The Internet is Everywhere
The Internet affects the entire world, but nowhere more so than in the United States, where it first began to grow. You cannot watch American television, read a newspaper or magazine, or even have much of a conversation in the United States without running into the subject of the Internet. “High-tech” companies, especially Internet companies, are constantly in the news. The phrase “e-commerce” refers to business done over the Internet (by e-mail and through the World Wide Web). Since the Internet is becoming such an integral part of American life, it pays anyone who wants to live in the United States effectively to learn how to use it. Even if you do not have your own computer, you can access the Internet, usually for free, at nearly any public library.
