In Summary Internet is a means for computers worldwide to communicate with one another using compatible sets of rules, procedures and physical connections. For example, if you wanted to search the Electronic Library Materials Catalog at Oxford University in England through the Internet, access is facilitated by Internet computers automatically hopping to other computers. In many ways, the Internet is like the American telephone network. When placing a call via the telephone, you dial a number in Boston, not worrying how the network gets your call through. The system does it, provided you dial the right telephone number.
Internet works essentially the same way.
The resources for education and other purposes are endless on the Internet. The thing that makes it work so well is the openness of the system, and the constant use and willingness of users to help other users. While reading the messages that have been posted to the listserv, the user may contribute to someone's question, as well as receive answers to a question the user posted. It is possible to receive many messages from around the world in reply to a question or comment. This attitude of free exchange of information is one of the reasons the Internet is so valuable to educators.
