The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked

World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
The typographic character @ (called the at sign) is an abbreviation of the accounting term, at the rate of (e.g. "7 widgets @ $2 = $14").

On some online forums @ is used to denote a reply; for instance: "@Jane" to respond to a comment Jane made earlier. @ is also used as a prefix to user names (e.g. "@username") on Twitter to denote a link or attribution.
