The internet is a global, on-line computer
network connecting governments, companies,
universities, and many other networks and
users. The service offers electronic mail,
conferencing and chat services, as well as
the ability to access remote computers and
send and retrieve files. It began in 1984 and
by the end of 1996 was estimated to have
around 50 million users throughout the world.
The "Internet" has a growth rate of around
10% per month.
