Internationalization
It resulted from the change to a global economy, increased use
of Internet as an informational resource, international communication
tool, and teaching and learning tool, national laws requiring
governmental agencies to make their web sites more ADA compliant,
and other changes in the perception of ourselves and the world.
In addition, global Internet usage is predicted to grow to a billion
users worldwide by 2005 with 90% of US households having Internet
access. Increased global usage has ramifications for web designers
and developers.
