 “Information technology permeates the daily routine of many Canadians.  The Internet has made
information available to many people almost instantaneously and surveys commissioned by Statistics Canada show that the number of people who use the Internet regularly is increasing steadily.”
 “ Many employees are working from offices in their homes, collaborating with co-workers in other buildings or cities, or are self-employed and work from a computerized home office.  It is important for these people to have a basic understanding of networks, computers, hardware and the Internet in order to ensure the reliability of their work environment.”
