One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.
Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The Internet Society, a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.
In this article, you will learn about the basic underlying structure of the Internet. You will learn about domain name servers, network access points and backbones. But first you will learn about how your computer connects to others.

First, electricity is just electricity no mater if it has anything to do with the Internet.
Second, the Internet works off of a LOT of different technologies, sometimes the signals are transmitted over fiber optic cables as light waves. Electricity is used to keep all of the various equipment running.
When communicating over the Internet, basically what you type into the browser (like www.yahoo.com) gets turned into an IP address. This address is used to find it's way to the computer you are talking to. Then packets of data are transmitted back and forth.
