The Internet swiftly entered the life of the humankind in the 20th century. It took us less than ten years to face the fact of its spreading all over the world, including the developing countries. It has become not only the hugest information resource in the world, but “ what is even more important “ the most rapid means of communication. People from different countries have got an opportunity to communicate with each other in quite a short time. In comparison with a snail-mail or even airmail, e-mail gets over distance and time, frontiers of the states with a lightning speed. Thus, people get closer to each other. They have got a chance to know each other better, to become aware of what is common among nations and can unite them and what is different, what peculiarities of culture and religion should be taken into account to achieve mutual understanding. They gradually come to realize the fact that we all are inhabitants of one planet “ the Earth “ and have to live together depending on each other, helping each other. But, the Internet is only one of the means to understand this and does not guarantee the comprehension of the people only by the technological and information opportunities that it provides. Everything depends on the people themselves, their mentality, their will and intellect. On the other hand, people in different countries, not only in the cultural and scientific centres, are able to get education in famous universities. Disabled children, invalids can learn at schools, colleges and universities by distance. Those who study at schools, universities, colleges can enhance their knowledge using the educational literature, encyclopedia, references, dictionaries, databases, which are freely accessed, participating in distance educational courses, in collaborative projects with students from other schools, universities, countries, discussing different problems with them.

Very few technical aids were designed and produced particularly for the educational purposes. Educators have always had to investigate the didactic opportunities of this or that invention, to define how it can be successfully used in the sphere of education that is to define its didactic functions. It is very important neither to overestimate the role of the Internet in education nor to underestimate it, to define this role and place in the educational process. For this purpose it is necessary to orientate oneself on the concept and the goals of education adopted in different education systems. Many of us live in the so-called information society where the information is of great value; some are only on the threshold of such society. Famous American economist Lester C. Turow in his book The Future of Capitalism. How Today's Economic Forces Shape Tomorrow's World (1997) underlines that the greatest value for many years ahead will be knowledge and qualification because knowledge can be manifested through qualification. The level of technologies in the developed countries is so high that it needs high-qualified specialists. If used efficiently the Internet can promote this process. Successful activities: achievements Internet is a large source of reference materials and data required for all types of educational activities in studying/learning directly, in management of educational systems and in scientific and methodical work. One of the most important advantages of the Internet in the area of information inquiry is the increased accessibility of reference materials and data for all categories of users. The Internet "is a truly open technology , allowing users wi
