The wonders of the world are so....well, wondrous. Whether ancient, modern, or natural, they are often quite magnificent: Machu Picchu, the Great Barrier Reef, Taj Mahal or the Aurora Borealis. Did you know that along with the likes of the Polar ice caps, the Mayan Ruins (Mexico), and the Old City of Jerusalem, the internet was named by six U.S. judges in 2006 as one of the new seven wonders of the world?* You could go further than this and call the internet a double wonder. Not only is the internet itself a wonder, what can be achieved through the internet gives birth to many more wonders. From building wealth to mending relationships, gaming or becoming someone else, it can all be done online. Generosity is another human wonder facilitated by the internet. We may not all have the capacity to be a Sister Mary MacKillop, but the wonder of the internet means we can give some of our small change and be part of creating wondrous, big changes across the globe.
Go on, join the wonder!
the ohw team.
