Uses of the internet…

The internet is a useful resource for communication and commerce. It can be used as a research tool or for purely educational purposes.

Video sharing sites, web games and internet radio have made a large impact on entertainment markets.

With the advent of Web 2.0 social networking websites have become increasingly popular, offering an addictive means of keeping in touch, or just people watching.

As an educational tool the web has enormous potential, although care must be taken to ensure information is cross-referenced as the internet is a largely unregulated medium.

The internet has had a huge global effect on marketing and selling of goods through e-commerce systems and is arguably the biggest force in globalisation.
