustration as we wait for the uploading to complete? The internet and it's abilities has so improved over the years that new innovations are constantly being created. The creativity and innovation involved in this image- that of uploading to the cloud instead of onto your device- brought with it many a convenient way for which individuals may complete a task. The simplicity of the image proves again that less is more and so emphasizes the point at hand - that of the uploading process. Congratulations and well done!
