- I chose to research how the Internet has greatly enhanced means of
communication for individuals world wide.
- I was inspired by my overly dependence on the use of networking sites,
email, as well as instant messaging for communicating better with
friends, classmates, and especially family members.

- Communicating with people might’ve been a troublesome ordeal before the
Internet became astonishingly popular. In the past decades, we had to
worry about costly phone bills when calling out of state, keeping up
with writing letters that sometimes failed to be sent or delivered on
time, or waiting for returned phone calls for days on end. Online
communication has definitely eliminated these barriers.

- http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
- This website was the only website that provided me with numbers and
data on just how much the Internet impacts worldwide.
- Helped to make my point that communication resources are available for
free and could explain the massive user population
- http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/2005/internet_communications.aspasdg
- This website was text based. It offered definitions as well as
processing procedures for different types of internet communications
(instant messaging, email, video conferencing, telephony, etc).
- Strengthened one of my points: Not only does the Internet have
advantages for communication, it offers a number of different ways to
go about it.

- This was another website that strengthened one of my points about
communication through video conferencing.
- It was actually written by the president of Bio Properties, Lou
Nimkoff, who utilized this option and testified that it was extremely
helpful, convenient, and a money saver.

library.

- “Web conferencing technology is user-friendly and relatively cheap. It's
easy to install, and only one person has to have the software--everyone
else can log in for free. Major providers are WebEx (www.webex.com) and
GoToMeeting (www.gotomeeting.com). Monthly charges are between $39 and
$49, depending on the payment plan. Neither company has a setup fee.”
- “With Web conferencing, in five minutes, I was able to get everyone
online, looking at the same spreadsheet. We all started reviewing the
numbers, making changes, and within a half hour we all agreed to go
forward with the deal.”

- “Like all technologies (and especially technology tied to the Internet),
the way we can communicate online is constantly evolving . In this
week's "Did You Know...?" article we'll take a look at some of
the most popular forms of Internet-based communications.”
- The article was thorough and in-depth and definitely aided my research
by providing this type of information

- The Internet is ever evolving and emerging. Because of its dynamics, we
are able to enjoy the conveniences and advantages of its products and
amenities. Technology is the new face of society and the Internet, being
expansive as it is, enables people all around the world to communicate
together to share ideas, meet new people, connect with old friends, get
work done, or to just vent to those willing to listen, in a faster and
more expedient process.
