As a result of this lucrative market, the ease of use of Web building tools have increased over the years. They have become more effective and allow for the building of Web sites which can incorporate the latest technologies such as Flash without the user having to know more than the essential basics. Therefore the future of the Web and the Internet as a whole depends on the interactive input and output of information which is facilitated by more and more effective Web building tools.

.Applications such as Microsoft's FrontPage was one of the earlier programs that allowed for the WYSIWYG revolution in Web editing. This was followed by even more user-friendly and effective editors such as Adobe's GoLive and Macromedia's well- known Dreamweaver. These programs, among others, have achieved a level of sophistication that allows for quick and effective Web building of even the most complex ecommerce site.

However, the use of Web building tools has developed to another level in the last few years. There have been a number of technical innovations on the Web which have radically increased the potential for communication and information sharing.

Are the Internet and the latest communication technologies altering the shape of the human mind or consciousness? There is little doubt that the answer is an unequivocal yes. There is no doubt that technology influences and interacts with human consciousness to produce new realities. The question should rather be to what extent the Internet is affecting human consciousness. Are these new technologies simply additional tools for humanity to express itself or are they effectively changing our perceptions and the way we think?

As we consider the latest development in online Web building, the difference between web creation and active interaction are being blurred. In one sense the Web is developing according to its own impetus and it is a matter of speculation as to where this will lead.
