I've always wondered how the Internet works. Can you give me a simple explanation of how it works?

The internet is made up of many different networks, including the World Wide Web, which allows users to access websites and other online services. When a user wants to connect to the internet, they need to find an internet service provider (ISP) that provides them with internet access. ISPs are companies that provide internet access through their own network infrastructure, such as cable or fiber optic lines, wireless connections, or satellites. Once the user has found an ISP, they can connect to the internet by connecting their device to the ISP’s modem and then using the internet connection provided by the modem.
