Description: The Internet began over 30 years ago as a method of providing vital military communications following a nuclear      attack. Today, due to the introduction of the World Wide Web and recent commercial interests, the Internet has      grown into a multimedia source of information, and has become overloaded with information. Acquisition      professionals in both the government and civilian defense acquisition sectors are attempting to use the Internet as      an efficient and effective communications tool. However, due to the overloaded nature of the Internet, they are      having difficulty finding relevant information in a timely manner. This thesis provides an overview of the current      internet tools available to acquisition professionals. It also demonstrates why these tools are not effective in      providing time.
