Exploring
the Internet at PC Professor
Every day, from home or
office, millions of people use the Internet. They send e-mail around the
world. They tap new sources of vital information. If you're new to the Internet, it may seem mysterious, so we've designed this class for you
in mind.
The Internet is a vast network of computers - ranging from
banks of powerful corporate machines to a single computer in a
teenager's bedroom - linked together by cables and telephone lines. The
best known part of the Internet is the World Wide Web,
characterized by rich multimedia files that combine text with graphics,
audio, photographs, and video. Other less celebrated parts of the
Internet exist, carrying computer files that have fewer graphics, such
as text documents and databases; but the Web provides the deepest
Internet experience.
The term cyberspace is sometimes used to refer to the
non-physical space where all this data exists. In these days of
satellite links, you don't even necessarily have to be connected by a
wire, you can view the Internet via your television. If this
interests you, ask us about Adelphia's Powerlink project. Our Boca
Raton office is proud to be an official demo site for Adelphia and will
gladly arrange a presentation of this blazing new technology for you.
Our other offices use similar high speed
technology to ensure a productive surfing experience for you and your classmates.
