  1. I think most probably that this Internet technology will be helpful, to get information easily. In that way it will make clear what is truth, what is reality and what is false propaganda. I think that provided each individual uses their own intelligence or mind to investigate further, this technology should be very useful.
    Because of all these things, the "internet" is a gigantic library, as well as a world-wide message board, telephone network, and publishing medium. It is open 24 hours a day, and you can find anything you want there, and say anything you want.

    As well as current events and blogs, information about almost any subject is available in depth and up to date. This is incredibly valuable for every subject you can imagine. Almost every college and government research organization is "on the web", along with libraries, educational institutions, associations, and many commercial directories and sites.
    If i appreciate the richness of the Web and the Internet, and get the benefits myself, then i will be better able to provide services on them.

  2. The Internet has served as the universal language of the virtual world since the beginning of the digital era. The Internet can be described as a global system of computer networks that use the standardised Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and are usually interconnected. The creation of the Internet started during the time-sharing of several well-known computers in the middle of the 19th century.
    As the technology for Internet progressed and its presence widened, it eventually became popular due to a number of almost endless capabilities it can offer, including electronic mail systems, information distribution, file sharing, multimedia streaming service and online social networking. The Internet has significantly served billions of people around the world.

  3. A global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. Unlike online services, which are centrally controlled, the Internet is decentralized by design. Each Internet computer, called a host, is independent.
    It is also possible to gain access through a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP).
