Today information is very important in every field of people’s activity. People say that “who has information will always possess a situation”. So from day to day we obviously understand truthfulness of this expression. Ten years ago, the Internet was practically unheard of by most of people. But today, the Internet is one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. For sure in the nearest future
