Section 1 - Introduction

The Internet (Net) is a loose association of thousands of networks and millions of computers across the world that all work together to share information. It is a global system of computers that carries data and makes the exchange of information possible. The World Wide Web is a subset of the Net. The World Wide Web enables simple and intuitive navigation of Internet sites through a graphical user interface (GUI). Computers having the proper hardware can connect to the Internet via an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
