The '''Internet''' is a global network of interconnected computers, enabling users to share [[information]] along multiple channels. Typically, a computer that connects to the Internet can access information from a vast array of available |servers and other computers by moving information from them to the computer's local [[memory]]. The same connection allows that computer to send information to servers on the network; that information is in turn accessed and potentially modified by a variety of other interconnected computers. A majority of widely accessible information on the Internet consists of inter-linked [[hypertext]] documents and other resources of the [[World Wide Web]] (WWW). Computer users typically manage sent and received information with web browsers; other software for users' interface with computer networks includes specialized programs for electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and file sharing.

The movement of information in the Internet is achieved via a system of interconnected computer networks that share [[data]] by packet switching using the standardized Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of [[private]] and [[public]], [[academic]], business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by coppe wires, fiber-optic cables, [[wireless]] connections, and other technologies.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet]
