How Does the Internet Work?

The Internet is a way for multiple computers to communicate and share information about all sorts of
topics.  The internet is not technically physical object, but a unique connection that depends on many
different variables to make the system work.  Some of these variables are: Agreement; Electricity; etc.  
Without these, the Internet will not have the capability to function at all.

Companies like AT&T and Verizon are known as Internet Service Providers.  They supply internet to customers around the globe.  To connect globally they use long fiber-optic cables that connect countries.  These ISP companies view all data their customers use and make sure everything runs smoothly.  By monitoring the data they can see if there are any problems accumulating.  Also they will be able to see if there are any "denials in the system" which means if anyone is trying to hack them or breach there security.  Today there are many job openings in Computer Security to help stop these "Computer Hackers".  The job-field of "Computer Security" or frankly in any other computer science field is at a growing demand due to the increasing innovations in technology.
