Một trường đại học mới mà không có thư viện gần đây đã được mở ở Mỹ. Tất cả các thông tin thường tìm thấy trong thư viện bây giờ được lưu trữ trong các máy tính của trường đại học. Không để máy tính của họ, người dùng có thể gửi tin nhắn và nhận thông tin qua đường dây điện thoại. Tuy nhiên, điều này có nghĩa là mỗi học sinh phải có quyền truy cập vào một máy tính, và nhiều trường đại học đang làm cho một yêu cầu này cho sinh viên năm nhất. Các trường đại học bây giờ có các lỗ cắm máy tính trong mọi phần của trường đại học. Nghiên cứu không còn giới hạn ở một địa điểm.
Bảng thông báo bằng máy tính được sử dụng giống như các bảng truyền thống trong các trường học và cao đẳng. Sự khác biệt là hơn 20 triệu người có thể truy cập vào họ. Nếu học sinh muốn thảo luận về toán vào lúc 3 giờ sáng, thì đó không phải là vấn đề. Họ đăng tin nhắn trên bảng tin và tìm những người khác muốn thảo luận về cùng một chủ đề.
Công nghệ bây giờ có nghĩa là sinh viên có thể có được một văn bằng mà không có trong khuôn viên trường. Có nhiều người hoài nghi về phương pháp giáo dục mới này, nhưng mối quan tâm của họ ít có tác động

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two-thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.

The first electronic computer was built in the 1930s and was solely for the use (2)__of___ undergraduate students in Iowa State University to handle mathematical computation in unclear physics. (3)__During__ World War Two computers were developed in order to wage counter espionage and break codes used by the enemy. In the post-war war years the scope of computers was expanded to include the military industrial complex and academia. Obviously people needed to (4)_communicate__ around these institutions and so there was a needed for early network tools. In the 1960's an early version of the Internet, ARPPANET was used in computer science and engineering projects. However, only 10 years later computers were starting to change our lifestyle, the way we do business and many style things (Elliott, 1994) and by the late 1980's networks were expanding to embrace section of the general public.

Easy English?
English is an important global language, but that doesn't mean it is easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier to learn, but the weren't always successful.
In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in 'real' English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list.
RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. Father' became 'faadher', 'new' became 'nue' and 'years' became 'yeerz'. Unfortunately, for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.
Even easier is the language which ships' captains use: it is called 'Seaspeak'. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don't say, 'I didn't understand, can you repeat that?" it is just, "Say a gain". No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include. examples of 'NetLingo' like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later).
