The main advantages and characteristics of the Internet
1. resource sharing: the internet allows people all over the world to share resources, save costs to the maximum extent and improve efficiency.
2. Beyond time and space: chatting online, watching movies online, and watching distance education online are not limited by time and space. If you attend an English training class, you need to send it there and then pick it up, which takes time and cost, and you may worry about safety. In addition, you must arrive before the training begins. On the contrary, online distance education does not need this. If a person or a company is smart enough, it can use the characteristics of the Internet beyond time and space to put goods on the Internet, which means that products can be marketed globally beyond time and space, and are not restricted by any country or region. Do Americans want to buy your products or open a branch in America? Similarly, do you want American e-commerce to open a branch office in China when buying products from American e-commerce? The Internet doesn't need to do this, because it transcends time and space. The G-8 Internet Summit was held in 20001year, which established a principle that no country or region may interfere with or hinder the progress and development of online transactions and e-commerce in any form or for any reason. That's international practice. In other words, if a company puts its products online (if the products are good enough) and can be sold all over the world without restriction, how much money will it save? For example, in the past, people had to go to the civil aviation purchasing point to buy air tickets. Now anyone only needs to call 800 or book tickets online, which is very convenient. You don't have to buy it yourself, or someone else will send it.
3. Real-time interactivity: When watching TV today, you can only passively accept the programs broadcast by TV stations. You can't choose, you can only tune. You can watch the programs broadcast by this TV station. I have no choice. But today, the internet is not like this. Today, you can listen to any teacher you want, and you can find any resources you want. You can watch whatever TV you want and communicate with whoever you want. This is interaction.
4. Personalization: TV stations can't customize TV programs according to everyone's preferences. It can only arrange them according to the director's arrangement. Personalization on the Internet means that many manufacturers can customize their products according to customers' needs. For example, Dell can provide the computer configuration you want to Dell, and Dell will produce it according to the demand and send it to you. Dell makes use of personalized service to become the most powerful computer production company.
5. Humanization: Nowadays, the operation of computers and the operation of surfing the Internet are very humanized. High-tech means simple operation and convenient use, not more complicated. So the Internet is so popular because it is carried out according to human standards in many aspects.
6. Fairness: People publish and receive information on the Internet equally, regardless of location, identity and equal opportunities.
