It begins to work as soon as it begins to live. Every spider is a weaver. Even the youngest spider knows how to weave its web just as well as the oldest.The silk Of which it makes its web comes from its body. It is like theirs. Many of these hairs come out at the same time, but they are all formed into one rope of silk. It is so thin that a hundred of them together are only as thick as a human hair.First the spider fastens one end of the silk thread to a leaf or to a piece of wood; then it goes and fastens the other end.When the spider fastens both ends, it can run down the silk and fix some more threads. These are the cross ropes of the web. Then it weaves other lines round them, and makes about twenty rings.The spider works hard and fast, and it finishes its work in less than an hour. The web is then so strong that the wind cannot blow it away and the rain cannot break it. The purpose of the spiders web is to catch insects, which are its food.Insects cannot walk or fly out of the web, because the spider covers it all with a sort of stuff like glue, which sticks to anything that touches the web and holds it fast.Not all the spiders have the same sort of work to do.Some spiders are masons.

The Internet is a computerized communication network.In the early days, the Internet was very difficult to use. Unlike today, there were no office or personal computers.

They also had to learn to use very complex comp11ter programs.In the l970s, news companies and edl1cational institutions around the world became interested in the development of Internet sites. They started to set up sites and linked these with scientists and engineers in America.Satellite developmel1t in space helped to make this possible. So, networks started and this meant that information could he exchanged quickly. By the l980s, tl1e first e-mails were being sent.As the Internet systems became standardized, the Internet became easier for people to use. However, most people still found it very difficult. Throughout the l980s, many programs were being developed to make using the Internet easier. Then, in 199l, the World Wide Web was created by a group of people including a man called Tim Berners-Lee, in Switzerland. At first, the World Wide Web was very different to how it appears today. One difference is that then commercial use was restricted. Now, millions of people around the world can access the World Wide Web.Commercial use is unlimited and it links l70 different countries together.
