The internet is a globally connected network system that uses TCP/IP to transmit data via various types of media. The internet is a network of global exchanges – including private, public, business, academic and government networks – connected by guided, wireless and fiber-optic technologies.
The terms internet and World Wide Web are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same thing; the internet refers to the global communication system, including hardware and infrastructure, while the web is one of the services communicated over the internet.
SOME USES OF INTERNET ARE -
Electronic mail. At least 85% of the inhabitants of cyberspace send and receive e-mail. Some 20 million e-mail messages cross the Internet every week.
Education and self-improvement. On-line courses and workshops have found yet another outlet.
Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late-breaking news, weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in the next several years.
Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical positions.
Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks. It appears that "cybermalls" are more for curious than serious shoppers.
