Interconnected Networks

The Internet is more than just a collection of interconnected networks and web pages. It's a research, communication and entertainment tool all wrapped in one. Using the internet has become an integral part of most people's lives. In most cases it not only supplements daily activities, but replaces them altogether. Take for example the news. Along with television, radio and newspapers, the internet has become a major source of news. In fact, due to the immediacy of the web as a medium, most people turn the internet first for breaking news. Shopping is another example. Don't feel like going to the mall? Order the product online. You can even order your groceries online! These are just a few of the thousands of services and resources available on the internet.
