The Internet is a global network of interconnected computers and servers that communicate with each other using standardized protocols. It enables the exchange of data and information across vast distances, allowing users to access websites, send emails, stream videos, and engage in numerous online activities. The Internet operates on a decentralized structure, meaning there is no single governing body; instead, it is maintained by a variety of organizations and institutions worldwide. It plays a crucial role in modern communication, commerce, education, and entertainment, impacting virtually all aspects of daily life.

The term “Internet” can encompass various technologies, including the infrastructure (such as fiber optic cables and routers) and the numerous protocols that enable data transmission, such as TCP/IP.
