Internet Access + ME!

So now i finally know how important is the internet!
I am currently in melbourne where the apartment i stay do not provide internet
My flatmates intend to share a wifi and it is still in the process (apparently the process takes around 2 weeks, so LONG!)
So now i am living with only 2gb data phone plan! (dying!)

PEOPLE NOWADAYS CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT INTERNET!

THERE ARE A FEW REASONS BEHIND IT :

1. Applications!!!
In advanced countries like Australia, everything is done with the internet!
University enrollment needs to done ONLINE!
Subjects enrollment is ONLINE too!!
Even timetabling is also ONLINE!!!
If you don't have Internet access basically you do NOTHING!!

Talking about banking, you need to do INTERNET BANKING which requires Internet access!
Why Internet banking? apparently in Australia you can only transfer money with Internet baking!
not to mention that i even need to apply a bank acc. ONLINE!

What about TFN? Tax File Number is something like the number for each individuals to pay income tax!
Even if you don't work, you need that too!
And again, apply it ONLINE through www.ato.com.au !

Almost everything is done ONLINE! it is really environmental friendly as it is PAPERLESS!

2. Enquiry!!

Got something to ask? not to sure about smt?
In Australia, you don't really need to make phone calls!
You can CHAT ONLINE!! you get immediate reply by the staff or representative! so cool!
not only chat online, you can even TWEET!
Library of university of Melbourne have twitter that you can ask almost everything about it through twitter!!
besides, if there is something formal, just EMAIL!
No more paper forms to fill, instead online forms like google drive!

3. Connections

Wanna keep in contact with new or old friends, use SOCIAL NETWORK!!
There are tons of them!!
Personally, i use FB, Insta, WeChat, Line, Whatapps.....
Especially in connecting with my friends back in Malaysia or Singapore, i use all these!
FYI, i am using a mobile package which has unlimited TXT to international and local!
So i do sms my friends overseas but i will ask them to reply me through social network because it is FREE!

Now, tell me how many of us can live without Internet Access?
but I really wonder why in Australia there is not so many FREE WIFI spots like Malaysia.
they depends much on ONLINE but hard to find FREE INTERNET ACCESS!!
what if someone dont have mobile data, how can they survive?
