Question of the Day: Watch "How the Internet Works in 5 Minutes" & "World Wide Web in Plain English" Write an essay that answers the questions. What is the Internet? What makes the Web work? How are packets delivered using IP addresses and Web browsers?

The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billons of users worldwide. The phone and cable wires are the things that make it work. Its something that translate something into a language so that we can understand it and the web can also and it is called a server. Packets are delivered using ip address and web addresses by sending messages. Then it must be transmitted over whatever kind of wire connects your computer to the internet. Therefore the message must be translated from alphabetic text into electronic signals, transmitted over the interne, then translated back into alphabetic text, this is called the protocol stack.
