 Usenet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use.
Usenet is a distributed Internet discussion system that evolved from a general purpose UUCP network of the same name.
Usenet was the initial Internet community and the place for many of the most important public developments in the commercial internet.

 What is Usenet?
Usenet is available on a wide variety of computer systems and networks, but the bulk of modern Usenet traffic is transported over either the Internet or UUCP.
Usenet encompasses government agencies, large universities, high schools, businesses of all sizes, home computers of all descriptions, etc, etc. (In response to the above paragraphs, it has been written that there is nothing vague about a network that carries megabytes of traffic per day.
So no one program or package can be called "the Usenet software." Software designed to support Usenet traffic can be (and is) used for other kinds of communication, usually without risk of mixing the two.

In its simplest form, Usenet represents democracy, or the right to share almost everything that could be possibly shared from a computer.

Early Usenet users had one thing in common – their passion to discuss a broad range of topics and ideas from politics, science and technology to philosophy, science fiction, literature, or music.
