An Explanation of the Internet
The Internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices.
With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more.
How it Ticks
The Internet is a global computer network for communication.
Actually nothing more than a basic computer network. The Internet simply moves data from one place to another, so that we can chat, browse and share. With packet switching, many people can use the Internet at the same time.

The Effect of the Internet on me
The effect of the internet on me I would say is mostly positive.
I’ve met great people, had great experiences and had my happiest moments with people I interact with over the internet, and without it, I would not be the same person I am today.
But it is not all sunshine and rainbows, everything has a darkside too it.
People on the internet are using it for nefarious purposes like making hate groups, using it to scam people and using it to traffic drugs.
I don’t know any people who have used the internet in these nefarious ways.
