What is the internet?

The internet, in a nut shell, is the infinite amount of connections that exist between computers. The internet cannot be quantified. It is constantly growing at an exponential rate. It consists of web pages, blogs, videos, pictures, documents and much more. It is a place for people to connect, share, and communicate about anything and everything. It is a way for a grandmother in Wisconsin to see her kids and grandkids in Wyoming. It is a way for the businessman in New York to connect to a meeting in Hong Kong. It is a way for people to express themselves. The internet is a virtual world where people can be who and what they want.

The internet, in my opinion, is freedom. No one can control the internet and what happens there. It is intereesting to think of how big the internet is and then realize that there is no physical thing that is the internet. There are computers that hold the information that the internet consists of, but there is no physical thing that you can touch that is the internet. All you would be holding is a metal plate that has a bunch of zeros and ones on it.

As always, please feel free to leave any comments or ask any questions.
