Chapter 2 The Internet and WWW

One of the major reasons home, business, and other users purchase computers is for Internet use. The book says that today more than one billion home and business users around the world access a variety of services on the Internet. The Internet has its roots in a networking project started by The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, an agency of the US Department of Defense. Chapter 2 also covers searching the Web, major search engines, and browsing the Web.

This graph shoes the most common search engines and the ones that are used most frequently. A term that I found most important out of this chapter is netiquette. It is short for Internet etiquette and is the code for acceptable behaviors users should follow while using the Internet.
