Introducing the Internet

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a group of computers that
communicate with each other through
telephone lines, digital service, or cable lines.
Each Internet computer is independent, and its
operators choose which files to make available
to users of the Internet. To connect your PC to
the Internet and use the information and services
available there, you need an ISP.
