INTERNET
- The Internet is a globalnetwork connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges ofdata, news and opinions.
- According toInternet World Stats, as of December 31, 2011 there was an estimated 2,267,233,742 Internet users worldwide. This represents 32.7% of the world's population.
- Unlike online services, which are centrally
controlled, the Internet is decentralized by design. Each Internet computer,
called a host, is independent. Its operators can choose which Internet services
to use and which local services to make available to the global Internet
community. Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly well.
- There are a variety of ways toaccess the Internet. Most online services offer access to some Internet services. It is also possible to gain access through a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP).
