This week's {InfoWorld} (Feb 4, page 48) has a two-page description of
what the Internet is all about; the main article is titled: Riding the
Internet - This vast collection of networks is a mistery even to
people who call it home.  on page 57 are two side-bar articles titled:
JUST WHO OWNS THE INTERNET and HOW TO GET ON THE INTERNET.

Not every statement is completely correct, but its as good an
introduction as I have seen in the popular press (useful part of a
collection of handouts to give to someone.)
