Internet
The Internet, or simply the Net, is the
worldwide, publicly accessible system of interconnected
computer networks that transmit data by packet switching
using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It consists of
millions of smaller business, academic, domestic, and government
networks, which together carry various information and services,
such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked Web
pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide
Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of
interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires,
fiber-optic cables, wireless connections etc.; the Web is a
collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks
and URLs, and is accessible using the Internet.

In economics, business is the social science of
managing people to organize and maintain collective productivity
toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals, usually
to generate revenue.
The etymology of "business" refers to the state of being busy, in the
context of the individual as well as the community or society.
The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the
scope — the general usage (above), the singular usage to refer to
a particular company or corporation, and the generalized usage to
refer to a particular market sector, such as "the record business,"
"the computer business," or "the business community" -- the
community of suppliers of goods and services.
The singular "business" can be a legally-recognized entity within
an economically free society, wherein individuals organize based on
expertise and skills to bring about social and technological advancement.
With some exceptions, (such as cooperatives, non-profit organizations
and (typically) government institutions), businesses are formed to earn
profit and grow the personal wealth of its leaders.
In other words, the owners and operators of a business have as one
of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial
return in exchange for their work — that is, the expense of time,
energy, and money.
