This week's {InfoWorld} (Feb 4, page 48) has a two-page description of what the Internet is all about; the main article is titled: Riding the Internet - This vast collection of networks is a mistery even to people who call it home. on page 57 are two side-bar articles titled: JUST WHO OWNS THE INTERNET and HOW TO GET ON THE INTERNET. Not every statement is completely correct, but its as good an introduction as I have seen in the popular press (useful part of a collection of handouts to give to someone.)
