It was first used by the U.S Army in the late 60’s as a super-power competition in the cold war between the American and the Russians. It was called at that time the Web. Later on, this means of communication was shared by people throughout the world. The Internet provides many advantages. It saves time: instead of moving to most libraries to get some information waiting too much time, you can jut sit in front of your computer and search all connected libraries in a very short moment. You can also chat with other people to make friends from different countries and nationalities. Moreover, you can do your shopping via the Internet. 1.
