: What is Internet? |
"The Internet" refers to the worldwide network
of interconnected computers, all of which use a common
protocol known as TCP/IP to communicate with each
other. Every publicly accessible web site is hosted
by a web server computer, which is a part of the Internet.
Every personal computer, cell phone or other device
that people use to look at web sites is also a part
of the Internet. The Internet also makes possible
email, games and other applications unrelated to the
World Wide Web.

The vast collection
of interconnected networks that all use the TCP/IP
protocols and that evolved from the ARPANET of the
late 1960s and early 1970s. The Internet connects
roughly 60,000 independent networks into a vast, global
Internet.
