Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, course: Dictionaries and their users , language: English, abstract: In the 1960s the idea of a worldwide communication-platform was born, which later came to be known as the Internet. Being used only by scientists and researchers in its beginning, it gained more and more users over the following decades. Now, the world cannot be imagined without the Internet, as millions of people use it every day. But the Internet is not just for entertainment; many people profit from the Internet in various ways.
