Maybe you heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it?
The Internet includes many different networks(网络) around the world. A network is a group of computers put together. These networks joined together are called the Internet.
Maybe that doesn't sound interesting. But when we join the Internet, there are lots of things we can do. We can use the Internet instead of a library to find all kinds of information for our homework. We can find information about our favorite sports or film stars and do shopping on the Internet. We can also send messages to other people by email. It's much cheaper and quicker than calling our friends or sending a letter.
Because of the Internet, the world is becoming smaller and smaller. People can now work at home with a computer, get and send the information they need. But do you know 98% of the information is in English? So what will English be like tomorrow?
