Nothing in recent history has transformed our daily lives as dramatically as the Internet. It has radically and permanently changed the way we inform ourselves, amuse ourselves, meet people, bank, shop, and stay in touch. And it is growing at unprecedented rates. A survey released earlier this month confirmed that there was 3.1 million increase in hostnames from October to November. Currently there are 190,655,992 web sites compared to 40 million sites in April 2003.
