Some people, such as Tom Standage in his book the Victorian Internet , even say that the web is bringing the world closer together. The web also allows research right from home. Libraries and many references are accessible through the web to make studying and research so much easier. The internet provides a wealth of information available at your fingertips. This makes the web very important to people of all ages.
Children nowadays research for their school projects online at a very young age.
The web supplies invaluable resources to college students, as well as others. The excitement of the web compares to the excitement of the telegraph. Once the telegraph took off, a huge network was being built. The ease of communication and the speed of the telegraph made people very excited about how fast it was compared to the postal service, much like now with the ease of communication over the web. In addition, many believed that these technologies could bring nations closer together and ultimately achieve world peace.
