Internet 101 (Resource) It is estimated that one person joins the internet every 1.5 seconds. That means that over 400,000 people joined in this last week alone. This translates to millions of questions on who, what, when, where, why and how, regarding the use of this wonderful new medium. Well, we try to answer some of these questions each month, but it would be impossible to get to all of them. That's why we point you to sites like Internet 101. This is a well thought out and designed site that will answer many of your questions in a non-technical style. Learn what the internet is, how to search, where to find great software and much, much more. The site humorously and appropriately describes its style as "a set of instructions...for people who don't like to read instructions." So if you're new to the Net, sign up for Internet 101 (detentions not included :-) ).
