What is internet?

INTERNET
 Internet is a universal system of computer networks that are interconnected to serve millions or even billions of people around the world. Internet will bring you to the year 1960. The United States federal government works in partnership with private sectors that has commercial interests.  In fact, the United States Defense Department experimented on it for the purpose of inter-government facility for a secured exchange of information. It is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.
In the 1980s, the Internet has grown due to the National Science Foundation funding the United States backbone. Later, private organizations began funding for backbones that are intended for commercial use. This led the interconnection of various networks and the worldwide users began to participate in developing the new technology.
