THE
WORLD WIDE WEB : This is a collection of hypertext files available
for consultation over a simple telephone line. The files are
known as HTML (hypertext mark-up language) pages which can be perused just
like a book. You can find newspapers, magazines, dictionaries and
lots of other resources.
But hypertext
goes beyond the stage of simple consultation, and sometimes requires the
user to be more active, completing feedback forms, answering interactive
questionnaires, etc. |

becoming the most widely used service on the internet. Amongst its
many advantages are its speed, and its low cost. If you

consult and save your e-mail on any machine connected to the internet,
then try here.
