     IT revolution, which is the drastic change of social structure, is spreading through the world. It will make our society much easier. Let's see in which way it can make us live more convenient. 
     First of all, the Internet is a kind of an encyclopedia. If you want to know how much did the Yasuo Tanaka, who is the governor of the Nagano prefecture, get in the election, what would you do? Asking to your friends? Few can ansewer, because our memory cannot hold the information more than half a year ago. Searching for the newspaper? Do you really have it which is more than 6 month ago? Seeking by encyclopedia? It's too new for them to publish. What can we do? The Internet will be help. The instant we searched for Yasuo Tanaka,vote, we found the number. Like this, net work can be used as an encyclopedia. 
     Think about TVs, how many channels are there? There really are many channels, but we could get high quality informations which the sponsors regard to be useful to improve their image. How many pages are there on the Inter net? No body knows. As the Internet become handy, individuals now can show their ideas or informations to all of the world. But, if an information is useful for a person, another can be of no use. If the information is useful for a person, it can be of no use for another person. 
     In addition, there are many sites where shows wrong informations. Some of them are spell misses, some of them are wrong in the document. Most of them are only a mistake, only some are with some perpose. How can we avoid being deceived by those wrong informations?When we find the number 589,324, for example, we should see other sites. When some sites present the same information, we can regard it as a true informaion. 
     There are two ways of searching for informations. One is to use search engines, we write down key words in a form or click the category where we are interested in. When we use all documents search, we get too much information that we cannot see them all. When we use category-search, there are some subjective selections, and no such kindo of search engines can collect all the pages on the Internret. The other is to use Link. When we find a site about the educatuion, there may be link pages, and we can find other pages about education. But the importance of the information differs from a person to a person, it is not likely that we always can beneficial sites. 
     There are human communicating searching pege. Where people recommends the page, and we rely on them. These site can be one of the ways to find informations. 
     We suggest that people should find their favorite search engine. If you are found of the engine, maybe it's maker's feeling fits with yours. 
     To use "Open new windows" is really useful. It would be better to open 5 or 10 pages, searched from search engines. When we find it to be not interesting, we close the window. It's much faster than only to click, find it boaring, go back and seach. 
     Let's have the ability to select informations as a new citizen.It is the ability of searching for informations that is needed for the future net citizens.
