When television exploded onto the scene in the 1940-50’s, it provided much the same things the Internet is providing people today: entertainment and information. However, the Internet has certain advantages over television and, most importantly, it provides instant access to specific information. It is interactive, whereas television is not. Avid proponents of the Internet claim it could feasibly replace print media. The cost of publishing a newspaper or magazine online is far less than the cost of printing one. There is no need to purchase bulk paper and ink, which in itself makes publishing on the Internet more attractive. Moreover, not as many hired hands are required to publish online. Newspapers and other print media have yet to take full advantage of the Internet. Their online publications usually appear as carbon copies of their printed publications. There is no interactivity between the reader and the source. Advertisements online do not offer direct gratification. Yes, the Internet is indeed spectacular. There are several problems associated with the Internet. It allegedly opens the world to everyone, regardless of race, creed, sex, etc. But despite lowering costs of necessary technological equipment and the advent of Web TV, not everyone can afford to go online. The internet can be divided into six services: E-mail, Telnet, File Transfer Protocol, Usenet news, Mailing Lists, World Wide Web. The Web, as the World Wide Web (WWW) is commonly referred to, is witnessing a massive growth.

Объяснение:
Once there was a farmer who had a very old and thin cow. It didn't give much milk anymore, just a cup or two a day. The farmer's wife decided that they had to sell it. “Go to the market,” she said to her husband, “and sell our cow “But nobody will buy such an old cow!” said the farmer. "Well, tell everyone that she only looks old, but in reality, she is wonderful and gives us a lot of milk.” The farmer agreed. He stood with the cow all day long at the market telling unbelievable stories about the wonderful cow. His love for the cow grew with his own stories, and by the end of the day he started believing in them. When no one bought the cow, he said to himself, "Why did I even decide to sell such a fantastic cow?” and went home happy.
