Ask Candid Candice a question about Moo Canada:

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a global network of computer networks. It is a distributed system, meaning that there is no central computer, and nobody controls it. The Internet serves as the platform upon which several very useful communications applications are run:

E-Mail: Electronic mail. Person to person, or via mailing lists.
World Wide Web: Very popular hyperlinked graphical interface.
Usenet: Newsgroups about every possible topic.
FTP: Upload and download files between computers.
Telnet: Simple text-only connection to programs like MUDs and MOOs.
Other: Less commonly used services such as Finger, IRC, RealAudio, IPhone, Cu-See-Me and ICQ.
