Information Alexandra Andrews , Eileen Pichersky and Sandra Stark Cancerlinks LLC Think of the Internet as a world wide library with unlimited resources of information. There are tremendous advantages. You are not bound by office hours and can go to a web site 24 hours per day. If you are housebound or bedridden you can use the Internet. When you are sick and a telephone call may be intrusive, email is a convenient option.
Time differences are immaterial.
You can be in contact with anyone all over the world. The Internet embodies the egalitarian ideal of non-discrimination. It does not discriminate on the basis of education, color, age, sex, sexual orientation, or disability. No matter how tiny a town or how isolated an area, the Internet is there. The smallest library can have connection to the rest of the world.
