- Chapter 4It's difficult to imagine the world today without the internet and all of the wonderful and horrible things it does. We can all name things we do on the internet: watch funny cat videos, connect with our friends, read Fiveable articles... However, defining the internet itself is a tricky thing. The College Board defines the Internet as "a computer network consisting of interconnected networks that use standardized, open (nonproprietary) communication protocols." The word, "internet," comes from the combination of two words: interconnection and networks. What does any of this mean? In this guide, we'll break down the definition of the Internet and explain what it means to be a part of it. Computing3
