What is the Internet?What is the Internet?

First, let's ensure we understand the Internet and how it works.

The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers and devices that communicate using standardized protocols. It enables the exchange of data and information across vast distances, connecting people, businesses, and institutions worldwide.

Think of the Internet as a massive web of digital highways, where data packets travel from one point to another, facilitated by routers and servers. Everything is connected through physical cables. There is no magic behind it. 😁

An analogy in real life is a bustling city. Imagine each computer or device connected to the Internet as a building and the Internet itself as the intricate network of roads and pathways that link them. Just as people move from one place to another within a city, data moves from one device to another across the Internet. And just as different parts of a city serve other purposes, there are various online spaces and services on the Internet, like websites, social media platforms, and online marketplaces.

It's important to note that the Internet is not a tangible thing you can see or touch, nor is it a cloud floating in the sky. Instead, it's a complex infrastructure of hardware, cables, and software that facilitates global communication and information exchange.
