It has no central headquarters, no centrally offered services, and no comprehensive online index to tell users what information is available in the system.

 To gain access to the internet, the computer must be equipped with what is called a server which has a special software (program) that uses the Internet protocol. Originally developed and still subsidized by the United States government, the Internet connect not only commercial, industrial, scientific establishments but all other sectors including education and its libraries, campuses, and computer centers.
