The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP)) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.
