The Internet, the Internet or the World Wide Web is a global communications network that allows information exchange

The Internet connects millions of private and public networks in academic, governmental and business institutions, and varies in scope between local and global, and is related to different technologies, such as copper wires, fiber optics and wireless connections. These networks vary in their internal structure, both technically and administratively. Others are decentralized and none rely on others to operate them.

The Internet today carries a great deal of data and services, perhaps the most common of which today are hypertext pages published on the web. It also carries other services and applications such as mail, instant messaging, file transfer protocols, voice dialing and more.

Like the mutations in the means of communication through history, the Internet today has social and cultural effects in all parts of the world, and this has changed the traditional concepts of several areas such as work, education and trade and the emergence of another form of information society.
