Sharing information quickly (Part 2)

 The internet slowly developed the WWW (World Wide Web) to store information on websites and allow users to browse through them to help answer their questions. With this feature it allowed people to easily and very quickly access information such as news or historical events. Websites such as Wikipedia do a good job for this. Although, some information isn’t always truthful, as some websites such as wiki answers (where people ask questions and other users answer), because it is another person’s answer and they not even be right, or it may even be really biased and opinion based. The WWW is also accessible via phone, meaning people can portably look up information or upload their own anywhere they like, making the internet browsing quick and smooth. This does have its flaws though, as global wireless internet such as 3G doesn't always have good connection, as it is stronger in urban areas rather than country sides, however, most restaurants and public houses' have Wi-Fi connection, so internet isn't always too difficult to get.


Social websites and other programs allow file transfer, meaning people can easily transfer files to one another with great speed dependant on the internet connection and the size of the file. Emails are another reliable method to send information quickly and successfully, as they can hold not only text, but also attachments containing files such as videos or pictures. E-mails are a reliable way to send information quickly as they will most likely be sent every time, only the time it takes to send is the problem, as receiving a large file can be difficult if they have bad internet connection.

On the topic of speed, an internet connection speed is very important as it can determine how your experience with the internet can be; an example of speed is the fact of having two ways to connect your devices to the network, Wi-Fi or cable. Cable is typically 3 -4 times faster than Wi-Fi, as it is a physical connection to the device and the router, whereas Wi-Fi is very dependent on your distance from the router, if you’re closer to the router internet will be noticeably stronger (but still not as strong as  cable), and vice versa. A faster internet connection can result in more efficient streaming of videos and music, and more likely to send instant Email.
