There are many different kinds of computers now. All of them can be joined to the Internet.Most of them are small machines sitting on people's desks at home ,but there are still many others in schools,offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies ,but no one really owns the Internet itself .
There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet.For example ,your school may have the Internet. You can use it during lessons or free time.Libraries often have computer joined to the Internet.You are welcome to use it at any time.
