Reviews
With nary a hint of condescension, this solid video overview of the Internet discusses a fairly broad range of issues, making two important points: 1) the net is comparable to the biggest library ever owing to the linking of millions of servers full of information, and 2) no one actually designed the Internet, it just kind of happened an idea that might not come across clearly in a book. Other topics include standard terms, domain names, online auctions, and e-mail. Teachers could use this as a lead-in to a discussion or as a basic introduction for young or new users; recommended.
