Some basic information concerning the Internet
Home Page Contact Us Privacy	What is the Internet ? The Internet is a world-wide computer network made up of smaller networks. Unlike most networks, the Internet remains usable even if one or more of its network connections should fail. Therefore the Internet is a very robust tool both for sharing information and, more recently, for conducting electronic commerce. Originally designed as a way for government and academic researchers to share information, the net now connects businesses, non-profit organizations, universities, schools and individuals.

	What is the World Wide Web? The World Wide Web (known as "WWW', "Web" or "W3") is the universe of network-accessible information, the embodiment of human knowledge. It is a "distributed heterogeneous collaborative multimedia information system". Eh ? Pardon ? The World Wide Web began as a networked information project at CERN, where a British scientist Tim Berners-Lee, now Director of the World Wide Web Consortium [W3C], developed a vision of the project. The term "World Wide Web" refers to the Internet's ability to display and link files containing text, images, and a variety of other information. Through the use hypertext and multimedia techniques, the web is easy for anyone to roam, browse, and contribute to. An early talk about the Web gives some more background on how the Web was originally conceived. For example, a person creates a web site containing a series of pages that describes an Technology project. These files can also contain links to other files located anywhere in the world.
