Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "pull" refers to the idea that users actively seek out and select the websites and information they want to view on the Internet, rather than being forced or pushed to view certain content. This distinguishes the Internet from more traditional forms of media like television or radio, which use a "push" approach to broadcasting content to a mass audience. The terms "selective" and "discriminating" are similar in meaning to "pull," but are not as commonly used to describe the Internet as a medium. "Monopolistic" is not an appropriate term to describe the user-driven nature of the Internet.
