What is the Internet?
The Internet is a huge network of computers making a world-wide community, with millions of members, providing a vast store of information with great possibilities for education.
The system has now grown extensively enabling anyone to connect to the Internet by using standard telephone lines between their computers and those already connected to the Internet. A number of Internet Service Providers specialise in providing Internet access for a subscription fee that includes a range of additional services. Recently, however, a number of companies and organisations have started to offer free Internet access at local telephone call rates.
