A modem stands for modulation demodulation. A modem basically converts analog signals to digital signals or vice versa. This convertion is required because the subscriber line through which you are getting your internet, carries analog signals. But, a computer understands only digital signals. So the convertion to digital signals is required. Also it has to be changed back to analog signals because analog signals can go longer distances through your subscriber line.
