15 Minute Series What is the Internet?



A network of networks, or "internet," is a group of two or more networks that are:


* interconnected physically

* capable of communicating and sharing data with each other

* able to act together as a single network

Machines on one network can communicate with machines on other networks, and send data, files, and other information back and forth.
