The Web way to good health
Article Abstract:
The Internet is playing a significant role in giving ordinary people direct access to a very wide range of up-to-date medical research and information. Some observers believe that it is good for patients to be able to research their condition themselves and to exchange experiences with other sufferers through support groups. However, others have concerns about the quality of information available on the Internet. When assessing the value of health information on the Internet, it is important to establish who the author is and whether claims are backed up with references.

Article Abstract:
Online gaming has so far attracted few Internet users, but some observers believe that this situation will gradually change. Indeed, online gaming could be what really convinces ordinary people about the future of the Internet. One of the key online gaming providers is BT's Wireplay, a closed network which exploits the multiplay option contained in many boxed games available through ordinary retail outlets. Any user with a PC, modem and BT's free software can play around 30 multiplay games with other players across the UK.
