Key Concept
What is the Internet? You may have heard the word Internet a thousand times. But do you really know what it means? Some people think the Internet and the World Wide Web are the same thing. But the Web is only one part of the Internet. For example, e-mail and instant messages both use the Internet.  

By the way, how do your e-mail and instant messages know where to go? How does your computer know how to find your friend’s computer? If you want to know how the Internet works, you have to know what it is. You have to understand the Internet infrastructure, the basic parts it must have to work properly.

You may be asking yourself why you need to know how the Internet works. Have you ever tried to perform a task on a computer and it just would not work? A little knowledge can make a big difference. The more you know about how technology works, the more you can do with it. The more you know about the Internet, the more you can take advantage of its many resources.
