Introduction to the Internet

[andrewducker]

In response to green_amber's request for an introduction to how the internet works, so she can hand it to non-technical people who deal with the internet, I've written this on my Wiki.

I'd really appreciate people taking a look and leaving comments here.

Might be nice to explain how it started.. and include some of the earlier pre-cursors to the "Internet"...

Not necessary to understand what it is. If people want a complete guide then there are those available. I want the minimum necessary for people to have an understanding of what's going on when they use it.

I get that. But capital looks right. (Sub editor - 83-85)

FYI, Wired stopped capitalizing "internet." Stylewise, either works, though I prefer the lowercase myself...
