How to get Started On the Internet

Twenty years ago, few people had even heard of the Internet. Today, it is an integral part of the lives of millions, young and old, at home and at work. Recent estimates put the number of cyberspace users worldwide at more than 600 million or probably more, and project nearly half a billion will be online within five years. If you are not already among them, you are missing one of the most significant communications revolutions ever to shake the planet.

The Internet literally places all the information resources of the world at your fingertips. You can use the Internet to find and communicate with people who share your interests, talk to family and friends using Skype and Facebook, etc. Until you explore the World Wide Web, you cannot begin to comprehend the breadth or depth of all it offers. There is really not much required. All you need is a system, a connection, ideas, resources and curiosity.
