This is how the project began [in|by] the early 1970s. Inventors of the Internet decided to try to link universities [by|with] computers. They believed they could link computers [at|in] these universities by telephone. University researchers working [at|on] the same project could share large amounts of information very quickly. The computer was linked to a telephone [with|by] a device called a modem. The modem turned computer information [into|for] electronic messages that are sounds. These messages passed through the telephone equipment to the modem [on|at] the other end of the telephone line. This receiving modem changed the sound messages back into information the computer could use. The university could share information [between|among] themselves and the links quickly grew into a major network. Some experts said it was easier to think [of|about] this network of computers as streets in a city. One could be surprised [at|with] how information was found [in|at] the given address. Local networks were and are today like the city streets. And communication links between distant local networks still resemble the major highways. These highways make communication possible [between|among] networks in different areas of the world. Today experts say there are hundreds of millions of computers connected [to|in] networks that provide links with computers [around|round] the world. It will be no big exaggeration to say that in many countries computers are now available " [at|in] every street corner". However, modems are rarely used these days giving way [to|for] wi-fi.
