Introduction

There is a life-size influence of system on our daily life. Electronic devices, compact disc and computers are equipment we have to deal with everyday. Particularly the Internet is suitable more and more imperative for nearly everybody as it is one of the newest and most forward-looking media and of course “the” medium of the future. Therefore we thought that it would be necessary to think about some good and bad aspects of how this medium influences us, what impact it has on our social behavior and what the future will look approximating. The Internet malformed our life very much; there is no doubt about that. There are many reward of the Internet that shows you the meaning of this new medium. What I want to say is that Internet changed our life in a positive way. First we have to make a demarcation about the usage. You can use the Internet at home for personal or you at work for professional usage. Let’s come to the first. To spend a part of our day on the Internet is for many people fairly ordinary. They use this kind of medium to get information about all kinds topics. Maybe some of them are interested in chatting; probably they are members of a center of population. Whatever you are looking for, you will find it. Even if you wish for to have very specific information, you will find it in a short time. Normally, you often have to send a letter, than you have to wait for the greeting of the reply, or you have to make some telephone calls and so on. In any case, the conventional way is the longer one. To put your own information on the Internet is also possible. Create your own homepage; tell other users about your interests, what you want, that’s no problem at all.

Second step

As we all know, software expenses a lot, if you buy it officially authorized. Free software, free music is accessible on the Internet. You just have to download the program, the mp3-file or what on earth and that’s it. Why do you want to pay more as you need to? Particular websites are fashioned just to give you the newest programs, or to tell you where you can get it from. Napster might actually be the most celebrated one. The computer is a fix part of every current office and the maximum part has also an access to the Internet. Companies already in attendance their products, their military on the Internet and so they get more flexible. The next benefit I want to mention is the faster development. Many universities and research institutions are also linked. They are able to exchange experiences, novelties and often they start new projects together. If they are linked, they can save time and money. Especially at the commerce sector contact is power. If you are the leader of a creation, of a technology or just of an idea you are able to make a lot of money. To get into this position, the Internet can play an essential part. Companies all over the world are online. If you want, it is no problem for you to exchange experiences, you will hear new things, you will see some facts from another point of view. For this cause you will find new solutions, new ways to go, so take this chance!“Learning by doing”, everybody knows this phrase and it’s still an important part concerning the Internet. Children also use the Internet, most of the time they will “play” over the Internet, but they learn to work with the computer. There is only one way to be trained something, you have to do it. Even it’s the first make contact with the computer, after a few minutes the person will know that the computer-mouse is no animal running on the watch. He or she learns to write on the keyboard, to plot a course, to open and close programs, to save data... within hours. Try to do that on a normal central processing unit course for beginners, you will need more time and the most important fact, it’s not as funny as surfing on the Internet and so they participants are less stimulated.

Third step

In any case, everybody’s personal situation is dissimilar. For many women their own children are the main motive for stay at home. Nowadays this won’t be a dilemma anymore, you can do work on your computer at home, called tele-working. Also men take this occasion to work at home. What is the cost, the reward of tele-working? Sure, if you have a family, you can spend more time at home; most likely you can spend more time with your children. Next is, that you can arrange every day in the way you want to. Meetings at the company are condensed to a bare smallest amount. Tele-working is also an advantage for the owner of the company. Official studies substantiate that people who work at home are more stirred than their colleagues at the office. . Another advantage of the internet is that you can join a region. You can create new social contacts all over the planet, which you could not do so easy without the internet. Such communities can also help people who cannot go out to find friends in the real life because they are disabled. Therefore they can have a chat with other people via the internet. Sometimes it is also easier for people, who are afraid to look into the other’s face while chitchat, to chat with a person that they do not be acquainted with. There is something between them which makes it easier for them to communicate. It also does not matter if you have a terrible appearance because you can pretend to be whatever you want. You can also change your gender and your age to talk about topics which you do not normally do. However, there are no time and place limitations and there are no confines, both geographical and political. You can chat with people in Australia and you have freedom of your mind in a way. Moreover the internet is much cheaper than the real life, e.g. phoning a friend in Australia costs more than to chat with him.

