already been connected to the web .This implies that a majority of young people
have a possibility to connect themselves .
2) On the contrary, only 15 % of the people between 55
and 75 have already used Internet .This indicates that older people are not
adapted to new technologies.
3) A large proportion of teenagers use Internet as a
means of communication with other students. This illustrates that a new means
of writting communications is developping.
4) The majority of teenagers use Internet for their
school research as a source of information and documentation. This shows that
Internet is a cultural instrument like an encyclopeodia .
5) About one in five people uses Internet as a
distraction, for playing games .This illustrates the large proportion of
activities offered by Internet .
6) A significant number of people have already bought a

shopping .
All things
considered, we have seen that Internet is becoming more and more fashionable,
although, old people have not already adopted it .The young people who use
Internet more and more for communication and research, have discovered the
recreational aspect of the web .but also, the shopping ,which has found a new
way of selling products .Internet is not only a cultural instrument but also an
