Basically the internet is a "web" of computers that help transfer files to others . We use this network to help or aid us in the transfer of files . The internet works by conecting us all together in a "web" illustrated below .
     We use this web to get our email , play games , and connect with the world .The computers are connected to survers , witch are in turn connected to each other .The data is transfered over the phone line in packets , these packets are read by the server and unpacked . Then the protocol uncodes the data and then the files you requested are displayed and become useable.
  Most computers are connected to an isps' server , which gives them the ablity to surf the web and do other stuff . The conection between the computer and server is usually a phone line or cable . There is more to the internet than the hardware ; the software enables the hardware to utilize the giant newtwork we call the internet .
Here is an example
Basically there is no real way to describe data transfer , all that I can say is that it works . The internet is basically a GIANT HUGE ball of wires , leading everywhere imaginable . Every country one way or another is connected to each other via the web , each one has access to the bigest library in the world .
Once you have your physical network established you can install all the software. Isps give you the ablility to surf the web and connect to their server . The internet is the key to our society , it is the building block of our information . The internet is important to everything we do , it is the life line to our society , it runs us . We are dependant on the internet for everything , from news to mail . The internet is our lifestyle .
The Web is a giant ball of wires conected to anything and everything
imaginable

The net is our saviour
