Um....you're on the internet now. The internet is a network of millions and millions of websites. It enables people from all over the world to communicate instantly, which has a bearing on relationships, trade, commerce -- just about every type of human contact there is. It also offers websites that specialize in everything from how to cook cabbage, to how to make videos.
