Internet


What is Internet??
The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. According to Internet World Stats, as of June 30, 2012 there was an estimated  2,405,518,376 Internet users worldwide. This represents 34.3% of the world's population.


Who Owns the Internet?
