              In the previous class, we learned about the uses of the Internet. Let us now learn more about
              Internet in this chapter.


                    WHAT IS INTERNET?


              Internet is a global network that connects millions of computers and other devices. In other
              words, Internet is a network of computers and devices all over the world to share data and
              information with each other. It is not just a network of computers, but also a network of

              networks. With Internet, you can access any information, communicate with anyone else in the
              world, and do much more.

              You can do all of this by connecting a computer to the Internet, which is also called going online.

              Let us recall some Internet terms:
