Network Time

Every day the World Wide Web is used by a large number of people for completely different needs. One category of people turns to it to search for necessary information and studies, the other - for leisure and social networking, some follow the news and work in online companies. The Internet has entered the lives of almost a third of people on Earth and covers all areas of life, from personal and political. With confidence, we can say that the 21st century is the time of the Web.

It is difficult to imagine modern life without a network. This powerful mechanism does not replace some of the human needs, such as communicating with other people, gaining new knowledge and broadening the horizon, but it makes it possible at least partially to satisfy them. Correctly, the Internet is called a cobweb: it covers the whole world with thin threads and connects all the available information, tying to itself more and more new users every day. Just one click on the "Find" button and a lot of answers on your request will appear on the Internet page. Is there a simpler and faster way to get information?

Information does not emerge from the void, it is all gathered with the help of billions of people around the world, therefore the World Wide Web is not only a source for gaining knowledge, but a resource for their dissemination. For example, you can take a project such as "Wikipedia". The "Free Encyclopedia", as it is also called, is edited and updated by specialists, as well as by anyone with certain knowledge on a particular subject.

An important need for man in the modern world is self-realization, which due to the almost limitless possibilities of the Internet becomes more accessible. For young people, it becomes more attractive to open their own business, advertise and create websites of their company on the Internet, where their products are gaining momentum in a relatively short time.

The network becomes an indispensable assistant in everything. Without leaving the computer screen, you can make purchases, order or register the necessary services, get help in any matter and attend a meeting or a conference. Opponents of the network claim that it will soon seize all people and they will not be able to do anything without the Internet. However, if you evaluate the opportunities that people get from the network, it becomes clear that with the help of it, time is saved that can later be spent on more important things than shopping or waiting in line.

Over the past decade, the World Wide Web has changed dramatically and modernized. If at the beginning of the two thousandth Internet was not in all offices and few at home, now it is used not only by computers, although it remains the main way, but also through mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices. A wide variety of accesses to the network once again confirms people's need for it, and also that now is really the time of information technologies and networks.

One of the most important advantages of the Internet is its mobility. Thanks to him, you do not need to wait for the news release time, but you can monitor the events in real time, regardless of where the event occurs.

The rapid exchange of information and news in the network led to the emergence of new media - Internet journalism. The newspapers are mainly about the analysis and review of the news of the previous day, watching news on TV takes a certain amount of time, so people are increasingly turning to online publications or online news services. As a result, some media are becoming multimedia. For example, the RosBusinessConsulting group of companies works in different spheres of mass media: television, radio broadcasting, information agency, marketing agency, printed publications. And the RBC TV channel and radio are broadcasting on the Internet.

Another engine of information has become social networks, such as Twitter, Facebook and Vkontakte. Virtual reality affects the real life of people. Social networks collect people, and also act as mass disseminators of information. It is the network that unites absolutely different people together.

The World Wide Web can be treated differently, but it is impossible to imagine the further life and development of the information society without the already familiar Internet for us.
