An overview of using the Internet

The Internet

The Internet is an association of thousands of networks and

millions of computers around the world connected by

communications lines. They all work together to share information.

The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (or “Web”) is a subset of the Internet—a

collection of interlinked documents (located on computers

connected to the Internet) that work together using a specific

Internet protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

The World Wide Web offers information as text, images, audio, or

video to be referenced from anywhere in the world. Special

programs called Web browsers are specifically designed to work

with HTTP. They make it easier to connect to a particular network

address and send and receive information.

Internet Service Providers

To connect a computer directly to the Internet, many people and

businesses use an Internet Service Provider (ISP). An ISP is a

company that has the equipment and the telecommunication lines

necessary to maintain an Internet connection.

You can connect to the Internet by using a telephone and modem or

through other higher-speed communication methods such as Digital

Subscriber Lines (DSL), cable, and satellite links.
