From the Paper:

"The human need for current information and knowledge continues to grow as each year passes, and is presently as high as it has ever been. At the center of this basic need is the Internet, "a system of linked computer networks, worldwide in scope, that facilitate the transfer of data" (Hackbrath 192), and the World Wide Web, "a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents containing text, graphic, audio, video, and other types of files" (Hackbrath 192). The Internet and the Web have already changed the way modern society lives and functions, and will continue to do so as they evolve further."