Four step

From my point of view the e-mail has replace the conventional letter. You do not have to buy stamp anymore and it is much faster and also for free. You can also add files to your E-mail and that’s why a life-size data transfer is probable. Therefore you do not have to transmit disks with in sequence around the world anymore and you have your in sequence in a digital way. Another free overhaul of the internet is sending SMS. You can save a lot of money if you do not ship it with your mobile handset particularly from Austria to America. You also have the opening to register as a user. Then you can use more things, e.g. sending E-postcards, I-messages (messages between register users), and lead an address book. You can also place your digital photos in the internet. With a password and a login name your friends in America can look at your photos without distribution them to them. Another very significant part is online making a bet. You can play with people from all over the world and go halves your contact. In my opinion it’s more exiting to play with friends than playing alone. Additionally, another life-size lead of the internet is the easy right to use to in turn. Online reference books and dictionaries return the way to the bookshop or to the library. It is another time cheaper to investigate for in turn in the internet than to buy a book that is old after one year. In the internet a lot of in sequence is changed and up to date. You can also find in sequence which is very new and a book does not exist yet. Moreover you can read the daily newspapers from all over the world, now and then for free. You do not have to buy them anymore. In adding together, most newspaper sites have an archive in which you can investigate for old articles. However, the internet is also a big “advertising company”. A lot of enterprises have a homepage with ads and support opportunity. On some of them you can order products online. Then you do not have to go to the city anymore. You avoid for the future in front of the cash because of a long queue.

Five step

Moreover, you can get the newest stock swap over courses because the stock swap over in the Internet is always the most present one. You also have the ability to tell the computer to buy share when the way is down. Besides you can become skilled at with the internet. Cb Ts (Computer Based Training) already exist but you can also join an internet way with other members. Furthermore you can hold video conferences which mean that e.g. your teacher is session in his office in America and teaching you in Austria. This is very important in the medical sector because doctors from all over the world can join an operation. So specialist can give tips and help other health center to complete the operation fruitfully. The patient has not to wait until a specialist will come from America. But this is only available because of the internet 2 which is much faster. The internet is a database full of information and offers us a lot of forces, every now and then for free. This makes our life easier and sometimes also cheaper.

This is no more a speculation into security it is a fixed consumption which will not end. Some people even have to take up finance to buy a computer. They are affected to buy one. Otherwise they maybe would not be talented to stay in their job. What will the poor people do? They will be rarely conversant about news and the space between rich and underprivileged will become bigger and bigger. Having downloaded the newest anti-virus-program it will not put off meeting bad people on the internet. If you chat with someone you cannot be convinced about the truth of his/her words. Most people deceive emotions; cheat about their exterior, age, job. That can be amusing but if you want to meet someone discussion to each other seriously it can be hard to do so. Is it a man, is it a woman or is it someone I already know? You never can be sure. Is that something on the other side already hacking into my computer reading personal in sequence? If you get to a web site of a bank – is it a real bank or only a faked one? There have to be some signs which identify an original website constantly. How can I be sure if I want to buy something on the web and send my credit card-number that nobody will read it? Envision the following scene: You are surfing through the internet and suddenly – you are just downloading the latest screensaver of Verona Feldbusch – the whole internet breaks down. What would you do? Trying to build your own internet? Worrying about the lack of Verona? Sitting in front of the computer in the making for hours and looking into a black screen? Seriously, what would happen? I think most of the people would wait an hour or longer. Some people would stop active because they have no real life. They only exist on the internet with their avatars in the have chat rooms. They have given up reality for cyberspace. It is more practical for them because they do not need to ask someone to meet someone. The other one is just on the other end. Seriously outburst, I think people would not be glad about having to get out of their rooms. They feel uncomfortable about leaving their beloved computer. They do not know what to do. I think many even do not know any more how a book looks like or a typewriter. Besides losing our social abilities we are also losing our every-day-abilities. The computer is a nanny, a vocabulary, and in turn centres, a job, a shopping centre. Nobody has to know anything about everyday trade because the computer does it for us.
