About the Internet

Generally speaking, there are four ways to learn about the Internet, and each of them is important:

Books

Thousand of books are available and they cover a wide range of ideas and complexity. Visit a bookstore and browse till you find some things of interest.

Magazines

Dozens of magazines cater specifically to computer users and Internet applications. Visit a newsstand and you’ll quickly find several items of interest.

Videotapes and Audiocassettes

Through “interactive” instruction, you can use these educational tools to SEE and HEAR a great deal of information about the Internet.

The Web Itself

Spend time on the Internet is the most important of all—whether you’re searching for specific information or just “surfing” around to learn what’s out there. The more you see, the more you’ll learn!

And since you’re obviously on the Internet right now, you might be interested in any of the links that follow!
