People and specifically Children that are exposed to this endless inventory expand their vocabulary and consequently their understanding and knowledge.

In the introduction of computers and web based information technology, people had predicted that printed books would vanish. However, it happened that this technology actually increased the amount of information that is being read. Also, the web based information technology exposed the written word to larger population.
