1. Internet
The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the
Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that
consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global
scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The
Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-
linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail,
telephony, and file sharing.
The Internet is a global wide area network that connects computer systems across the
world. It includes several high-bandwidth data lines that comprise the Internet "backbone."
These lines are connected to major Internet hubs that distribute data to other locations, such as
web servers and ISPs.
