Development of Internet in India:
India was a latecomer to the Internet. The reasons are low PC penetration and lack of infrastructure and high Internet costs. This scenario changed soon enough, and Internet usage grew at an exponential rate. Cyber cafes played a key role in making the Internet accessible, which helped a great deal. Web-development outfits sprouted first in Bangalore and Hyderabad, and soon in other parts of India. The downturn in software development too proved to be a spin-off factor, prodding more Indians towards the web stream. The number of India's Internet users is forecasted to reach 50 million by 2004. According to a recent national survey, 55% of young Indians are opting for careers in web-related activities (design, integration, web services, content writing, database integration, e-commerce etc). Not surprisingly, India is now a potent hub for web-development.
India is gearing up its web expertise in a big way, but just how good are its web-shops? India's web gurus have moved far beyond amateur web designing. Developing a great site means much more than adding fancy graphics, killer designs, or sticky content. Any web-guy in India will tell you that these are all necessary factors in site design, but the key to successful web designing is the technology and the idea that it is built on. Web-shops are therefore picky about the expertise and capabilities of people who work with them. They keep up-to date about trends in their field, and can be often found to be on online lists and forums, discussing the finer points of Java, J2EE and client-server technologies. India's web shops are probably the best in the world, and improving constantly.
The Internet grew at a fast pace in the 1990s as the general population discovered the power of the new medium. A significant portion of the Net's content is written text; in the form of both electronic mails (E-mail) and articles posted in an electronic discussion forum known as the Usenet news groups. In the mid-1990s the appearance of the World Wide Web made the Internet even more popular. The Web is a multimedia interface that allows for the transmission of text, pictures, audio, and video together, known as Web pages, which commonly resemble pages in a magazine. Together these various elements have made the Internet a medium for communication and for the retrieval of information on virtually any topic.
Our resources were of course search engines and people who use cyber media in their profession. New technologies have made life very easier and cyber media has bridged all the gaps. We can talk on Internet; we can read newspapers, listen to radio, watch televisions along with this there are numerous ways today through which we utilize the cyber media.
Beside these, I also designed the layout of our website http://cybertrendz.waydzone.com, which is related to our research. In the website we have covered every aspect of our research and made it in very simple manner including graphics so that it is easily understood and is attractive on the other hand.
