In my previous discussion about world wide web, I came to a point which includes importance of world wide web which made me start this discussion. I think it will be interesting and also knowledgeable to discuss what makes world wide web so important.
So what are the features of world wide web that makes really it really special to everybody? Well let me start with few and see if you can agree with me.
I think world wide web is different from other mode of communications. It has the capabilities of communicating your ideas in the ways which is not possible with traditional communication methods. It has he capabilities to customize the presentation of your works to the individual needs of those consuming your information. You can receive feedback from same those consumers/ So the information and presentation of information can be modified to meed the changing needs.
What do you say? lets come up with some more reasons. These will surely give us some knowledge.

Yea you are right... what about the cost factor? I think web cost much lower than other modes of communications. Think of publishing paper or magazine which needs papers, ink and type setting. Printing cost is very high if more graphics are used. The web on other hand allows to ignore the distribution cost. Sharing information on website is very cheap compared to other modes.

Yes.. as you said it saves lots of our time and money. One of the interesting characteristics of web is that it supports multimedia. Although, originally designed to display to text and in-line graphics, now the newer browser support audio, video, animation and much more. You can now stream and watch anything live that is being broadcast some where in other part of the planet.

My personal opinion of why the world wide web is so important is because of the fact that it has made the world a much smaller place than it was before a lot of people had access to the internet.
What I mean is these days I can just connect to the internet and almost immediately be talking to someone that is around the world from me. In addition to that, I can also easily access information that might have taken me days to access otherwise.
