An ad-hoc comparable corpus has been created from the official websites of National Parks which represent a kind of eco-tourist destination.

Nowa gospodarka ery informacji
2016
Rewolucyjny rozwój internetu znacząco wpłynął nie tylko na społeczeństwo i kulturę, ale także na gospodarkę.

Komercyjny pęd doprowadził wręcz do uprzedmiotowienia człowieka i mierzenia jego wartości w kategoriach ekonomicznych. Kapitalizm odbił swe piętno na funkcjonowaniu sieci, ale sieć, rządząca się swoimi prawami, także zaczęła wpływać na formę tego systemu i ją uaktualniać. Staliśmy się świadkami ewolucji kapitalistycznego rynku i dezaktualizacji niektórych pojęć.
