It had never occurred to me to think of the World Wide Web as something different from the internet. Though a simple fact, it had never crossed my mind to think of them as different. The bold writing with this detail made me sure that others must not know the difference either. The Web is indicated by the use of www. Searching the internet involves many little computers that bring people from all walks of life together. ‘Warriors of the Net’ introduces the six characters that play a part in the workings of the internet. I understand the internet as many of little packets being transported around an interactive network. They travel on a wonderful adventure that takes just seconds for the messages to be delivered although they have to take the long way round. Rosenberg (2000, p. 1) indicates there are many different passages the messages take; a message from the US could even find itself in Europe before going back to its intended destination in France. So it appears to be a lot like the standard mailing system that we have here in Australia.
