Anglika has dealt with the problems with the English. I'll address a few points of fact:
1 People do many things with the Internet apart from searching for information - e-mail, file transfer ...
2 The Internet doesn't have 'fields'. A net browser such as Internet Explorer presents information in fields.
3 If you look back far enough in the development of the Internet, it was 'made to enhance' US military security during the Cold War. Computer networks at the time had a single point of vulnerability (in IBM's terms, 'the network host'). The object of the ARPAnet (
ARPANET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - the forerunner of the Internet) was to have a network that could survive an attack on any single computer or subnet.
You're probably referring to the World-Wide Web
World Wide Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Many people think the Internet is the same as the WWW, although the WWW is just one of many systems that use the Internet. The WWW was 'made to enhance' the sharing of information in a research community - CERN.
