Websites , the main component of the Internet,
have radically changed the way we lead our lives
today. Many websites have made our life simple
and easier, but some have actually revolutionized
the concept of socia l life. The concept of “world
wide web” (www) was launched in 1990 by the
physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, and since 1993, it was
made available to all common users. Isn’t it quite
surprising that within a few years only, it had a
colossal impact on our information environment?
Websites that changed the Internet world have also
had a great impact on our lifestyle.
Today, we use computers as easily as
telephones and we cannot imagine spending a
single day  without using at least one of the several
Google applications like Gmail, Google News,
Google Maps, Google Book Search, Google Earth,
etc. Certain websites have changed the Internet
world. We can find answers to our queries on
discussion like Wikipedia and we can express our
thoughts with the help of many blogging websites
or social networks. We can choose any educational
course from any university located in any part of
the world like MIT OpenCourseWare. It is quite
easier to acquire an international degree now.
Online banking, online booking, online shopping,
etc., have completely changed the way we lead
our lives. We can pay bills, tolls, taxes, insurance
or loan installments online and save a lot of time.
We can earn / save money by advertising and
promoting ourselves on different websites. We
can check the opening and closing times, weekly
holidays of any famous museum in Paris or Rome,
despite our own location. We just need to sit in
front of the computer and everything is available
right at our fingertips now. |
