In the simplest of terms, the Internet is a tool for communication from one computer to another (Gray & Cao, 2000; Saha, 1998). When thought of as a tool, the usefulness of this network of networks becomes apparent. It allows quick, economical communication of information to individuals and large groups of people connected to the internet. It also makes available a staggering amount of information on virtually every imaginable subject. One example of the usefulness of the Internet is the plethora of political and interest groups using the internet to communicate and provide information in ways and with ease virtually unimaginable twenty years ago. The most common uses of the Internet are electronic mail and information and resource retrieval. These are the applications that are considered in this article with specific focus on their use for advocacy in health education. The authors conclude that Health education advocacy efforts should merge onto the "information superhighway" known as the Internet. They further add that professional organizations, as well as inservice and preservice professionals, should examine the contribution they can make to development of an internet-based advocacy network. The Internet can serve as a key tool in the profession's effort to create systemic change that will help produce a healthier world.
