A protocol is simply a set of rules to follow. There are protocols used in much of our daily life. Most of them, we don't even notice. For example, at the moment, we are using the English language protocol. If you were asking in English, and I responded, בעברית, כדוגמה, we would not have “communication”, unless you are also familiar with that. On top of that, we're also using a host of other protocols, like the “written-character” protocol, and its sub-protocols, which dictate things like character shape, space between letters, punctuation, to name some. Technically, these are all protocols. They are rules to follow in order to enable communication using this type of medium, which is, itself, a protocol.

The world is full of them.

The Internet, also uses rules, in order to enable communications between all of the varied devices that connect to it. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of them. They organize everything from the fact that we use binary, to the significance of the 1s vs the 0s, to what constitutes a 1 and a 0, across different transmission media. (eg. Are they voltage changes, or light pulses, or signal changes?) or how long a cable can be. These are all protocols. And they have to be, because otherwise, everything would be doing things its own way, and nothing would be able to communicate with anything else.

So how do protocols affect the Internet? Protocols are the Internet. Or rather the Internet is nothing but a set of protocols.
