Back To Home Page Web's tentacles will reach into every aspect of life THIS is going to be an incredible year in the virtual world. By Christmas, we will be able to book into a hotel, reserve an airline ticket, and even shop for presents using the World Wide Web. I am confident the other two retail banks will launch their initiatives shortly.
Any internet is a network of networks.
The global telephone system is an internet, as is the global postal system. The Internet, the computer network of networks, represents the most efficient communications infrastructure ever and it competes directly with the telephone, the fax, the cellphone and the postal systems, and with roads. Like these other systems, the Internet allows people to communicate. Once the Internet becomes as mainstream as the telephone, it will be as essential as electricity and running water. The Web is the killer application on the Net.
