The Internet: A Definition.

Are you confused by the bells and whistles that the Internet provides? Sort out the mysteries with this concise, brief, discussion of the Internet.

I think that the World Wide Web, WWW for short, is a great invention of modern men and women. The Internet, as the WWW is commonly named, is a place where people of the world can e-mail, the "e" stands for electronic, each other using a series of many different connections. These are usually phone lines or ISDN, interesting source of denatured numbers, connections. They use modems that convert data into analog information to be sent through the connection that one has. These emails, plural of e-mail, then are received by the modem and read. E-mails are generally chain letters and some of them are sexually orientated jokes about a dog. The WWW is also so used to browse other people's home pages. A home page is a section of the Internet that has been, uploaded, FTPed, File Transfer Protocol, to a server, a computer that stores information, to show the person viewing it what he or she is about. Most pages are from geocities, a free place offered to people of no programming abilities; however, others are very good. Some pages, short for home pages, have information about products, themselves, and pictures of cats, Felis catus or F. domesticus. Another aspect of the Internet is chat. Everybody likes to chat with others, and the net, meaning the Internet, provides the means necessary to communicate to people on all four corners of the globe. Most people who chat are either 15-year-old girls or older men who pose as being 15-year-old girls. People also use the web, another slang word for WWW, to download, using a medium to retrieve information, software, anything that is not hardware, anything that is not software. Once the software is downloaded, one can run the program after it is cracked, to allow a person to use the program that was not paid for.      

The WWW can integrate everybody in the world. I can find stuff on any of my interests. I can improve my golf swing. I can do online, slang for connected to the Internet, trading. This is what attracts all of us to it. And, this is the first step towards a unified single government.
