The Internet is as I see it, a synonym of freedom, a synonym of the ability to find any information you need and also to get in touch with your friends and partners all over the world. The Internet for me is a means of research, a convenient and quick way to find information for broadcasting both on radio and television. But for all that one should remember that information has to be verified and that good manners count in virtual reality as well.
