The "Internet Hysteria" phenomena, not just in travel circles, has been compared to a gold rush—most of the miners are starving while they look for gold while the saloons, brothers, and folks selling books on how to mine make money.
Can’t The Internet be used to advertise and "convey image?" That’s one of its main purposes today—mostly advertising for the computer industry.
The Internet does have a place (an expanding one) as one tool among many that travel businesses can and should use, but it needs to be viewed in proper perspective and not assumed to be the electronic savior of all segments of the travel industry, which it clearly is not.

 Doing Internet Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Suffice to say for now that, whether or not one believes the hyperbolic claims about the Internet being the biggest thing since the invention of the wheel, the Internet is a medium with great consequences for social and economic life.
Internet users are as much a part of physical space as they are cyberspace (more so, really, insofar as users' choices regarding place, identity, etc., are far more limited in physical space).
The bulk of research into the Internet has been essentially administrative, driven largely by the concerns of commercial interests seeking to get a grip on the demographics of online audiences in much the same way as that research is done on other media.

 Santel Internet - Direct Access
Hackers, spam and other strange sounding Internet phenomena have caused much concern and apprehension among Internet users, which is inhibiting the wide spread adoption of the Internet.
Internet surfers now can use secure Web browsers, there are secure Web servers, the computers can be protected by a Firewall, and data can be encrypted when it is sent and decrypted and verified (i.e., digital signature) when it is received to ensure a secure transmission of information between two computers across the Internet.
The portion of the Internet which has the most potentially damaging consequences and costs associated with security attacks is not the single message sent from a PC to a Web server such as an online credit card order—it is the network server that stores large volumes of personal, confidential and financial information.

Enterprises need assessment of the Internet perils in their current enterprise network configuration, for appropriate network design to minimize operational risk, permitting lower insurance rates and more stable network operations.
The enterprise looks better if it knows something is wrong in the Internet cloud before the customer calls in frustration over a delayed trade or purchase; still better if it already knows what is wrong; even better if it can say that an agent service has already sent evidence to the relevant ISP.

 An Exploratory Analyses Of The Social Nature Of Internet Addiction:
A Research Paper Submitted To The Electronic ...
If Internet addiction is similar to other addictions such as gambling and alcoholism one would expect that it would be significantly and negatively correlated with variables that measure aspects of self esteem such as Locus of Control.
This is not to say that true Internet addiction does not exist, only that it may not take the form of other, more “traditional” addictions, and it may be hasty to apply current addiction doctrine to a new form of social communication.
From a symbolic interaction perspective, it may be that internet addiction exists in part because there is now a “concept” called “internet addiction” that defines a situational context and behavioral pattern, all of which are being reified by arbitrary statistical data and incomplete conceptual definition.

 "Hot Topics" Workshop: Scaling Phenomena in Communication Networks, October 22-24, 1999
The study of scaling phenomena in modern communication networks is another realization of Mandelbrot's vision of order in physical and social phenomena that are characterized by scaling laws.
In contrast to many other fields where scaling phenomena have had a long history but have not moved beyond the descriptive stage, this area shows great potential to apply the theory to analyze and control complex, large-scale networks such as the Internet.
It is expected that this workshop will advance the study of scaling phenomena in networks from a descriptive theory to a prescriptive reality.

I am totally usually completely taken with internet phenomena from the moment I discover them (usually one to five years after they’ve been popular) until long after they’ve died, putrefied, and turned back into the digital ether whence they came.
It’s really just my undying love for internet phenomena that make me want to do this, but I’m going to pretend that there is some sort of sociological value in an attempt to review them all.
Up until very recently, full-length TV shows or movies were difficult to find on the internet; to date, most internet video has been limited to smaller, shorter clips on video sharing sites such as the popular YouTube.
