Satellite Internet - Helping Rural Communities Prosper

103 11
Every day the role of the Internet in our day-to-day lives becomes bigger and more important.
It has become the principle way to search for information in modern day life.
It is transforming the way in which we communicate with loved ones, friends, family, co-workers, and classmates among many others.
And, it has become paramount in how educational systems function from pre-school to university level education.
So the goal is to get internet to as many Americans as possible in order to facilitate communication in general to form more closely knit societies, unite families, and encourage new education technologies for younger generations and generations to come.
In urban areas Internet has been widely accessible for quite a long time.
Due to higher population density, there are more computers per capita which innately means more people are connected to the Internet.
As well, urban societies tend to stress the importance of formal education more so than rural communities due to drastically different lifestyles and different value systems.
This also means that the youth in urban societies are encouraged to use the Internet more.
The United States is modernizing and physical spaces between people are getting smaller and smaller, and with this change, the Internet will be become an inevitable tool to stay in contact with the rest of the world.
But rural communities are at a disadvantage.
This is not because of the refusal to incorporate the Internet into their daily lives.
It is an infrastructural problem because much of the Internet access in urban areas are provided by cable and in many rural areas cable in unavailable.
It is simply not available everywhere.
So the question is, how can high speed Internet be made readily available to populations outside of urban centers? Arguably the most effective solution up to date is satellite Internet broadband.
With the invention of satellite broadband, Internet communications have become much more accessible to a much larger portion of Americans throughout the entire country in rural and urban areas.
Now, although physical distances many be large, the spread of useful information will reach more people no matter where they are in the United States.
In terms of education, smaller schools that are far away from urban centers will feel much closer to the world around them.
A school for example in rural Kansas can take a virtual tour of major museums in New York City, or go on a photo tour of China to learn about its many distinct cultures, languages, peoples, and customs.
They can also use hard to obtain calculators or converters to solve complicated math problems.
It even goes as far as schools with less money saving on paper and photocopying costs when the information is digital.
This in turn has a positive impact on the environment.
Another great use for satellite Internet is the ability to stay in touch with family.
Through this means families, no matter how far apart, can share photos, news about everyday life and coordinate times to see one another.
The opportunities truly are endless.
