The Internet drives the hottest stocks on Wall Street, shape technological innovation, and fills the pages of the world’s presses. The Internet creates new ways for citizens to communicate, congregate and share information of a social nature. It is obvious that the Internet has and will continue to change the way we live. How it is changed our lives, is the reason for so many conferences on the topic. The Internet has had an enormous impact on society and its influence will no doubt continue. Many people now work in Internet related jobs, either building computer network components, writing software, creating Web pages, performing marketing research, designing graphics or conducting on the Web. Many people obtain all their information and perform most of their communication using the Internet. Such things as weather, news, stock process and travel information are accessed by millions of users every day. It is difficult to think of any areas of society that have not been strongly affected by the Internet.
Field of Health Care
One of the impacts of the Internet on our society in the field of medicine is the research capabilities it affords the general public or the empowerment it affords patients and their families. Once the patient or his family, were afforded just one second opinion. Those that could (and still can afford it) can go to as many doctors that they deem necessary. On the whole, the general public can see one “extra” specialist. Today, with the vast knowledge presented on the “Internet” one can glen great sources of information. The patient is much better informed to discuss his case with his doctor, understand alternatives, side affects, the latest treatments available and the statistical probabilities of success.
Field of Education
Education is one of the impacts in social. School as one of the example, and the objective is to educate students to be good and productive. About four years ago, teachers were very slowly introduced to the world of computers. Most teachers were somewhat apprehensive, afraid that with an incorrect click, the computer world “explode”. This is an area of great interest, as in this age of computer technology and roles are not always as traditional as in the past. This year, with the help of the Internet a new component was added. With the help of the Internet and some books, the students in pairs searched the Internet for information. Searching the Internet was very interesting, as the graphic were wonderful to look at, the information most exciting. This is one example that tells about the independence the Internet affords students. The Internet can make learning so much more exciting, interesting, very engaging and very mush alive.
