THE history, growth and structure of the Internet and the role of domain names and related addressing systems, their impact on industries and the overall information society, will be discussed at the close of TechWeek today.

Jacob Malthouse, of The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), will deliver his lecture, "The Internet — Thinking like a Network: A Digital Immigrant's Guide", at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration at 2.30 p.m.

The Internet is a common feature in almost everyone's life and his address will provide interesting insight into the Internet for people of all ages who are interested in how it works.

Those attending will also learn about ICANN — an organisation that ensures that you find the web site you are looking for, no matter where in world it is located.
