The Internet is a generic tool where no other form of your data exists in the universe, so the information you provide in Russia or Kenya is similar to the rest of the world despite being translated into multiple languages. Internet connections on cell phones, desktop computers, laptops, and now tablets called the iPad and Galaxy from major manufacturers have created an overwhelming impact on information technology.
Business transactions have become more convenient thanks to the Internet. Due to its accessibility, large commercial entities choose to advertise through it for the launch and promotion of certain products, upload information through it about market share, reviews, benefits and others, seeking money from consumers. Known as internet marketing, it has provided an inexpensive means of advertising that targets a wide audience group in such a short time to and from all points of the world. However, potential buyers face a number of limitations. Unlike shopping or shopping in commercial establishments where the purchase of such items is based on the perspectives of the buyers, Internet shopping does not guarantee satisfaction since you do not experience the limitations regarding how it feels, tastes, smells or fit a product.
Internet is considered as a portal of unlimited knowledge and is a preferred tool in research activities by students and teachers better than books and library. Over the years since its invention, library users and transactions have declined, and its decline is well documented. In 2002-2004, a large-scale study of academic and university libraries in the United States was conducted and revealed that reference transactions declined by 4.5 percent per year. Known as digital libraries, the Internet through search engines like Google and Yahoo provides information in seconds. Although sometimes unreliable compared to libraries, the Internet is preferred due to its quick access.
Communication has improved dramatically thanks to the Internet, as Skype and Yahoo Messenger led to interactive communication where both parties see each other on the computer monitor. Additionally, Internet providers have partnered with various cell phone companies for additional services such as SMS and Internet access, turning cell phones into Internet kiosks. Data, communication letters, images, documents and more can be sent, retrieved, stored and downloaded in seconds via email and other social networks compared to days with messaging services. In addition to being cost-effective, the Internet has provided a convenient, fast, and useful tool for communication.
The decrease in the use of the services of advertising companies, libraries and telephones is inevitable, since computers are a multi-tasking, cost-effective and time-efficient tool that is incomparable with other devices. Over time, it is not far from reality that libraries, telephones and other public services will disappear due to computers.
