In former times the people were informed about the heralds of the emperors and kings and sovereigns what happened or should happen in the principality. However, the heralds were not only the messengers for news, but also diplomats. Later, the people were informed about the events of the past day or the planned events of the coming days via the daily newspapers. Today information is more important than ever. Everybody wants to be informed at every second about the latest gossip, but also about what is going on in the fields of politics and health, gardening etc. The information that can be retrieved from the WWW today is up to date on a daily basis, or to be more precise, to the minute. For example, while a head of government is giving a speech, this information can also be read in written form on the WWW a few seconds later. Even more up to date are the live streams, with the help of which one can be present at a press conference practically live from home. This also applies to sporting events and also to concerts, to name just one more example. However, people today are also interested in information of all kinds that they can access via the WWW.
