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.”

Internet telephony (VoiP)
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:

One of the barriers to the wider adoption of Internet television is streaming technology, which can be of poor quality and high cost to the providers. As Internet television becomes more pervasive, efforts are made to develop the transmission of existing pay-TV channels to regular TV sets over the net, while retaining control over how the media is used. Such control is required in order to protect existing subscription and pay-per-view business models. Instant messaging services and chat system
Popular instant messaging services include Qnext, Windows Live Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, .NET Messenger Service, ICQ, and so on. A chat room or chatroom is an online system in which people can talk by broadcasting messages to people on the same site in real time. Chat rooms usually have rules that they require users to follow in order to maintain integrity and safety for their users. Particularly in rooms for children, rules usually do not allow users to use offensive language, or to promote hate, violence and other negative issues. Also chat rooms often do not allow advertising in their rooms or flooding, which is continually filling the screen with repetitive text. Chat systems come in a variety of styles ranging from text only messaging systems to fully immersive 3D environments. These are similar to the 2D variety except that they utilize 3D graphics. This allows a user a more realistic interaction with the environment. The most popular environments allow users to create or "build" their own spaces. However, some find these types of environments cumbersome to use and actually an impediment to chatting. Some people who visit chat rooms use them as a place to experience online sex, also known as cybersex. Talking without talking
