title: Ophthalmology's interaction with the Internet (you say, 'Internet what?').
abstract: 1. You can be connected to the information Highway by a local phone call. So, you will have a monthly charge for your access, but not a more expensive phone bill. 2. Mail lists are discussion groups; actually, they are "computer remailers." When you join a mail list, your e-mail address is entered into a computer, along with a group of people with common interest on the Net. 3. The World Wide Web is the graphical and multimedia part of the Internet--color, sound, video, and all! To access the World Wide Web, you'll need a browser. A browser is a piece of software that allows you to look at all the Web's various home pages and websites. Organizations, individuals, universities, and corporations have Web addresses (called URLs) that allow you to look at their "roadside stand" on this Information Highway.
