The Internet

The Internet is an INTERnational information NETwork that allows millions of computers users around the world to exchange information. The Internet makes it possible for people to communicate by e-mail (electronic mail) and to search for information on the World Wide Web. It was developed by the American Department of Defence in the 60's. Later, companies decided to go on the Internet to create websites for the public. Today, the Net is the largest source of information.











Universities and libraries display information on the Net, where everybody can search for it and use it to their advantage. Since the web is growing, there is no encyclopaedia as complete as the Internet.








 You can even see the latest pictures of the Mars expeditio.
As you can see, the Internet is a marvelous medium, but sometimes information included there is not reliable. It can be very useful because it provides infotmation and entertainment for grown-ups and children, but it also has certain disadvantages.
