Internet

The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP).

The Internet was begun as a military command and control systems research project.
It was conceived by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANET.

The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web").
The Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs.

Using the Web, you have access to millions of pages of information.
