What is the Internet: The Internet is a linking of computer networks. Think of each network as a neighborhood in your town. You can speak with the neighbor next door or across the street by simply walking next door. By using the roads within your neighborhood you can walk to or drive to any other neighborhood in your city and speak to anyone. Now think of the Internet as the electronic roads and interstate expressways that connect all the neighborhoods of your city, state and the world. This connection via the digital roads makes it possible for anyone with access to the Internet to visit, chat or speak with anyone else connected to the Internet. It makes the world an online global village.
