The Internet, To Infinity And Beyond
The Internet has come to embody the wide spectrum of 
interests, faiths, beliefs, ideas, and knowledge for 
human beings across the globe. First an experiment by 
techno wizards and computer geeks, the Internet has 
grown so enormously in the last two decades, with 
email addresses and web urls increasingly mentioned in 
daily conversation. The Internet in its incubation and 
formative years, was loudly touted as the first 'free 
medium' of communication, free of the censures, 
dictates, conformities, and restrictions of other 
mediums of expression, that have become entrenched in 
tradition.
One of the greatest assets of the web is its multimedia 
presentation capabilities where information once solely 
relegated to separate modes of expression, via print, 
artwork, movie, video, and face-to-face conversations, 
are all readily available and accessible through one 
medium: the Internet. With such versatility, it is no 
wonder that the Internet has grown in popularity in 
leaps and bounds, with even famous multimedia giants 
in the entertainment industry such as the famous 
Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg being quoted as 
saying: "I think that the Internet is going to effect the 
most profound change on the entertainment industries 
combined. And we're all gonna be tuning into the most
popular Internet show in the world, which will be 
coming from some place in Des Moines.
We're all going to lose our jobs. We're all gonna be on 
the Internet trying to find an audience." A question 
frequently posed by both visitors and web hosts alike, is 
has the internet simplified our lives? The answer is more 
complex than it would appear.
Shopping or browsing for more information on virtually 
any topic, has becoming incredibly convenient via the 
Internet. Whole libraries and books of information, once 
only accessible via print copies, are now readily 
available on the Internet, and downloadable to the 
desktop of your computer.
Internet technology has spawned a whole new 
generation of technology, hardware, and software with 
PDAs,MP3 players, streaming audio and video files, 
gaming software, eBay auctions, and so much more, 
now accessible via the click of a mouse. With 
information available on any topic now via the Internet, 
the potential for human communication, connection, 
and development has far surpassed any other form of 
media.
A child growing up in this era of change, is more likely to 
know the name of the website of his or her favorite 
singer than the name of classic children's story tales. 
This and other "free accessibility" features are of 
concern to many parents who fear that the high 
prevalence of pornography, scams, and advertising on 
the Internet, will unduly affect the moral character of 
their children. The Internet is thus being 'reamed in' or 
questioned for parental controls and creation of 
'restricted site access' to prevent such accessibility and 
its after-effects upon children.
