1 Do you play computer games over the Internet? Do you send e-mail messages to your friends?
You can get all kinds of information there. People use the Internet to work at home. Scientists use
the Internet to help them do research.
2 The Internet is a system that connects computer networks. It links millions of computers all over
the world. It allows your computer to get information stored on other computers far away. Some
networks have only a few computers. Some networks have thousands of computers. Computers
connect to the Internet through telephone and cable systems.
3 Many governments, big companies, and other organisations have intranets. The computers on an
intranet are hooked up to the Internet. But only people who work for the organisation that owns
the intranet can use it. Other people on the Internet cannot see what is on the intranet computers.
4 Millions of people use the Internet every day. In 1981, only 213 computers were connected to the
Internet. By 2003, more than 216 million computers were connected to the Internet. No one knows
for sure how many people use the Internet. Computer experts thought that there were 61 million
Internet users worldwide at the end of 1996. There may have been from 700 million to 900 million
users by the end of 2013.
