7.One of the main creators of the World Wide Web Sir Tim Berners-Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.
He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet,"A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths,or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way."In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging.Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog.This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.
He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.It's interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科)has had to take steps to prevent false information being added to the biographies of living people.It's easy for anybody to edit the open source.However,some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards,Wikipedia has sought to stop publishing the false material.
At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work.The last two years has seen a big growth in the use of the Internet.There appears no slow-down in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries.Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody.Sir Tim was recently launching a new joint initiative(倡议)between Southampton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in web science.The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.
