What is the Internet?
The Internet is an electronic network that links together office and home computers throughout the world. It consists of many local networks connected together. Data is sent between networks along telephone lines and between continents using satellite links. It also allows people to share information via the World Wide Web. The Web is an ever-growing library of information supplied by individuals or organisations that can be easily accessed at home via a computer.
The Internet uses telephone lines and satellite links to interconnect computers all over the world.
