         With the approach of the twenty-first century, we are now witnesses to major changes in technology and the impact these changes are having on our culture and work. Of these changes, one of the most important is that occurring in information technology, brought about advances in computers and networking. We are now able to communicate faster, to more places, and in more ways than ever before. These potentials, however, bring with them unanticipated difficulties as the speed and dispersion of information increase. The internet is one particular example of such an information challenge. This network of computers serves as a tool for instantly communicating complex information among millions of people all over the world. It is an information super highway which brings all the information together and store it in one big warehouse, which people from all over the world could store their own products in this warehouse and take out the products of other people and use it. It is a fast growing technology, which is taking a step forward each day. Indeed, it will become a neccessity in our communicative world. The growth of the internet and related information technologies is inevitable and has diverse technical and social implications.

         Hi! My name is Nancy Wong, I'm a junior majoring in Communication Science and Disorders in the University of South Florida. The honors program is a part of the curriculum of my educational career in USF. Major Works and Major Issues is a course that I am taking for the honors program this semester, and this homepage is the final project for this class. At the beginning of the semester, we were divided into groups to work on a major project related to the group topic or theme. And I've chosen to work on the internet project, because I was interested in how the internet is becoming more popular, and having a major impact on our study, work and entertainment. It is one of the most important means of communication between people from differenc parts of the world. I believe that the internet will become a part of everyone's life, and the time that we will be spending on the computer will be longer and longer. And yes, we might all become addicts one day.
