The Internet, a global computer network which embraces millions of users all over the world began in the United States in 1969 as a military experiment. It was designed to survive a nuclear war. Information sent over the Internet takes the shortest path available from once computer to another. Because of this, any two computers on the Internet will be able to stay in touch with earth other as long as there is a single route between them. This technology is called Packet switching. Owing to this technology, if some computers on the network are knocked out(by a nuclear explosion, for example), information will just route around them. One such packet switching network already survived a war. It was the Iraqi computer network which was not knocked out during the Gulf War.

Most of the Internet host computers (more than 50%) are in the United States, while the rest are located in more than 100 countries. Although the number of host computers can be counted fairly accurately, nobody knows exactly how many people use the Internet, there are millions, and their number is growing by thousands each month worldwide.

The most popular Internet service is e-mail. Most of the people who have access to the Internet use the network only for sending and receiving e-mail messages.

In many developing countries the Internet may provide businessmen with a reliable alternative to the expensive and unreliable telecommunication systems of these countries. Commercial users can communicate over the Internet with the rest of the world and can do it very cheaply. When they send e-mail messages, they only have to pay for phone calls to their local service providers, not for calls across their countries or around the world. But who actually pays for sending e-mail messages over the Internet long-distances, around the world? The answer is very simple: a user pays his/her service provider a monthly or an hourly fee. Part of this fee goes towards its costs the larger provider goes to cover its cost of running a worldwide network of wires and wireless stations.

But saving money is only the first step. If people see that they can make money from the Internet, commercial use of this network will drastically increase. For example, some western architecture companies already transmit their basic designs and concepts over the Internet into China, where they are reworked and refined by skilled - but inexpensive - Chinese computer aided - design specialists.

However, some problems remain. The most important is security. When you send an e-mail message to somebody, this message can travel through many different networks and computers. The data are constantly being directed towards its destination by special computers called routers. Because of this, it is possible to get into any of the computers along the route, intercept and even change the data being sent over the Internet. In spite of the fact that there are many encoding programs available, nearly all the information is transmitted without any form of encoding. But when it becomes necessary to send important information over the network, these encoding programs may be useful. Some American banks and companies conduct transactions over the Internet. However, there are still both commercial and technical problems which will take time to be resolved.

A16 The Internet was designed for...

1. scientific purposes.

1. business success.

2. academic achievements.

3. an Army project.

A17 Packet switching assumes...

1. multiple routes between the computers.
