Intranets
Probablemente se habrá encontrado más de una vez con el término "intranet". Aunque una intranet comparte con Internet una gran cantidad de características, al menos en una de ellas, es básicamente diferente. De la misma manera que Internet está teniendo un efecto profundo en la manera en que nos comunicamos, la intranet promete transformar el mundo corporativo. Compañías tan variadas como Ford, Silicon Graphics y Tyson Foods han implementado todas ellas esta tecnología, mejorando la productividad al tiempo que reducen costes.
¿Pero qué es una intranet? Es posible imaginarla como una Internet interna diseñada para ser usada dentro de una compañía, universidad u organización. Lo que distingue a una intranet de la gratuitamente accesible Internet, es que las intranets son privadas.
Confidencial
Hasta hace muy poco tiempo, las corporaciones confiaban en equipos y programas propietarios para la instalación de redes en sus computadoras, un proceso costoso y que lleva tiempo de realizar, convirtiéndose en mucho más difícil cuando las oficinas de la compañía se encuentran repartidas por todo del mundo. Incluso en las mejores condiciones, el compartir información entre programas, formatos de archivo y plataformas diferentes no es una tarea sencilla. Por medio de la misma tecnología que se aplica a Internet, las intranets solucionan este problema, consiguiendo que las comunicaciones y colaboraciones internas sean mucho más sencillas.
Las intranets usan TCP/IP para transmitir información a través de la red, además de HTML para crear documentos. La información se guarda en uno o más servidores dentro de la compañía y se accede a ella usando un visualizador de Web, como Navigator o Explorer. Estas Internet en miniatura tienen todas ellas las mismas características --páginas personales individuales, grupos de noticias, correo electrónico -- pero están restringidas a empleados y contratantes.
Para empleados que ya están familiarizados con las técnicas para navegar por la Red, el aprender como navegar por la intranet de la compañía requiere poco entrenamiento. La página de Web de la intranet posee el mismo interfaz gráfico basado en "apuntar y pulsar". Mientras que el estar conectada a Internet es algo útil en una intranet, no es algo esencial. Incluso aunque conecten de forma externa, las compañías restringen el acceso desde Internet construyendo un firewall o muro de fuego. Existiendo tanta información de la compañía accesible a través de servidores internos, la seguridad es siempre una prioridad.
Una nueva manera de trabajar
Las organizaciones crecen gracias a la información, sin embargo acceder a ella no es siempre fácil.
The Bacchant are considered offensive to the Theban elites, due to their destruction of livestock and men. However, they also pose a threat to the structure of Theban politics. Pentheus feels threated both politically and personally due to the, “insolent hybris of the Bacchae, a huge humiliation to Greeks” (779). The humiliation is not only towards Greeks a whole, and due to Pentheus's power he is looked poorly on due to these women. The fact that women overruled men, the serving class uprooting from the served, ensues a chaos which creates a loss of faith to Pentheus's constitutents. Since political destruction is not an outcome Pentheus wants, he must supress the female rebellion. Female independence becomes dangerous and in order to lessen these anxietie...
Nowadays, the popularities of the internet do change people’s life and even influence the strategy of a company. The article “Strategy and the Internet” authored by Michael Porter presents a few constructive opinions towards companies using the Internet for business that tells company should not lose the focus on building strategic development and competitive advantage. In the article, Michael Porter demonstrated that “the Internet is an extremely important technology, but it has made it difficult for companies to remain profitable over an extended time period”. (Porter, 2001) And internet leads many businesses “distort their market signals and competitive advantage”. (Porter, 2001) It is obvious that company tend to different from other which only focus on price strategies rather than through traditional methods of differentiation. (Porter, 2001) Throughout this article, Porter mainly aim to demonstrated that the Internet will weaken company’s profitability without providing proper operational advantages, because the proper use of internet will add value and increase company’s traditional competitive advantage, but it is unlikely for company to replace it. (Porter, 2001)
The play was considered comic by the ancient Athenians because of its rhyming lyricism, its song and dance, its bawdy puns, but most of all because the notion and methods of female empowerment conceived in the play were perfectly ridiculous. Yet, as is the case in a number of Aristophanes’ plays, he has presented an intricate vision of genuine human crisis. In true, comic form Aristophanes superficially resolves the play’s conflicts celebrating the absurdity of dramatic communication. It is these loose threads that are most rife with tragedy for modern reader. By exploring an ancient perspective on female domesticity, male political and military power, rape, and efforts to maintain the integrity of the female body, we can liberate our modern dialogue.
In Euripides’ play The Bacchae, the ideals that were the foundation of Greek culture were called into question. Until early 400B.C.E. Athens was a society founded upon rational thinking, individuals acting for the good of the populace, and the “ideal” society. This is what scholars commonly refer to as the Hellenic age of Greek culture. As Athens is besieged by Sparta, however, the citizens find themselves questioning the ideals that they had previously lived their lives by. Euripides’ play The Bacchae shows the underlying shift in ideology of the Greek people from Hellenic (or classical), to Hellenistic; the god character Dionysus will be the example that points to the shifting Greek ideology.
