"The Internet is a global
system of interconnected
computer networks
that use the standard
Internet Protocol Suite
(TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is
a network of
networks that
consists of millions of private, public, academic,
business, and government networks, of local to
global scope, that are linked by a broad array of
electronic, wireless and optical networking
technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of
information
resources and services, such as the inter-linked
hypertext
documents of the
World Wide Web
(WWW) and the infrastructure to support
electronic mail."
