Internet
The Internet is a system of linked networks that are
worldwide in scope and facilitate data communication
services such as remote login, file transfer, electronic
mail, the World Wide Web and newsgroups.
With
the meteoric rise in demand for connectivity, the Internet
has become a communications highway for millions of users.
The Internet was initially restricted to military and
academic institutions, but now it is a full-fledged conduit
for any and all forms of information and commerce. Internet
websites now provide personal, educational, political and
economic resources to every corner of the planet.
