According to Reuters (July 16, 2004), British-born scientist Tim
Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web, has been knighted by the Queen of Great
Britain. On account of his revolutionary invention he said: “The original
idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can
communicate through sharing information. There was a time when people felt
the Internet was another world, but now people realize it's a tool that we
use in this world.”
From its birthday, the web-based new technologies are changing everything – how we communicate, get our news, play, shop, etc. At present, Internet in North America has more than 175 millions users, in Asia more then 200 millions, in Europe more than 170 million of users. Life is changing every day. Now we have streaming video on the desktop computer, television shows on your cell phone, video game consoles allow you to play with competitors halfway around the world.
Today we can speak about High Tech Internet, the huge virtual world, which includes wireless internet, perfect video and audio communication tools, many information banks of data about everything, different kind of the search engines and much, much more.
Internet telephony (VoiP)
Internet
telephony is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or
through any other IP-based network. Protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are
commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols.
Traditional voice networks utilized circuit-switching technologies. Effectively, a pair of wires is used to connect one party to the other, completing an electrical "circuit". With packet-switching, traditionally used by IP based networks such as the internet to transmit data, voice signals are broken down into tiny "packets" of digital data, sent and then reassembled at the receiving end. Internet telephone traffic can be deployed on any IP network and a local area network. This telephone system can facilitate tasks that may be more difficult to achieve using traditional phone networks:
-
Incoming phone calls can be automatically routed to your VoIP phone, regardless of where you are connected to the network. Take your VoIP phone with you on a trip, and wherever you connect to the Internet, you can receive incoming calls.
-
Free phone numbers for use with VoIP are available in the USA, UK and other countries from organizations such as VoIP User.
-
Call center agents using VoIP phones can work from anywhere with a sufficiently fast Internet connection.
