Format:Paperback
'In this book you can read about:-
How the World Wide Web was almost called the Mine of Information.
Which missing bit of his body a man spotted on a website.
How a gorilla starred in an on-line chat session.
How to churn, boink and blog (over 12 years only).
How, in the not too distant future, the `Incredible Internet' will allow you to experience the smells, sounds, sights and feels of places thousands of kilometres away, all without leaving the comfort of your own cyber-hovel.'
If you have read the `FOUL FOOTBALL' and `TOP TEN' series of books, you will be aware of the way in which MICHAEL COX puts knowledge across, in a humorous way. This book is no exception.
A colourful, humorous cover opens to 175 pages, split over 13 chapters:-
Introduction
Before the Internet - timeline
How the Incredible Internet cam to be invented - part one
How the Incredible Internet cam to be invented - part two

The world wide dash for dot.com dosh
The really annoying pop-up chapter
The post with the most
Hackers, crackers, trackers...and oodles of smackers
