This is such a simple question, but after using several search engines, I cannot find a simple answer. This is why the book version of Encyclopedia Britannica was so great back in the 80's, you can find uncomplicated answers to questions, including graphics. Is there anyone that can help me find a straightfoward answer to this, one that will be easy for my kids to understand? If you cannot give me a direct answer, can you guide me to a website that I may be looking for, one without a million pop-ups and page that is not covered in ads with a paragraph about the Internet.

The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.
