To help people find your information on the Web, we'll make announcements on a number of computers around the world. Publishing it in your adverts will let people quickly find your pages. The Internet is like a telephone network for computers. It began at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1969, and reached Europe in 1971. Introduced in 1992, the Web is that part of the Internet that lets you exchange and view pages that look like they've come from a magazine.
Pages can include text, pictures and even sounds.
No single company owns or runs the Internet, though lots of people own different parts of it. The computers are owned by companies, organisations, and individuals. The interconnections are owned by local and national telecommunications companies, and some parts are run by the government and educational establishment. The Internet is growing at a phenomenal rate. Remember that each computer site may cater to many people.
