The Seven Stages of Human Life

The seven stages of life are infant, childhood, teenager, young adult, adulthood, retirement and the elderly stage. The origin of the seven stages of life came from an ancient Greek philosophical view. The belief is that there is an association between these stages and the cycle of the planets.

Infant: The infant stage begins at birth and lasts until the age of four. During this stage, characteristics are rapidly developing, especially in comparison with other stages.

Childhood: The childhood stage, between ages four and 13, is when the child develops their character, personality and own form of intelligence. The planet mercury represents this stage.

Internet helps many things

The #internet provide people with many great helps.

Firstly, it stores a huge load of information that we need for our works or studies. As the internet is a bunch of information that is compiled by people who want to share those important things. Therefore, you can find much information that related with almost all fields.

Secondly, people can share whatever they want on the internet ranging from personal life to scientific research. For example, if you just had a travelling trip to somewhere and you want to share with friends or other people, you can write those on the internet, so that other people can experience your experiences too.

Finally, there are a lot of entertainment materials. The internet allow you to do many fun things like chatting with friends, listening to fascinating music, reading a joke story or watching a movie.

In conclusion, the internet helps people collect information they need, share their experience or life story and get entertained.
