The internet and the World Wide Web are the items for discussion from chapter 7. The chapter first focuses on the internet. It breaks it down into connecting to the net and resources. There are a couple of different ways to connect to the net. You can use a modem and an ISP. With the use of a modem you can either have a DSL or cable connection. The chapter then breaks down resources on the web. These include e-mail, discussions, mailing lists, chat, video-conferencing, and news-groups. The chapter then describes the web in breaking it down to the basics including web pages, sites and URLs, HTML, and browsers. It also tells the different things that are available on the web.
This chapter just reinforced my knowledge of the web and the internet. I use the internet and the web every day. Most of the time on the web is just surfing around but the rest of the time is used for research for homework. This chapter is a great refresher for someone who has not used the web in a little while and may forget how to utilize all of its features.
