The importance of the Internet lies not only in its providing information, but connecting people who have a common interest. Because of the multiple voices and lack of a control or censorship, the Net has been best described as the first functioning anarchy. There is no chance, however, that we will arrive at the point when everything is so well documented via cyberspace that there is no need to make the journey ourselves. Travel information on the Internet will benefit areas that have traditionally not received mainstream coverage. Travel providers and travel destinations in Latin America are either creating their own pages on the World Wide Web or contracting other businesses to do that for them.
Internet represents a radical paradigm shift in communications.
I don't use this term lightly. Internet represents a way to connect people with people - not people to information. It can be and should be a lively forum for an interchange of ideas among humans - with all of our merits and faults. When radio was first invented, it was used by ham operators, department stores, governments, and community groups. In the United States, the cacophony of competing radio signals led to the creation of the FCC under the Presidency of Woodrow Wilson.
