tion between computers in disparate electric networks,
the Intemet has evolved into a popular ve-                            【M1】_____

research centers, joining them as branches on a tree to larger networks known as backbones. Once a computer is on-line, that is,

chat with other computer users, or instant send opin-                 【M4】_____

"upload" to their computers virtu-                                    【M9】_____
ally free of charge. With electronic access to data from all over the world, scholarly research that in the past would have required months of
travel could now be done at one’s desk.                               【M10】_____
【M1】
