    ACTIVITY NUMBER 1B

    1. READ THE TEXT AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

    What is the internet?


    The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the
    standard Internet protocol suite, a set of communications protocols, to serve
    billions of users worldwide. The internet has reshaped and redefined most
    traditional communications media including telephone, music, film, and television.
    This has given birth to new services. Newspaper, book and other print publishing
    are adapting to Web site technology, or are reshaped into blogging and web feeds.

    The Internet has enabled or accelerated new forms of human interactions through
    instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking. Online shopping has
    boomed both for major retail outlets and small artisans and traders. Business-to-
    business and financial services on the Internet affect supply chains across entire
    industries.

    The origins of the Internet reach back to research of the 1960s, commissioned by
    the United States government in collaboration with private commercial interests to
    build robust, fault-tolerant, and distributed computer networks. The
    commercialization of what was by the 1990s an international network resulted in
    its popularization and incorporation into virtually every aspect of modern human
    life. As of 2011, more than 2.1 billion people — nearly a third of Earth's population
    — use the services of the Internet.
