=B) Current News=

Current news for the World Wide Web has been modified daily to adjust to the people who use it. Current news today can be things such as contacting family from two different locations in the world, hacking, and wi-fi advances. These days, you don't always see people using pagers or sending as much mail to people. You would usually see people using e-mail and phones with Internet. There are iPhone's and Droids that are out today and are getting more and more advanced every day. People nowadays are on the go with their Internet on their phones so that they can check their e-mails and have wireless entertainment with them basically 24/7. Today, most people can't leave home without it. In addition, "hacking" has been a problem over the past few years. As a matter of fact, a hacking group called Anon has been messing with many public websites and government websites such as FOX.com and FBI.gov. Anon, while hacking the websites, rearranged them, added information that was false, as well as putting "inappropriate" images on the website homepages. The hacking was to hinder things like SOPA and ACTA projects, as well as giving notoriety to Anon. This is a very big problem in the world because these hackers can also upload or send sensitive information from countries to other countries or governments.

=Areas of Impact=

====Education has had a pretty basic meaning to it. However, now that we have the World Wide Web, things have been changing. Now students are able to stay at home and take an entire class on their computer. They can learn everything they need to know just with the computer in front of them. This has become a very popular thing nowadays. Even if it isn't the best thing.Students in classrooms have easier access when it comes to researching things. The web has actually been a lot of help for education. However, the things we find on the web today aren't always correct. Schools have bought programs with all true information on it to stop that though. The Web has also made it easier for students to receive information for homework, projects, etc.The World Wide Web has changed the world of Education significantly. For one, students now have access to research anything for their classes. Some schools now are really technology-based and use a lot of programs to help students keep organized, study, learn, etc. The World Wide Web is also useful in education because a lot of jobs require people to have the knowledge to use computers and all the different programs and software. These have just been some types of education with recent years of technology. ====





=**//D) Government, Politics and Employment//**=



 The World Wide Web has changed many things over the past few years. One thing that the government has done that impacted the WWW was outsourcing and in-sourcing with major countries around the world like China, Europe, and Asia.  Politics have changed by giving us the ability to video-chat. In other words, a form of face-to face talk, without actually being face-to-face.  For example, you can video chat with people on different sides of the world, no matter what time it is. This has become very efficient when dealing with foreign countries.  Another big impact was and is the way you find jobs. As we all know the employment rate in America has taken huge dive and it has been very difficult to recover. One possible solution might be that you can find a job online that most likely and will, make your lifestyle a lot more simpler at the comfort of your home.  Where can you find these jobs? You can find these jobs through sites like Craigslist. Something you should know, employers are now able to check the internet and see what an employee has been doing or saying. It could either help you, if you are doing good things that make you look professional. That or increase the chances of you getting fired for having inappropriate things that could make your work place look unsuitable. The WWW has helped many businesses, big and small, to grow and prosper with the rest of the world. It has helped them keep in touch with their clients, who are over seas. The WWW has made collaborating with employers more easy with iPhones and iPads.

E) Arts, Entertainment and Leisure
The world wide web has greatly changed our society. The Internet consists of many different websites that make leisure, arts, and entertainment more interesting. Entertainment is also another popular factor that makes Internet usage so popular. Social networking websites like Facebook, and Twitter, can make leisure time fun. Video chatting with friends with the use of apps like Skype and Face time takes virtual world to the extreme.

As time goes on, manufacturers are trying to incorporate Internet to any technologies possible. For example, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox can be connected to the Internet so that gamers can virtually interact with other gamers around the world. It is a place where there are thousands of games that are available on millions of various sites.

Arts, entertainment and leisure have always been around, but before the World Wide Web, when people wanted to seek entertainment they had to go out to movies, the theater, or just go outside. Although going out to the movies and other similar activities are still quite popular today, the web is full of ways to entertain people.They can watch anything on the computer!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14.5px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Science is one of those subjects that you NEED to research a lot; without the Internet, that just isn’t possible. The easier scientists can access information they need, the easier it is for them to come up with new discoveries and advance the world. With that, this world relies so much on the Web for endless of things. Households, libraries, schools,and hospitals are all different environments that has had an impact because of the web. Using the Internet could save trees.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14.5px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A large part of the population uses the Internet to learn what they need to know about their own health. For example, people want to know their BMI. People rely on the Internet to give them these answers. That has a positive affect on health because knowing things about your health can actually save your life. Although, the web can have a negative impact on your health too. It’s not healthy to stare at a computer screen for too long. That’s how the world is now, teens spend half their life on social networking sites and it causes many problems; such as bullying.
