When we view the ubiquity of the internet around us today, we find it hard to believe that it is barely thirty years old. It was invented in the USA to allow various
computers to communicate with each other, an improvement upon the limited
possibilities of the physical linking of computers prevalent then.
Begun in 1990, the World Wide Web (www) is among the principal services
available on the internet, and has had a major impact on how we use this facility.
With almost countless websites in numerous languages, www has become the most
popular content provider in the world, with a host of search engines to facilitate
navigation.
In fact, it is not uncommon today to even measure progress in a region or country,
using the yardstick of internet access among the population. However, in this
respect, India presents an interesting case where the soaring numbers of users often mask the digital divide between the literate minority and the large, illiterate masses.
Nonetheless, while educationists now have bold plans to exploit the internet to the
hilt towards the spread of literacy in the country, the availability of hardware and IT
skills are a stumbling block, compounded by the huge number of computer-illiterate that defies all planning within a foreseeable time frame.
Yet, we can only marvel at the internet for all that it can accomplish at the click of a mouse.
