Chris Puszynski The
Internet is a connection of networks throughout the world. All the computers
connected to the Internet make use of a common way of passing data backwards
and forwards. This data travels across ordinary communication lines making it
very easy for individuals and organizations to connect to the Internet. Did you know that no one
organization controls the internet? The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an
international industry consortium which both develops and promotes standard
technologies for the Web. See:
www.w3c.org. and learn more about this
organization. Since
no one owns the Internet, everyone can do almost exactly what they please,
which means information can be accurate and current or out of date and
untrue. |

When searching this great information
highway, a wave of frustration can quickly come over us when we spend hours
trying to find information. I have
talked about
www.Yahoo.com ,
www.AltaVista.com ,
www.Askjeeves.com and
www.Google.com, all search engines to help you find
information. Have you heard of a multi-search engine? Just as the name
implies, it is an engine that searches across multiple search engines. If you
have searched online, your results often includes the same site mentioned
many times. Using a multi-search
engine can eliminate this repetition. Here are two sites to visit and try out
the next time you are searching for information.
www.metaplus.com
www.isleuth.com .
