Question: What is more impressive than the pyramids, more beautiful than Michelangelo's David and more important to mankind than the wondrous inventions of the Industrial Revolution? (see Footnote 1 below) To the converted, there can be only one answer: The Internet, that undisciplined radical electronic communications network that is shaping our universe. This article will give a brief outline of the history of electronic communications in general and the Internet in particular, how to join in, and what you will find in this brave new world. I will also describe ways in which electronic communications can be used for research and classroom teaching so that you and your students can benefit from the wonders of "The Net." And finally, I will hazard a few predictions on where we can expect our "electronic superhighway" (as the Internet is also called) to take us in the coming decade. However, what I cannot do, in this simple article, is impart the wonderment and fun that can overtake the Internet voyager or even the novice. A complete and exhaustive explanation of all of the possibilities for electronic enjoyment and edification would take a book; and books on the Internet already abound. Thus, this article presents for the beginner, a brief and simple overview of some of the most popular functions of the Internet, and fills in the blanks with a bibliography.
