Internet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Flock U.S. Army soldiers "surfing the Internet" at Forward Operating Base Yusifiyah, Iraq The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide. It is a network of networks[1] that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support email, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing and telephony. Most traditional communications media, including telephony and television, are being reshaped or redefined by the Internet, giving birth to new services such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet Protocol television (IPTV).

I don’t think websites & microsites are dead yet.

Nearly Four-In-Ten Canadian Adults (37%) Have Visited Online Social Networks And Three-In-Ten (29%) Have A Personal Profile On One Home / News & Polls / Thursday, October 04, 2007 Vancouver, BC – Online social networks and communities appear to have hit the Internet with the momentum of a runaway locomotive. Younger Canadian adults are much more likely to have visited these websites and to have placed a personal profile on at least one of them. Not only have Internet users signed up in droves, but most visitors of these sites end up putting on a profile. Scott Patton, Senior Research Manager in Western Canada says, "This is a staggering result given that these sites didn't exist four years ago. Canadian adults who have heard of and/or visited an online social network spend an average of 5.4 hours per week browsing and using online social networks. It is possible that use of online social networks will not continue to grow as rapidly as it already has. Even with an expected slower uptake in the future, Canadian adults who use online social networks will still represent a significant demographic for years to come.
