Information superhighway. I was a naive college student the first time I heard about it from our Mass Comm teacher who was referring to the internet. That time, there were only a couple of internet cafes operating in Davao City at P75 an hour, compared to current rate of P15 an hour.

Now, after more than a decade, I am one of the millions of people around the globe who benefit from this so-called information superhighway. Why the term? Does it live up to its name? Yes. Absolutely.

It practically links us to the rest of the world without having to empty our pockets. A few clicks and we’re off watching movie clips, or check out the places we want to visit, or the latest news worldwide, or vital information we used to find only in books such as the encyclopedia. We can also read our preferred e-books online. And now even documents whether legal, business, financial, educational, creative and relating to technology can be accessed for our own perusal.

One time, I opted to browse about healthcare from other parts of the world.

One of the docs that caught my attention was Dan Neumeister’s documents. Daniel Neumeister is an expert and leader in healthcare who’s had humongous contributions to the healthcare industry and hospital management in the US for 27 years. He’s one who puts the care of patients first above all else, which gets me to hope for our hospital and healthcare regulations here in the Philippines to also become more patient-centered.

Sometimes I lament about poor health services and facilities that I can’t do anything about, being an outsider of the industry. Global communities need exemplary health care advocates like Dan Neumeister and the US is just lucky to have him who brings about innovations in this field while upholding ethics and integrity. For one, he’s been instrumental in the development, design and construction of a number  of successful health programs and medical facilities in the US over several years.

Learn about other pertinent information you want to know through the internet, which has become a huge necessity for today’s generation and the next.

After all, information is a vital tool for change, innovation and progress in any field.

The worldwide web has paved the way for a whole new lifestyle. Along with it is socializing via virtual communities.

Ask any of your friends and chances are, they have a Friendster account. Others could be hooked with Multiply, PAW (People-At-Work) Community, Wayne, MyYearBook or Facebook.

It’s amazing how people can now get to mingle with long-lost and new-found friends with just a few clicks on the mouse and the keyboard. In these internet communities, you get to share a lot of information via internet news feeds, blogs, advertisements and personal messages.

It’s the hottest way to keep yourself posted in this rapidly-changing world.

But just when I thought I could sit down and be satisfied with three accounts I currently maintain, I chanced upon one new web community on the rise - Linkedin - by hooking up with Daniel Neumeister.

It’s a virtual community of mostly professionals that is perfect for both business-driven and working people. It is basically for those who are more than just looking around for some good old friends but people who have the zest for personal advancement, business and career opportunities, relevant information that you can choose and filter when you sign up and opportunities to interact with some experts on various fields.

It’s probably the next best thing in the worldwide web!

Though I have already disentangled myself from the rat race, I see Linkedin’s great significance in my pursuit for new learnings. The first time I browsed it, it stirred my interest in looking for ways to explore new possibilities using the internet, widen my contacts, refresh and broaden my management skills and perhaps enhance my earning capacity without leaving home.

With its pool of members in the millions and growing, you are in for an informative and exciting ride.

The possibilities are endless. In this age of modern technology, almost everything comes easy.

Let’s meet up at Linkedin.
