The new information and communication technologies have become a special medium. This work tries to determine the meaning of the term “interactivity,” which has the power to convert technical networks in a space for human communication. It describes the Internet and its more popular application, the world wide web. And finally, it analyses the origins and evolution of virtual communities in the Internet.
