Internet
A global network of networks connecting many millions of computers. Currently, the Internet has more than 30 million users world wide, and that number is growing rapidly. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions on Web servers. Unlike online services, which are centrally controlled, the Internet is decentralised by design. Each Internet computer, called a host, is independent. Its operators can choose which Internet services to provide to its local users and which local services to make available to the global Internet community. Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly well.
