Internet (Ancestors)

The global information highway that allows access to staggering amounts of information and quick and easy communication with people around the world.

Internet (Business)

The vast collection in inter-connected networks that provide electronic mail and access to the World Wide Web.

Internet (Computer Technology)

The worldwide collection of over a million hosts that can communicate with each other using TCP/IP. The lowercase internet basically means multiple networks connected together.

Internet (Direct Marketing)

A global network connecting more than 100 countries and millions of computers.

Internet (Distance Learning)

An overarching network of smaller computer networks which allows communication and data sharing through many means, such as Bulletin Boards, Internet Relay Chat, the World Wide Web, and many kinds of E-Mail servers.

Internet (Domain Names)

International network of networks, the world's largest network of interconnected computers used by individuals, organizations and business for the exchange of information, goods and services. The Internet came into being between the late 1970s and early 1980s with the development and adoption of TCP/IP, which allowed ARPAnet to join with other networks. Although often thought of as synonymous with the World Wide Web, the Internet encompasses much more than just web servers and hypertext documents. The major Internet services include electronic mail, Usenet public discusion groups, and all of the systems used to deliver software, text, music, images and other works information between those computers, including gopher, Telnet, FTP and WAIS."The Internet is not a physical or tangible entity, but rather a giant network which interconnects innumerable smaller groups of linked computer networks. It is thus a network of networks." ACLU v. Reno, 929 F. Supp. at 830

Internet (E-Learning)

An international network first used to connect education and research networks, begun by the US government. The Internet now provides communication and application services to an international base of businesses, consumers, educational institutions, governments, and research organizations.

Internet (Ework)

The worldwide networking of separate computer systems and networks into one "information superhighway". To get around, "browse," or "surf" this complex interconnection of networks, special software and hardware are needed. The cost of such equipment would be prohibitive for individuals, or even most companies. However, a user can gain access to the internet via an Internet Service Provider(ISP). One cannot get onto the internet simply by buying a computer, but must also contract with an ISP, usually for a monthly fee. Compuserve, AOL, Worldnet, MSN, and Mindspring are just a few of the hundreds of ISP's available.

Internet (HIV and AIDs)

That thing you're surfing on.

Internet (Health Informatics)

Internet (Health Insurance)

A public, international collection of interconnected computer networks.

Internet (Help Desk)

An electronic communications network that connects computers and organizational computers globally.

Internet (Information Security)

The world's largest collection of networks ranging from small organisations to large corporations, universities or governments.

Internet (Interactive Marketing)

A worldwide system of computer networks providing reliable and redundant connectivity between disparate computers and systems by using common transport and data protocols.

Internet (Interactive Services Marketing)

Global computer network that links computers via communication lines such as television cables, telephone lines, or wireless connections.

Internet (Internet)

The Internet is a global web of interconnected computer networks. There are tens of thousands of networks consisting of millions of individual computers. An individual or an organization can pay a monthly fee for connection to the Internet and then share e-mail and file transfers with other users. There are a great many information sources (databases) on the Internet and if the user has the proper type of Internet connection, they can access them. The Internet is not owned by any one company but was begun by the US government to interconnect universities and department of defense facilities. Today, it is an ad-hoc accumulation of wires owned and managed by a wide range of public and private firms involved in academic and commercial disciplines.

Internet (Java)

An enormous network consisting of literally millions of hosts from many organizations and countries around the world. It is physically put together from many smaller networks and data travels by a common set of protocols.

Internet (Library)

The global network of computers linked together, accessible mainly via the World Wide Web.

Internet (Networking)

(Upper case “I”). The vast collection of inter-connected networks that use TCP/IP protocols evolved from the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.

Internet (Storage Media)

A worldwide system of linked computer networks.

Internet (Supply Chain)

A computer term which refers to an interconnected group of computer networks from all parts of the world, i.e., a network of networks. Accessed via a modem and an online service provider, it contains many information resources and acts as a giant electronic message routing system.
Interstate Commerce: The transportation of persons or property between states; in the course of the movement, the shipment crosses a state boundary.
Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC): An independent regulatory agency that implements federal economic regulations controlling railroads, motor carriers, pipelines, domestic water carriers, domestic surface freight forwarders, and brokers.
Interstate System: The National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, 42,000 miles of four-lane, limited-access roads connecting major population centers.

Internet (Technology)

Short for internetwork. A set of computer networks that may be dissimilar and are joined together by means of gateways that handle data transfer and conversion of messages from the sending networks' protocols to those of the receiving network.The worldwide collection of networks and gateways that use the TCP/IP suite of protocols to communicate with one another. At the heart of the Internet is a backbone of high-speed data communication lines between major nodes or host computers, consisting of thousands of commercial, government, educational, and other computer systems, that route data and messages. One or more Internet nodes can go off line without endangering the Internet as a whole or causing communications on the Internet to stop, because no single computer or network controls it. The genesis of the Internet was a decentralized network called ARPANET created by the Department of Defense in 1969 to facilitate communications in the event of a nuclear attack. Eventually other networks, including BITNET, Usenet, UUCP, and NSFnet, were connected to ARPANET. Currently, the Internet offers a range of services to users, such as FTP, e-mail, the World Wide Web, Usenet news, Gopher, IRC, telnet, and others. Also called Net. See also BITNET, FTP1 (definition 1), Gopher, IRC, NSFnet, telnet1, Usenet, UUCP, World Wide Web.
