What is internet
The internet is a global network of interconnected computers that allows people to share information and communicate with each other. Think of it like a massive web where each computer is connected to others, allowing them to exchange data.
Here's a simple analogy: Imagine a giant spiderweb. Each point where the threads meet represents a computer, and the threads themselves represent the connections between them.
Type of internet service
- Mobile Hotspot: Uses your mobile phone's data connection to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing multiple devices to connect to the internet. It's convenient for on-the-go use, but data usage can be expensive.
- Fiber Optic: Uses thin glass fibers to transmit data at incredibly fast speeds. It's the fastest and most reliable type of internet service, but also the most expensive.
- Satellite Internet: Uses satellites orbiting the Earth to deliver internet service. It's a good option for rural areas where other services are unavailable, but can have latency issues (delays in communication).
- DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): Uses existing phone lines to deliver internet service. It's reliable and generally affordable, but speeds can be slower than other options.
What is network
A network is a group of interconnected devices that can share resources and communicate with each other. Think of it like a group of friends who can share information and help each other out.
URLs and address bar
The address bar, also known as the URL bar or location bar, is a key component of web browsers that allows users to navigate the internet. It displays the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the currently loaded webpage and serves as an input field for entering new URLs or search terms.
Links
Whenever you see a word or phrase on a website that's blue or underlined in blue, it's
probably a hyperlink, or link for short. You might already know how links work, even if

- Cable Internet: Uses coaxial cables (the same ones used for cable TV) to deliver high-speed internet. It's typically faster than DSL, but can be more expensive.
