What is the Internet ?

InterNIC, the internet central licensing authority, have produced a suite of training material to introduce you to the net, how it works and how to use it. The question 'What is the Internet' can be answered by studying a series of topics. I suggest you work through the material in the following order:

What is the Internet ?
A summary of the components which make up the internet itself.
What is the World Wide Web ?
A way to coordinate multimedia resources.
What is a URL ?
How computers find things on the Web.
What is a web browser ?
Netscape, Internet explorer etc. What do they do ?
