But I suppose it’s really worth of interest. Some people claim that it can be the end of classical «stone» universities. Even the representatives of some universities especially abroad seem to take this threat seriously. But as for me distance learning can be only complementary part of education. The idea I really like is the possibility to study at any chosen time and wherever there is an access to the Internet.
I think the World Wide Web is a great place for business. Website presentation of business plays an important role in internet business, every business which is presented well may lead to success whether your product is useful or not. There are also great advertising opportunities on the WWW and various business models with which one can make money online.
Sometimes people use the WWW just for pleasure, downloading new films or favorite music, watching clips or looking for some extraordinary pictures, playing some online games. It is pleasant the Internet became cheaper and rapider than few years ago.
Periodically they also use the Internet stores to look at the novelties, to know operating characteristics of some products, to compare prices and maybe to buy some computer stuff. I should say such experience is very convenient and functional for you don’t have to go to the common market and ask the assistant thousands of questions about certain product or service.
People go on and on about how wonderful WWW is. About how much information is out there in cyberspace. About the way that everything is within reach in just a few clicks of their mice. The World Wide Web has enabled us to do things from the comfort of our homes like never before.
I think the WWW can be compared to a huge library where people can source information and news or to an amusement park offering games and diverse entertainment or to a means of filling interpersonal communication gaps. For me the WWW is information, communication, education and way of spending time. Thanks to WWW all the world is in my PC.
So the WWW is making an impact on many aspects of our lives. It has changed the way we work and communicate, as well as the way we learn. It is serving as a vehicle for the exchange of information regardless of social, economic or geographical differences. But people shouldn’t forget about their everyday life, interpersonal relations, hobbies, health using WWW which is the most easy-to-use way of having information, communication and pleasure. Concerning children adults should set limits as to how much time and what sites they can visit and always remind them to never give personal information over the Internet no matter what age they are.
