Answer and Explanation:
What is the Internet?
This question may seem easy to answer to the young generations, who have grown under its influence, but defining it isn’t really as easy. Internet is also known as the World Wide Web (WWW) is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use a protocol called the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to link to billions of devices all around the world. The impact of this has been so enormous that it has been referred to as the 8th continent of the world. This carries a vast range of information, from the top-secret military and research files to the most trending and viral video of the week. This massive storage is shared by everyone, with everyone’s computer contributing to the ever-expanding treasure trove of knowledge.
The advent of the internet is heavily influencing most traditional communication methods such as newspapers, telephones, television, etc. They are giving rise to new services such as internet phone and internet tv. The exchange of information has been accelerated exponentially and consequentially the exchange of information has led to an improvement of the standard of life for many people across the globe. What’s most curious about the internet is its structure. It has no centralized governance either technologically or legally, speaking regarding the policy for access and usage. Every network decides its policy and implements it within its jurisdiction.
