Learning about the Internet
The
Internet
is a worldwide network of computers linked together to provide
information to people everywhere. The two most popular services on the
Internet are e-mail and the World Wide Web. You can access this network by
connecting your computer to a telephone, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), or
cable line and signing up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you want to access the Internet you need:
■
A
modem
– a device that connects your computer, using a telephone,
DSL, or cable line, to other computers or servers.
■

Internet Service Provider
– a company that provides access to the
Internet through an ISP server. When you connect to an ISP, the ISP server
lets you access the Internet and your e-mail messages.
■
A
Web browser

Wide Web.

e-mail program
– a program that lets you create, send, and receive
e-mail messages over the Internet.
