NetWorld! What People Are Really Doing on the Internet and What It Means to You

Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes appeared in a separate section at the end of the text, with the note number restarting for each chapter. In this version, those numbers are retained, but are prefixed with the chapter number, e.g., 1.1, 2.5, 6.7, etc.
There are blocks of text with dotted boundaries, sometime spanning pages, which are inserted into the main text. These have been moved to avoid falling on paragraph breaks, and sometimes joined where page breaks occur. They are given here within a dashed border, in order to call out their separate nature.
There are many URLs in the text, given the topic, but it is unlikely that any are still extant, given the publication date in 1995.
Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections tale in the note at the end of the text.
