The internet is an international network of computer databases. Fifty-five million individuals currently access information and interact with "hosts." By the end of the decade, estimates suggest five hundred and fifty million internet users. As the tale goes, the U.S. and other government computers connected with educational sites. Through phone lines, data bases are made available to anyone having internet access. You can "talk" in real time, send email, search data banks, and view the world wide web.
