INTERNET

The internet, short for "interconnected network," is a global system of


interconnected computer networks that enables communication and the
exchange of information between devices all over the world. It consists of
millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks
that are linked together by a broad range of electronic, wireless, and
optical networking technologies.
Here are some key points about the internet:
1. Origins: The internet has its roots in the ARPANET, a project initiated
by the U.S. Department of Défense in the late 1960s. It was
designed to create a decentralized network that could survive a
nuclear attack.
2. Protocols: The internet relies on a set of protocols called the Internet
Protocol Suite, or TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol). TCP/IP provides a standardized framework for data
transmission and enables devices to communicate with each other
over the internet.
3. World Wide Web: The World Wide Web (WWW) is a system of
interconnected hypertext documents and other resources linked by
hyperlinks. It was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by
Sir Tim Berners-Lee and played a significant role in popularizing the
internet by making it user-friendly and accessible to non-technical
users.
4. Accessing the Internet: Users can access the internet through
various means, including wired connections (such as Ethernet or
Fiber optic cables) and wireless technologies (such as Wi-Fi,
3G/4G/5G cellular networks, or satellite connections).
5. Internet Service Providers (ISPs): ISPs are companies that provide
individuals and organizations with access to the internet. They offer
various types of connections, such as broadband, DSL, cable, or dial-
up, depending on the infrastructure available in a particular area.
Services and Applications: The internet hosts a vast array of
services and applications, including email, web browsing, social
media.
