During the past few years, the Internet has become a major part of our everyday
lives. With it, you can E-Mail people all over the world, download computer
software, do research on an unlimited number of topics, see pictures and hear sounds
and music, and much, much, MUCH more! Every day, more information becomes part of
the Internet. Eventually, many everyday things in life will be integrated with the
Internet. One example of this is WebTV, from Philips-Magnavox. The WebTV is an
Internet/television combination. You can watch TV and surf the Net from the same
unit. In the future, TV signals will come directly from the Internet. Radio is now
available from the Internet, and you can receive these signals from anywhere in the
world, not just from a location near the station.
This section deals with what can be done on the Internet, and what exactly it is.
It will give you a better understanding of what is on the screen in front of you
right now.
