Internet is very useful in our life, everybody knows what this is. But If someone ask you what is the internet, how do you reply it?

Well, there are probably as many answers as posters, but my personal fave would be: A huge collection of networks all interconnected via fast (in most cases) wide area connections. Simple, huh?

dictionary.com: An interconnected system of networks that connects computers around the world via the TCP/IP protocol.
