The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible network of networks. It enables individuals and businesses alike, through interconnected computer networks, to share information, resources, and services.
In the beginning, the Internet was used strictly for scientific, educational, and military research. In 1991, regulations changed to allow businesses and consumers to connect as well. The Internet has grown rapidly, and is now global. New technologies are continuously being developed that make the Internet easier and more attractive to use. Online applications are available to the Internet user, including email, web browsing, streaming music and video, gaming, and instant messaging.
