However it will be more directed to our traditional Gonzaga student, who has that normal personal computer and used normally to navigate through the Internet and would like to

know how the Internet influenced our society and their lives. This forum paper has a very simple language for easy understanding for anyone who is not familiar with the Internet. 2.Introduction One of the most revolutionizing inventions of the century is the computer. Nowadays the computer is an accessory indispensable in everyone’s lives. Who hasn’t used a computer before? They are used everywhere, from banks, companies, and industries to restaurants, schools and hospitals. But do you know computers are more used for the Internet. According to an article published in an Internet page, “The future of computers”, 65% of the time the computer is used for the Internet. But what is the Internet? Internet according to Oxford Dictionary is: “a system of connected computers

that allows computer users around the world to exchange information.” Nowadays, one third of the world has access to Internet, isn’t that amazing! I consider the Internet the third revolution. More than half of all the profit made by nearly every company, business, or entertainment has been made through the Internet. In my forum paper I will discuss and evaluate the influence that the Internet has had in our society. I will give the main points where the Internet has influenced: communication, education, and businesses. It will also include an interview of an expert in Internet and an survey with Gonzaga University students to know their opinion about the future of Internet. However I will also point the negatives points of the Internet: creation of a false economy, access to

restricted information and the damaged hackers have made to the Internet that has affected lives of many people. 3.1 Influence in Business Internet has changed forever the way business is done. According to US trade market, the Internet makes nearly half of all the business done in the US. People have seen that it is much easier to buy through the Internet. We spend less time and don’t have to walk the entire mall to find the cheapest price. From your computer, you research the cheapest price and in a few days you will have it at your home. Isn’t that easy? Internet has become a very important tool in business if not the most important. It has decreased distances; we now can buy things from the other side of the world. For example, my father works in a high tech company that

needed a piece, to construct their new car, which was only found in Japan. So the first thing he thought to buy the piece in less time and cheaper by the Internet. Nowadays we have companies that only operate through the Internet and have a bigger profit than normal companies. For example, Yahoo, one of the most famous companies in the Internet, makes a bigger profit than the Ford Company. However, all this has a bad part. Some economists have been asking themselves, how does a company that has 20 years of existence and doesn’t exist in reality only in a computer gain more than the Ford Company that has been around for nearly one hundred years? Some economists are afraid that what Internet is creating is a false economy, where you see no money just Internet interactions. The
