I need help with my essay, it's on CGI.?

[HardCore]

I need help writing my essay. I'm writing about CGI what is has done in our society and what I think it will do. I've written about it's history but I need help coming up with how it may change society, i think it's limits are endless but I can't come up with many decent idea's.

One of my ideas is that it may revolutionize that gaming industry in that it will become so good people will be able to emerge themsleves into a virtual world to escape this one.

If you could come up with points similar to this, it'd be really helpful.
Thanks in advance

The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard for interfacing external applications with information servers, such as HTTP or Web servers.

Since a CGI program is executable, it is basically the equivalent of letting the world run a program on your system, which isn't the safest thing to do. Therefore, there are some security precautions that need to be implemented when it comes to using CGI programs. Probably the one that will affect the typical Web user the most is the fact that CGI programs need to reside in a special directory, so that the Web server knows to execute the program rather than just display it to the browser. This directory is usually under direct control of the webmaster, prohibiting the average user from creating CGI programs. There are other ways to allow access to CGI scripts, but it is up to your webmaster to set these up for you. At this point, you may want to contact them about the feasibility of allowing CGI access.
