THE STORY BEHIND "INTERNET"
This is a guided tour along, what I call, the Electric Midway. Others call it the Web or Internet.This tour is aimed at novices and beginners, nerds and students, the self-employed and African-Americans, like me, who may be curious and who haven't yet learned the ropes. I suppose, it won't be a grand Safari but rather a Disneyesque expedition. It is an essay not really intended to be a practical manual.

EXCERPT
"Won't you come into my parlour?" said the spider to the fly, "It's the loveliest little parlour you ever did spy."Surprisingly, despite its immaterial nature, the internet is a world filled with all the social divisions and laws and other distinct features that any world has. With "front" entrances and "side" entrances, with protocol and clubs, portals and passageways, passwords and "traffic" intersections. It has a hierarchy of lords and moguls all the way down to bankrupt peons and has-beens losers, all wrangling for dominance in the realm of Cyberspace.The language is pungent, spunky and racy. With terminology like bits and hits, harvesters, crawlers, ezines, codes, links, priority, domains, hosting, pyramid schemes, etc.
