Dear Sam, Good question that I also would like to find an answer. Seems to me these trivial questions are the most difficult to answer. as you have said we have a lot of definitions of the internet as a technology device, but now many researchers are interested in finding the place of internet in social interection. Maybe these people could help you and me to find a good definition of the Internet.

Does anyone have a really good definition of the Internet. The only ones I have speaks only to the technology. Sam --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
