Internet, one of the technologies that can not be separated from the development in the present era. Humans of different age are not even familiar with this one technology. From rural to urban was really the internet is rampant for various purposes, such as the transmission of data, news, even to the event to get extra income. Short internet practically become necessities in this century.
Internet development started in 1940 and was only just connecting two points of inter-governmental institution with the campus alone. Then developed and the more computers are connected kejaringan and finally there are hundreds and even thousands of computers connected to the network, the network is called the Internet. In 2000 the Internet to reach its heyday, Along with the times to the modern technological era. almost everyone competing to have the domain names that do business on the internet, also increasing Internet users around the world.
The Internet has made a new revolution in the world of computer and communications world is not unprecedented. Some findings telegraph, telephone, radio, and computers is a series of scientific work that led to the creation of the Internet is more integrated and more capable than these tools. Internet have the ability to broadcast to the world, has a mechanism for information dissemination, and as a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals with the computer without being limited by geographical conditions.
Recently, the United States reached the point where computer sales higher than television (Powell, 1995). In addition, research has shown that the use of personal computers began mangambil television over the role (Lieberman, 1995). It seems we quickly move on to the concept of active users, multimedia, new communication environment that. One feature of the new media environment is the recognition that all information is the same-all digital (Powell).
The development of a very fast Internet eventually become the most important part in the economic field. Today e-commerce (commerce via the Internet) began to play an important role in our lives. A study conducted by the University of Texas in 1999 showed that e-commerce becomes a major force in our society. Total $ 350 billion allocated for the Internet economy in 1998 (Gloss, 1999). In just five years since the introduction of the Word Wide Web, Intenet economic level with the existing sector like energy ($ 223 billion), automobile (4350 billion) and telecommunications (4270 billion) (report Indicators, 1999).
Internet is also getting some criticism. Sven Birkets essayist argues that the change from print culture to electronic culture will lead to the impoverishment of language. He stated that the electronic communication leads to the use of "plain language" as in a telegram (Birkets, 1994). He predicted that we will see a reduction in the use of subtle forms of language such as ambiguity, contradiction, irony, and humor.
But whether the use of the Internet is able to provide a positive benefit, or even could have a negative impact on its users still have not been determined, as outlined above there are many positive benefits gained from the use of Internet media, but there are also some negative impacts that can be experienced by users of the Internet.
So, anyway back to us as users who use Internet important role, whether it will be good or bad influence on the internet that our lives each. I hope that whatever the technology, including the Internet can provide a better impact for life, in addition to adverse effects caused.
