Here at Merit we've spent lots of hours in the last four years trying
to explain the Internet and its uses to people who don't know anything
about networks and often little about the range of uses of computers.
Send a message to NSFNET-info@merit.edu and ask for a package of
our materials to help with your talk. We'd be glad to help and answer
any other questions you have.
