Have you heard of Facebook, MySpace and YouTube? Ten years ago, there were even no these names. Today they have been part of people’s daily life, especially the teenagers’ daily life. In fact, they are three of the most popular websites.
In the early days of World Wide Web (万维网), writers and editors wrote articles or took photos for a certain website. As users, we could only read things that others had written. It was not much different from reading a newspaper or a book. The only difference was one thing—the words were on a screen, not on paper.
In the last five years, all that has changed. Since the websites like Bebo and Facebook appeared, they have become more and more popular. Why are these new websites so popular? Unlike those past websites, these new websites allow users to make the web pages of their own. So every day many articles, photos and home-made films are on show on the websites. They’re interactive. You can communicate with people on the other side of the world. If you read an article online and don’t agree with the writer, you can write a message to the writer on the website.
