The Internet, sometimes called simply the Net, is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers).
The Internet is the communications network that lies behind your computer and connects you to the outside world. In the beginning, it was a few computers connected together in one building and swapping text messages. Now there are millions of computers connected around the world using fibre optic cables and satellite links to transfer digital information - text, sound and video.
