Internet in our lives

Internet more and more embedded in our lives. Currently the number of users who regularly uses the Internet, is about 1.5 billion people, which represents about a quarter of the population of the Earth, and studies show today the Internet is a quarter of inhabitants of Russia, and about 5-7% of them do it every day. And every day the number of users of the world wide web is increasing. Our entire culture is becoming more dependent on this technology, and it is not surprising that some people have a problem with the fact that they spend too much time on the Internet. As at present, technology is developing at a very rapid pace, and to connect to the Internet via radio channels, satellites, cable TV, telephone, cellular communication, a special fiber optic lines or electricity. The world wide web have become an integral part of people's lives around the world.
To achieve such popularity as the Internet earlier the mass media was so much more time, for example, radio took 38-40 years, television in 13 years, and the Internet has reached an audience of over 50 million users in just 5 years. With the increasing popularity of the Internet has manifested and negative aspects of its application. In particular, some people are so addicted to virtual space, what are beginning to prefer the Internet reality, spending at the computer to 18 hours a day. In fact, there are many such people, I know some people who are simply impossible "to tear" from the computer, they sit all day, all night on the Internet and nothing does not affect them. Psychological based, Internet addiction is compared with drug - physiological dependence on narcotic substances, where there is a mental component. Internet addiction is defined as a compulsive desire to connect to the Internet and painful inability time to disconnect from the Internet. According to various studies, Internet-dependent today are about 10 % of users around the world. Russian psychiatrists believe that now in our country such 4-6 %.
Modern Internet has many social and cultural facets. The Internet provides a wide technical opportunities for communication. It is a universal global information environment, as the Internet is relatively easy to find people with similar interests and views on the world, and communication in the network to start psychologically much easier than in a personal meeting with a man, therefore, created and developed web-community - groups of people with shared interests and communicating mainly through the Internet, for example, football fans create sites, fan clubs, devoted to his favorite team, where people can get acquainted, communicate, discuss games, etc. And such communities are many, therefore, these online communities are beginning to play an important, tangible role in the life of the whole society. Dissemination of information on the Internet is almost the same nature as and rumors in the social environment. If your information is of great interest, it is widely distributed and very quickly if there is no interest and no it does not spread.
The fact that the Internet is an integral part of our life, is indisputable. But are there people or not, how often people visit Internet or have not visited what sites are visited and why - in these and other questions, I decided to look through the study of theoretical material and Express-poll.

To date, approximately one-third of the adult population has access to the Internet. Although, the majority of people who have access to the Internet is of course young people aged from 16 to 25(57%), also not far behind and adult generation(42%), while our grandparents and almost do not know how to use a computer, although recently launched training courses for pensioners in training work at the computer, documents, Internet, so that they are not to be bored and to be closer to the younger generation to understand them.
To the question: "Where do you usually go online?" the vast majority of people said that uses the Internet at home is 50%. A rather high percentage (30% - accessing the Internet at work. The third part is a 9% have access in visiting friends. Other places of Internet use - Internet-cafe (7%) and educational institutions (4%)- not so much popular. I believe that Internet cafes are not so many, they appeared relatively recently, and it is not profitable. As for educational institutions, on the one hand is very convenient, but few people enjoy the possibility of Internet access.



Today the situation is such that more and more people are turning to the Internet as a source of diverse information, so a positive attitude to the Internet in General had expressed more than half of respondents - 61%. Neutral spoke 18%. Negatively to the Internet 21% domesticated form.

Interesting research results regarding the level of trust of people to information posted on the Internet. 75% tend to trust the information obtained there, 20% belong to the information with a grain of salt, the remaining 5% of respondents trust, but not each keeping to the opinion of "Trust but verify". Given the General skeptical orientation toward mass media as a source of truthful information, this percentage seems to be, in my opinion, is very high. When comparing Internet with other media, respondents expressed the most trust in the advertising information in the Internet. I believe that this advertising medium has not yet managed to compromise himself and does not cause such explicit negative emotions.
Approximately 15% of the Russians use the services of a global network for information, preferring this source television, radio and other media, referring to the fact that it is faster, more convenient, cheaper, etc.
Most often use Internet as an information source, i.e. narrow search information - 99%,- as a means of communication (e-mail, business communication, data transmission) - 96%, for personal contacts and acquaintances (chat rooms, communication on interests, different forums, Dating sites) - 93%. Also popular is the use of the Internet for games and entertainment (including entertainment for adults only) - 78%, as an educational tool (as an additional tool in the educational process, for training) - 77%. Less frequently users are self-expression on the Internet (creating their own websites, participation in various collective creative projects or debates and conferences) - 40%use it for common development (improvement of the cultural level, browsing different websites without a specific purpose and so on) - 41%. Approximately 77% of the users use the Internet for work or study, 44% for e-mail and news reader. Every fifth user goes on the Internet just for chatting and watching movies.
More than half of Russia's population (54%) recognize that the Internet is having a major impact on many spheres of life. 19% of respondents see it as only a toy and a fashion. I think that the Internet is an integral part of our lives and everyone finds on the Internet something - someone talks to you, some people learn, books, reading, children play games, adults also play only on the exchange, because each person has their own interests and objectives. In this essay I tried to study and reflect modern attitude to Internet-based conducted a rapid survey.
