Abstract: The Internet, the global network which connects millions of computers in a web, makes almost immediate communication possible, irrespective of the location of its users.The fast growth in the total number of users, both private and professional, is exceeding most predictions.Likewise, the amount of accessible medical information is increasing rapidly.Ideally, this could provide a formidable opportunity for paediatricians to exchange and process medical information with colleagues around the world from their oYce or home.Can the Internet be of any practical use to the paediatrician today?A non-technical commentary is given here, with examples of the clinical, educational, and research applications available today as well as possible future directions.
