internet (Lower case i) \nAny time you connect 2 or more networks together, you have an internet - as in inter-national or inter-state. \n\n\nInternet (Upper case I) \nThe vast collection of inter-connected networks that are connected using the TCP/IP protocols and that evolved from the ARPANET of the late 60's and early 70's. \nThe Internet connects tens of thousands of independent networks into a vast global internet and is probably the largest Wide Area Network in the world.\n\nARPANet -- (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) \nThe precursor to the Internet. Developed in the late 60's and early 70's by the US Department of Defense as an experiment in wide-area-networking to connect together computers that were each running different system so that people at one location could use computing resources from another location.\n\nTCP/IP -- (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) \nThis is the suite of protocols that defines the Internet. Originally designed for the UNIX operating system, TCP/IP software is now included with every major kind of computer operating system. To be truly on the Internet, your computer must have TCP/IP software.\n\nUnix \nA computer operating system (the basic software running on a computer, underneath things like word processors and spreadsheets). Unix is designed to be used by many people at the same time (it is multi-user) and has TCP/IP built-in. It is the most common operating system for servers on the Internet. \nApple computers' Macintosh operating system, as of version 10 ("Mac OS X"), is based on Unix.

An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website. The same concepts and technologies of the Internet such as clients and servers running on the Internet protocol suite are used to build an intranet. HTTP and other Internet protocols are commonly used as well, especially FTP and e-mail. There is often an attempt to use Internet technologies to provide new interfaces with corporate 'legacy' data and information systems.\n\nAs for how to build one, see the 2nd link below.

Internet is a network of inter-connected computers with different Operating Systems and protocols working on different networks.\nTo connect all the networks we need a gateway which convert one protocol data to different so all networks can connect.

Originally .com was for commercial use and .net was for use by network carriers (the people that tie the Internet together). Since then the distinction has faded and commercial use of .net is pretty common.

That answer changes every second. The internet is not just one computer hidden in some basement somewhere. You personally contribute to the internet size everytime that you log onto your service provider. The Internet is basically every connected computer and server in the world communicating amongst each other.

The Internet is the pathway. Like the Interstate highways are the pathways around the country. \n\nThe World Wide Web is all the sites you will find along the pathways. Just like all the buildings and businesses along the Interstate Highways.\n\nHope this make sense for you.

In a nutshell the internet is a massive network of computers with the main players having servers holding stored data. When you download a video from a website it is like retrieving a video from your cd or harddrive except you are downloading it from someone else's cd or harddrive on their server.\n\nSeveral factors keep "things online" online. The server computer holding stored data, telephone or cable companies, and associated electronic gadgets. The server computer needs to on and connected to the internet, the telephone lines need to be open or cable internet operating, and modems and nodes and all the other gadgets need to be in good working order.\n\nThat's it in a nutshell!
