The Internet 3

The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use a set of protocols to communicate. It was invented in the 1970s by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn to explore ways for communication systems to withstand nuclear attacks. The internet uses physical infrastructure like cables, wires, and radio signals to transmit information in packets from routers and IP addresses. Websites, browsers, and servers then use additional protocols like HTTP, HTML, and DNS to display web pages and content to users.
