The Internet continues to be increasingly valuable to individuals, organisations and companies. Web usage for everyday tasks such as shopping, banking, and paying bills is increasing, and businesses and governments are delivering more services and information over the Internet. Users have embraced the Internet for social networking and substantial collaborative works have emerged including Open Source initiatives, collaborative editing of encyclopedias, and self-help groups. Indeed, much of the information that is implicitly exchanged when people meet in person is now exchanged electronically over the Internet.
