About the Internet and its language
The Internet, or “Net” as it’s sometimes called, is a loosely knit federation of computer networks that
“speak” the same language. The language in this case is a communications standard known as the
“speak” the same language. The language in this case is a communications standard known as the
Internet Protocol, or IP.
No one individual or company owns the Internet, and the individual computers and the networks of
computers knitted into it are located all over the world. Originally created for military purposes, the
Internet developed dramatically as universities began using it to share information and data. It has now
become an expansive resource for millions of users around the world, catering to virtually every
imaginable interest.
