In the education there is a special focus on the usage of information technology and, especially, Internet. The School-Net project makes new technologies available from the age of 7, even for the small locations of the land. One reason for having a low percentage of Internet users is the lack of Hungarian language contents. Of course, there are many good homepages, a few Hungarian search engines, one online magazine and some efforts to prepare commercial resources, but there are very few professional content developers. Although the idea of Internet is well known, it has not achieved to find a well-defined place in the everyday culture.
Internet is like a curiosum for the most people and institutions.
There are few people who use it as a standard way for systematic information processing tool. More usage is related to communication but opportunities are not exploited as far as it could be. In my personal opinion it will take a few years until Internet finds the right place in the Hungarian society, economy and culture. This will mean more professionalism, more user who are better educated, having well-defined goals and can exploit the opportunities much more than now. I travelled to Germany as many others.
