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 '''Internet''' is a global network of interconnected computers, enabling users to share [[information]] along multiple channels.
