The media are tools that help us to receive or transmit information. Thus, they help us to communicate with each other. Examples: Telephone and Mobile TV Radio Newspaper Journals Internet

Life today is highly dependent on computers. They do most of the important work and are found everywhere from homes, to police stations, government institutions and military facilities. However, the computer would have never been so popular and widely spread if it was not for the Internet.

When the original conceptual foundation of the Internet was laid back in the 50s, no one had the slightest idea of how far this project would go. At those insecure post-war times of alienation and deepening political division, the vision of the Internet as we see it today, was only a matter of science fiction dreaming. Starting as a military project in the United States, it quickly became very popular in several other countries.

The dynamic, user-friendly interface of the Internet as we know it today, is breathed life into by a multilayer global network system that connects hundreds of millions of computers. The Internet carrier of various information resources and services, such as text and multi-media data, email, online chat, VolP, file transfer and file sharing, ecommerce, online gaming, etc.

The E-mail is probably one of the most popular features, which came alongside with the creation of the Internet. Today, almost every person on the planet has an email address somewhere, be it a self hosted email address or an email address with some of the free email providers, such as Google or Yahoo.

With the growth of the Internet and the number of its users, a huge market share was created. Before, to hold an enterprise you had to have an office and cover all kinds of additional expenses, whereas now you can just create a website with one of the several ecommerce script solutions, and have your own online shop in a matter of minutes.

This has allowed a lot of small businesses to grow, making their products available worldwide to a much wide audience.

The transfer of files over the Internet has existed since the creation of the latter. Today, with the majority of information being stored on files, their safe transfer and sharing has become a big necessity.

Since browsing the Internet is considered as a pretty normal daily activity such as picking up the phone to make a phone call, for example, the Internet access points have became an indelible part of the communication infrastructure. Public Internet-connected places include libraries, airports, coffee shops, hotels, and specializes Internet cafes.

Thanks to the Wi-Fi technology, the Internet can now be accessed by every laptop/PDA equipped person within wireless-connection enable areas such as campuses, malls, parks and even entire cities. The mobile phone industry has also been affected by the Internet with almost every newly released phone model offering access to the global network.

Talking about the Internet, it is important to point out that it is not identical in meaning with the World Wide Web. Both terms are increasingly used synonyms on a global scale, although this is not correct from a technical point of new. The reason for this common misunderstanding is that the World Wide Web is the most popular Internet application today.

Anyway, you should distinguish both terms, knowing that World Wide Web represents the huge set of interlinked text documents, images and other resources presented on the websites and linked by means of hyperlinks and URL elements, while the Internet provides the physical environment for the web to exist.
