Today, the Internet has a great impact on society, allowing users to have
greater accessibility to social networks, as well as searching for information
using the most popular search engines such as thematic directories and search
engines such as Google.
Likewise, allowing navigation through the different pages that allow you to
download files related to the searched topics. It also allows to meet people from
other countries with the most known networks such as: Twitter, Facebook,
Messenger among others.
The Internet is the "network of networks" that uses TCP / IP as its
communication protocol. It is also defined as a network of computers that are
interconnected worldwide to share information.
Its origins date back to 1969, when the first computer connection was
established, known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Network
Networks), between three universities in California (United States) ARPANET
was totally financed by the US government with the objective of being a
communication network immune to any Russian attack.
One of the most successful services on the Internet has been the World Wide
Web (WWW or the Web). The WWW is a set of protocols that allows, in a
simple way, remote consultation of hypertext files. this was developed in 1990
and from there I start the internet.
According to Manuel Castells, the internet is much more than a technology. It is
a means of communication, interaction and social organization
Also according to Bill Gates the internet provides the right information, at the
right time, for the right purpose.
Also, because of the changes in technology in the evolution of the internet we
ask ourselves: What innovations can we expect in terms of applications and
services?
The Internet will seek to enable connection services with various technologies
(optical fiber, satellite and LiFi, among others) at speeds much higher than
those currently available.
Google has defined seven points to consider for the development of the internet
in the future:
• A mobile Internet that provides connections to more and more devices.
• An omnipresent network where all points of the planet have access.
• High-speed navigation with large bandwidths;
• Cloud computing operating 24x7

advertising represents 25 percent of the total
• Real-time availability of all public and private services; for example: Millions of
people daily share photographs, videos, opinions, documents and all kinds of
content
•Social networks: According to Deloitte, 94% of businesses will increase their
investments in social networks, advertising and online communities.
For example: Facebook has more than 450 million users, Twitter exceeds 115
million, Google Buzz is available for more than 175 million users, and YouTube
sees more than 100 million videos every day.
The internet also allows us to communicate with family or friends who are in
other countries or cities through a video call (for example, Skype or Whatsap,
research and learn: libraries, museums and free books through the network.
It also has disadvantages in the use that society gives to it as many students do
not study, they only download information they copy and paste, some users
spend a lot of time alone with the computer and it is a problem and it is a
problem and it is the main source of piracy.
In conclusion the Internet is very important nowadays for people since it is easy
to access, internet allows access to different social networks, it’s easier to send
jobs by email, avoiding a waste of time and therefore, the Internet is the most
accessible means of communication.
