Abstract: We live in an information society, we search and gather on the internet almost everything we want to know. More and more often we are also looking for information about health issues on the world wide web. The real world is reflected by the internet: more and more false and misleading information can be found. From what home page and how to choose health information that is reliable and professionally correct? If we find relevant, useful information, can we fully understand it? These questions will be answered by this publication. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(22): 855–862.

The world wide web is the fastestgrowing health information medium. In 2001, 52 million adults in America accessed the web to obtain such information.1 Cancer has been shown to be among the top three health topics searched for on the internet. A survey performed by American oncologists estimated that approximately 30% of their patients use the internet to obtain information. Other surveys have shown that up to 50% of cancer patients use the net for this purpose. The internet is also seen as an important source of information for family members and caregivers of cancer patients.

RESUMOPartindo do notório avanço da tecnologia e do crescente uso das redes sociais para os mais variados fins na sociedade da informação, a presente pesquisa busca analisar em que medida a informação, referente a um indivíduo ou os dados por ele fornecidos nos mais variados domínios virtuais, podem ser livremente difundidos na rede mundial de computadores. Para tanto, analisam-se os conceitos de dignidade humana e os direitos da personalidade como elementos balizadores das condutas virtuais, tanto na internet quanto nas redes sociais. PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Sociedade da Informação; Redes Sociais; Dignidade Humana; Direitos da Personalidade. ABSTRACTStarting from the notorious advancement of technology and the increasing use of social networks for the most varied purposes in the information society, the present research seeks to analyze to what extent the information, referring to an individual or the data provided by him in the most varied virtual domains, can be freely disseminated on the world wide web. For that, the concepts of human dignity and personality rights are analyzed as guiding elements of virtual behaviors, both on the Internet and in social networks. KEYWORDS: Information Society; Social Networks; Human Dignity; Rights of the Personality.

Even before they really existed, I deeply believed that virtual worlds would have a profound impact on the real world, ultimately affecting the lives of people worldwide, in much the same way that the World Wide Web itself has brought about a dramatic transformation in how we communicate. Now that Second Life—and more broadly, virtual worlds—have become at least "worthy of criticism,” I am all the more convinced that this will prove to be true. We will soon see virtual worlds expand from millions of active users to billions.

Over the past decade academic and research libraries throughout the world have taken advantage of the enormous developments in communication technology to improve services to their users. Through the Internet and the World Wide Web researchers now have convenient electronic access to library catalogs, indexes, subject bibliographies, descriptions of manuscript and archival collections, and other resources. This brief overview illustrates how libraries are facilitating performing arts research in new ways.

<span>Public libraries were early adopters of Internet-based technologies and have provided public access to the Internet and computers since the early 1990s. The landscape of public-access Internet and computing was substantially different in the 1990s as the World Wide Web was only in its initial development. At that time, public libraries essentially experimented with publicaccess Internet and computer services, largely absorbing this service into existing service and resource provision without substantial consideration of the management, facilities, staffing, and other implications of public-access technology (PAT) services and resources. This article explores the implications for public libraries of the provision of PAT and seeks to look further to review issues and practices associated with PAT provision resources. While much research focuses on the amount of public access that </span><span>public libraries provide, little offers a view of the effect of public access on libraries. This article provides insights into some of the costs, issues, and challenges associated with public access and concludes with recommendations that require continued exploration.</span>

In this paper we are presenting a simple simulation of the Internet World-Wide Web, where one observes the appearance of web pages belonging to different web sites, covering a number of different thematic topics and possessing links to other web pages. The goal of our simulation is to reproduce the form of the observed World-Wide Web and of its growth, using a small number of simple assumptions. In our simulation, existing web pages may generate new ones as follows: First, each web page is equipped with a topic concerning its contents. Second, links between web pages are established according to common topics. Next, new web pages may be randomly generated and subsequently they might be equipped with a topic and be assigned to web sites. By repeated iterations of these rules, our simulation appears to exhibit the observed structure of the World-Wide Web and, in particular, a power law type of growth. In order to visualise the network of web pages, we have followed N. Gilbert's (1997) methodology of scientometric simulation, assuming that web pages can be represented by points in the plane. Furthermore, the simulated graph is found to possess the property of small worlds, as it is the case with a large number of other complex networks.

This paper argues that the World Wide Web provides a unique opportunity for sociological explication. It contends that sociological uses of the Internet for publication purposes have not as yet taken full advantage of the technology available, producing web facsimiles of printed pages. It highlights the potential for undertaking inquiries which employ the multimedia aspects of WWW technology and extends some of the insights from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis regarding retrievable data.

The features of the Internet as a leading institution of information law in the XXI century have been studied in the article. It has been determined that a characteristic feature of the Internet is that geographical boundaries do not play any role here. The Internet space is an electronic information space of communications for which there are no borders. That is why it is difficult to ensure effective legal regulation of the Internet, as there is no systematic legislation regulating the relevant types of relations on the World Wide Web, besides, there are objective features of the Internet functioning. It has been stated that an important point of solving the problems of using the Internet is the adoption of the Laws: "On the protection of freedom on the Internet", "On e-democracy", "On distance learning on the Internet". It has been noted that in modern society, the Internet has made it possible to influence greatly the life of every person. As a result of globalization processes, the World Wide Web performs the function of forming a person's world-view. Unfortunately, standards that do not conform to the ideas of humanism are often promoted on the Internet. New forms of communication on the Internet have led to the separation of the culture function of this means of mass communication, as a result of which a specific information culture is being formed. Thus, an important factor in building a global information society is the formation of the individual new information culture on the Internet network.
