What is the Internet? Why would I want to have access to it?
The internet is the world's largest network of computers, and is the fastest growing segment of both the computing and telecommunications industries. A network of networks, the internet offers anyone with a computer direct access to information in hospitals, libraries, colleges, the ability to communicate with others over long distances for very inexpenxive rates, a source of entertainment and a way to enjoy multi-player games with people from around the world, and an inexpensive way to publish multimedia materials on a large scale, before a prospective audience of millions. An internet account turns your computer into a communications and data access device that can bring you information from almost all the world's great computing centers.
