Think of it this way.
Imagine your computer linked to millions
of other computers all around the world. You'd be able to see the information
stored on all of these computer located in libraries, companies, universities,
government agencies and lots of other places.This basically, is what the
Internet is all about. A network of computers that covers the whole world.
Now that's cool!.The 'Net', as it is popularly known, originally began
as a world-wide scientific network where scholars from all over the
world could exchange information and share their findings. Today everyone
from scientists, academics and poets to students like you're hooked on
the Net. The Internet has become an "information superhighway" where people
from all over the world can meet without the constraints of time, distance,
race, creed or colour! A real world-wide cyber-community.
