Abstract: The Internet as synonym for modern information and communication technology is entering all areas of life. We chat and we download music, movies, etc. We check on weather, road condition, schedule of trains and stock-market rates. We make holiday plans visiting nicely looking beach environments. We look for latest fashion, buy and bargain on special offers We do flight booking, send birthday greetings and distribute jokes. The Internet is becoming a well accepted “normal” environment. And the development goes on. The mobile phone is becoming integral part of the Internet environment. No Friday evening appointment without short message (SMS), no party without sending some digital pictures to friends. And in future no chat without voice, no discussion forum without video transmission. So it is clear - we go Internet.
