Why the Internet?
Over the past century and a half, important technological developments have created a global environment that is drawing the people of the world closer and closer together. During the industrial revolution, we learned to put motors to work to magnify human and animal muscle power. In the new Information Age, we are learning to magnify brainpower by putting the power of computation wherever we need it, and to provide information services on a global basis. Computer resources are infinitely flexible tools; networked together, they allow us to generate, exchange, share and manipulate information in an uncountable number of ways. The Internet, as an integrating force, has melded the technology of communications and computing to provide instant connectivity and global information services to all its users at very low cost. (Robert E. Kahn and Vinton G. Cerf) In the next couple of years the Internet will become the one indispensable source for information, news, training and communication. Not being able to use this source will be of the same level of disadvantage than being illiterate. The browser will be THE tool to access it and the better you know your browser the faster, safer and precise you can retrieve what you are looking for. Not being comfortable with the Internet means to be an easy target for manipulation by malicious people. |
