Accessibility
Because of the nature of the internet- an interconnected system- it is increasingly accessible to anyone with a computer
and modem.
Much like a local library that contains a systematic collection of books, journals, references etc that is easily accessed
by any one in the surrounding area, the internet is a global version that allows computers (and their users) to be connected
from anywhere in the world.
This includes any location aside from your place of business or your home, such as- Internet cafes, libraries, schools,
airports, restaurants, cars/limos, supermarkets and the list goes on.
