Internet in daily life
More and more people nowadays are interested to be
known about all events, in taking some information quickly. With the
help of Internet you can make it easily. Back in the 1960th, at the time
of cold war, Pentagon asked a question: "How can could orders be issued
to the armed forces in the U.S. were ravaged by a nuclear assault?" The
communication ways at that time - the telephone, which connected
offices, the radio and TV stations - were not only vulnerable to attack,
they would also probably the first to go. Pentagon needed military
systems that would continue to work even the phones and radio had broken
down. In 1964 Paul Baran connected 4 computers in different patts of
the USA and posted a message. You couldn't destroy Internet - if some
computers will be broken down, the rest will work well. Nobody owns the
Internet, and no organization controls its use. Now millions of people
around the world are logging into libraries, call up satellite weather
photos, download computer programs and music, take part in discussion
groups. Even the Presidents have their own Internet accounts. In fact,
anyone with modem connected to the phone line can enjoy Internet. The
total number of people in Russia , who get into Internet, due the
Putin's statistics, is 10 million. In the modern Europe this number is
muck more - there are more than 200 million Internet users. Internet
users are unimpressed by television promise of 500 channel future. The
Internet already delivers 100.000 channels for all interests. In future
all technics will be connected to the Internet. Now we can connect with
Internet mobile phone, photo camera, palm computers and even alarm
clock. Now we can be connected with all the world everywhere - in the
bus, underground and even on the north pole.