The Bacchae, is a late tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, and it is considered one of his best works and one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies. It was written around 410 BCE, but it only premiered after his death at the City Dionysia festival of 405 BCE, where it won first prize (Euripides). The story is based on the myth of King Pentheus of Thebes, who are punished by the god Dionysus for refusing to worship him, and his mother, one of the women worshippers. Euripides had a unique versatility, this characteristic is reflected in his play The Bacchae where he offers an innovative outlook on women and their roles in Greek mythology.
Masculine attributes in Euripides' time were more along the lines of being valiant, heroic, noble, dominant (over women,) politically powerful, assertive, and competitive. The 19th Century white British male was also expected to be domestically and politically dominant, stiff upper lipped, virile, authoritative, somewhat forbidding... patriarchal.
The third and most contemporary of the great three tragic dramatists of Greece, Euripides often expressed controversial ideas in his work. Unlike the other two members making up the triumvirate, Aeschylus and Sophocles, Euripides’ work questioned traditional and widely held social values, and thus, his work was seen as less appealing and less popular to the masses . For example, his first known tragedy, Medea, “attacks contemporary injustices not only to women but also to foreigners” (Hadas, 92). Thus, though widely held as a misogynist, Euripides could better be classified to have held feminist ideals, and sought to tentatively shine a light on the plight of women.
The internet is an universal collection of millions of computers and networks combined in a larger network. Therefore, no one owns or runs the internet. There are providers controlling each network and each network is locally funded and administered. The internet provides a ton of information varying from games to food recipes. It serves general knowledge on any topic and is available to anyone who can access it. All the information we are able to access are organized by using hypermedia, which uses hypertext. Hypermedia is a document embedded with references to audio, text, images, video, and other documents. Hypertext is a form of codes for links consumers can click on. One of the greatest things about the internet is allowing us to socialize with others wherever and whenever we want. We are able to communicate with our family and friends all around the world. However, what happens if in ten years from now, the internet becomes the Boutique Network. The Boutique Network is a reductive nonetheless de-centralized model of all networks. Our government and service providers are beginning to take control and altering the internet into independent intranets.
Interacting and sharing information are at the heart of the information age, and computers have been the key to information management. However, the result can often be large stacks of paper output of quickly aging information on everyone's desk. An Intranet can help keep everyone current and on top of their work, with great efficiency, Employees and customers alike, can both have something to smile about.

Local Area Networks also called LANs have been a major player in industrialization of computers. In the past 20 or so years the worlds industry has be invaded with new computer technology. It has made such an impact on the way we do business that it has become essential with an ever-growing need for improvement. LANs give an employer the ability to share information between computers with a simple relatively inexpensive system of network cards and software. It also lets the user or users share hardware such as Printers and scanners. The speed of access between the computers is lighting fast because the data has a short distance to cover. In most cases a LAN only occupies one or a group of buildings located next to each other. For larger area need there are several other types of networks such as the Internet.
With Internet, people have access to a wealth of information. It not only serves the business community but also acts as a lifeline for many scientific researches and educational inquiries. Practically most of the important journal articles by the well-known scientists and authors are published on the Web. Information about the rarest of the items and happening around the world can be obtained right form the comfort of our computers. Not only that, the benefits of the Internet are not restricted to a selected few but also are widely dispersed. In countries like the U.S., people enjoy things like Online Banking, media reports and even entertainment. Many of our needed amenities are readily available off the web. We can make use of them with comparative ease and even save a considerable amount of time. By doing thus, Internet is helping us achieve maximum efficiency and results out of our scarce and limited resources.
1991 was an enormous year for the Internet: The National Research and Education Network (NREN) was established and the World Wide Web was discharged. The Internet is still overwhelmed by researchers and different scholastics, however starts to draw out in the open investment. With the arrival of the Mosaic Web browser in 1993 and Netscape in 1994, investment in and utilization of the World Wide Web blasted. More neighborhoods get wired, empowering immediate associations with the Internet. In 1995, the US central government surrendered its administration part in the Internet and Nsf.net returned once more to being an examination system. Interconnected system suppliers are so...
The Internet is considered globally as one of the most important inventions if applied in the right way.

Advances in technology have changed businesses dramatically, in particular the communication and information technology that are conducted in firms, which changed the appearance and pace of businesses over the past few decades. ICT in particular, has evolved a lot over the past 30 years; important information can be stored in computers rather than being in drawers enabling information to be transferred at a greater volume and speed (Guy, 2009). ICT has also expanded various forms of telecommunications and workload conducted in businesses, internet examples of this include: e-mails can be used to communicate with others...
