The Internet is the world's largest computer network with over 25 million users worldwide, and this number is doubling from year to year. The Internet is like an international highway of information. Now, you sit at home at the computer, choose a route and arrive at your destination -that is, the information you need. But you'll need to be a good navigator because the scale of the network is global.

The Internet was born about 25 years ago, when scientists linked up their computers by satellite in order to exchange information. Soon, universities and research departments hooked up too and, before long, an international communication network had been created. Over 60 countries in the world have been connected to the Internet so far. However, the lack of a reliable telephone system, which allows users to hook up, prevents further expansion of the "net" and the services it offers.

 To tell the truth, there are problems with modern technology like the Internet. Copyright and censorship laws have just been applied to the Internet. As a result, unscrupulous people are still exploiting it. But governments and computer experts are concerned about the misuse of the system and must do their best to prevent it.
