TL;DR: For the clinical laboratory, the Internet provides high-speed communications through e-mail and allows the retrieval of important information held in repositories, but this capability comes at a price, including the need to manage a complex technology and the risk of instrusions on patient privacy.
Abstract: The Internet started as a research project by the Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for networking computers. Ironically, the networking project now predominantly supports human rather than computer communications. The Internet's growth, estimated at 20% per month, has been fueled by commercial and public perception that it will become an important medium for merchandising, marketing, and advertising. For the clinical laboratory, the Internet provides high-speed communications through e-mail and allows the retrieval of important information held in repositories. All this capability comes at a price, including the need to manage a complex technology and the risk of instrusions on patient privacy.
