You have to put in a lot of thought and - let's face it - some work to reach your audience and build a successful career. Internet is a big network which is formed by connecting multiple small networks. It is a platform for all the users which are connected to it. Internet act as platform and involves different fields. Such as: Internet as a collaboration platform. Internet as a online entrepreneurship platform. Internet as education platform. Internet as a online money transaction platform. Internet as a news and latest event describer platform. Technology is always a historical social project: it is projected what a society and its ruling interests intend to do with men and things". We connect to the world as individuals on a computer looking at a screen, once connectivity is established to a network we have access to unlimited data from other computers. Cyber Space has replaced reality; we now have the ability to engage with objects of physical materiality.
