Introduction to 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. You can access the internet using a web browser. Common browsers are Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge among many others. People can store files on the internet by uploading them to servers. Servers are just computers that are always connected to the internet.


Every website on the internet uses HTML files to display information. The most important part of the internet is using links to access different pages.
