The internet, or the World Wide Web as it's called also, originally was used by academic researchers at universities across the country to more easily share data on studies or common areas of interest. DARPA (now ARPA, the US Military's Advanced Research Project Agency) liked the idea of a web-like network that was self-healing if part of it was compromised. Data was re-routed if it couldn't make it from its point of origin to its destination in the most efficient manner.
So the answer is to the question is a WAN, a Wide Area Network (as opposed to a household router with three computers relying on it, a (Local)AN. The World Wide Web rides on the Internet, but generally a mechanism takes human-friendly domain names and converts them to a series of digits that for some reason computers like more when sending and receiving packets of data.
Yes, that's true, you've just described the internet.
This is usually used to describe the Internet. A few computers connected together is a computer network. A few computer networks connected together is a network of networks.
Computers are connected via Internet,which is commmonly known as network of networks. In History,computers were connected via telnet and various other technologies. But Internet has become popular in very short time.
THat answer is simple. It is called the World Wide Web.
Networks allow the sharing of files, printers and other resources. Networks also allow an administrator to control the security settings on all computers which are connected to it through Active Directory.

Nowadays, just about ANY computer is a "network computer", since they are all connected to networks.
A bridge is a way to connect two networks. For example, if a user has two or more computers connected to a wired network, and one of those wired computers is connected to a wireless network, the computer connected to both the wired and wireless networks could be used as a bridge. With the bridged networks, the wired computers could access the wireless network.
If there is a worm in one network it can very easily make its way into all the connected networks and computers.
The difference between the two is that a network could be defined as a group of locally connected computers (Eg: Computers connected in an office buliding); whereas, An internetwork is a collection of individual networks, connected by intermediate networking devices, that functions as a single large network

The most complex network is the Internet, with millions of computers connected directly or indirectly to each other at any time.
Networks allow the sharing of files, printers and other resources. Networks also allow an administrator to control the security settings on all computers which are connected to it through Active Directory.
The term for connecting networks into other networks is "internetworking." Hence, a network of multiple computer networks is called an "internetwork." This is often shortened to "internet." This is why the term "Internet," referring to the particular network of networks through which you are reading this answer, is usually capitalized as a proper noun.Unlike the Internet, an internetwork does not necessarily have to be very big. In fact, any home or business that contains more than one wireless router connected together could be said to contain an internetwork. On the other hand, there is no limit to the potential size of an internetwork.The Internet is such an internetwork, and is commonly called the Internet because it is the only worldwide network of millions of computers that we have. That is not to say there could not be another one, however. If we ever colonize other planets, each world will necessarily have its own global internetwork. We may have to come up with new terminology at that point.
A network is ANY connection of computers or other devices.Companies can have company-spanning networks; similarly, you can connect two or more computers at your home. A while ago, such networks were normally NOT connected to the Internet; the networks were set up to share resources such as printers, file servers, etc. Even today, every company and home that connects computers has its own network - thus, the Internet can be considered as a "network of networks", i.e., smaller networks, connected into a larger one. Often, the boundary between one network and another one is considered to be the router or equivalent device. Thus, the ADSL device I use at home, to connect to the Internet, connects three different networks: * An Ethernet network (which uses cables) * A Wi-Fi network (the wireless network) * The ADSL network (the connection to the ISP).
