Read this paragraph:
11. The Internet is an incalculable tool for research. It is a network
of thousands of computers across the world. Researchers, students,
government agencies, schools, businesses and individuals have left
multigigabytes of free information on these computers, available to anyone
with a computer and an Internet connection. There are thousands of "web
sites", as they are called, with text, pictures, sounds, and movie clips.
You can see this material by simply sending out the appropriate Internet
address, and after a few moments, it appears on your screen. You can type
in the address directly, or you can automatically invoke an address by
tapping on an icon or an underlined "link" on the home page of a web site
that you already have on your screen. Often the information can be printed
or downloaded (copied) directly to your local computer and saved on your
own diskette.
