Imagine being a spider in your web and all around you are pieces of paper with information on them, each one is a web site. When you log on to a site for information you move (in the virtual world) to that piece of paper and collect the information. When you are in a site your are now in the center of a new web and can go on to other webs until you complete your search and return to your own web. If you know the address of the final destination you can go express and make no stops in between.

Like a giant spider's web of communications, when one link goes out there are plenty more connections left. Developed by USA government during the "cold war" so that its communications could be located anywhere in the event of a "knock out"
Your computer is another link in the web.
The information goes out in little packages like a freight train.
The actual internet does not belong to anyone, just as the english language does'nt belong to the english.

Every computer that is connected to the Internet is part of a network, even the one in your home. For example, you may use a modem and dial a local number to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP). At work, you may be part of a local area network (LAN), but you most likely still connect to the Internet using an ISP that your company has contracted with. When you connect to your ISP, you become part of their network. The ISP may then connect to a larger network and become part of their network. The Internet is simply a network of networks.
