The Social Benefits of the Internet
•
The Internet brings people closer together. Before
the Internet, it was possible to keep in touch with
relatives and friends across the country or around
the world--but it was also expensive.
•
Today, communicating with a friend in Japan is as
easy and cheap as communicating with a friend
across town, and families regularly use the Internet
to keep in touch with far-flung relatives.
•
Millions of people with shared interests--no matter
how obscure--exchange information and build
communities through Web sites, email and instant-
messaging software.
The social benefits of the Internet
•
Using innovative accessibility aids, people with
disabilities can use the Internet to help overcome
barriers that prevent them from leading more
productive and fulfilling lives.
•
Telemedicine applications can use Internet to
transmit detailed medical images, as well as for
videoconferencing to connect healthcare clinics in
remote rural locations with experts and
specialists located primarily in urban centres.
•
Telemedicine and e-Health are broadly defined as
the application of electronic communication
technologies to the provision of healthcare,
health education and health services.
•
Telemedicine applications can allow health care
professionals to monitor a patient’s health
remotely and, using videoconferencing
technologies can have access to critically needed
specialists.
•
The most prominent example of how the Internet
has resulted in innovative new services is the
development of VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol).
•
VoIP allows high quality two-way voice
transmission over broadband connections, and is
already revolutionizing the telecommunications
industry.
•
Smart Homes: Homeowners can utilize
broadband technologies to control the electronic
devices in the home remotely. Lighting, heating
and air conditioning, appliances, and home
security and other systems can now be remotely
monitored and controlled.
•
E-government has become the prime tool for
supporting government functions and interaction
with citizens and businesses.
The Internet serves as a powerful tool for connecting people globally, facilitating communication, supporting individuals with disabilities, advancing healthcare through telemedicine, and enabling innovative services like VoIP and smart home technologies. It enhances relationships, promotes accessibility, and revolutionizes various sectors, ultimately fostering a more interconnected and inclusive society.
