Description
If you want to find out what all the fuss is about, this is the book for you. You are never alone in cyberspace. Millions of people log on to the Internet every day. Some want to send e-mails, play a game or buy a CD, others simply want to find the quickest route to Ashby de la Zouch or who Archibald Leach was. And the incredible thing is that much of this mass of information and interactivity is still completely free. Discover the very modern history of the Internet, its idealistic origins and cultural and commercial aspects. Find out just what the Internet can do and how to get the most out of it, from sending a humble e-mail to WAP, Webcams and MP3. Discover who the movers and shakers are and find out about the new professions spawned by the Net and where you can train for them.
