Going by the foregoing, it is easy to agree with Wikipedia that the Internet is “the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing."

So a good reflection on this vast robust network and rich resources will prompt the question: how can we use this in our teaching and learning processes?
