The internet is a global network of computers that are connected to each other, allowing people all around the world to share and access information. It works through a system of wires, cables, and wireless connections that link devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. When you use the internet, you can visit websites, send emails, watch videos, and interact with people on social media. The internet also plays a big role in how businesses operate, how we communicate, and how we learn new things. It's like a digital library and a massive community space where everyone can connect, learn, and have fun.
