The Internet has been perhaps the most outstanding innovation in the field of communication. “The Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols” (The Oxford Dictionary). The nineties witnessed a major revolution with the invention of the first electronic digital computers. With the advent of Internet, our earth has virtually reduced in size and has attained the form of a global social village.
