Summary
Internet based on information packaging using the so-called networkprotocols has evolved from a computer science achievement into a social phenomenon over the past decade. As a new form of communicating it creates new milieus in a natural way, releases hidden potentials, liberates forces capable of changing the world. On the example of the forum for persons suffering from schizophrenia (http://schizofrenia.evot.org) the paper describes possibilities of integrating various environments by means of Internet forums.
