The internet began as a way for scientists to talk to each other. A long time ago, people thought it was cool if computers could share messages with one another. They made something called ARPANET, and that’s how the internet started. Over time, more people wanted to connect, so they added new rules and ways to send information faster, like putting letters in envelopes and sending them through a mail system, but for computers.
Examples
- A scientist sends a message to another scientist using ARPANET.
- You send a text message to your friend, that’s like sending a letter through the internet's mail system.
- A website loads on your phone because it knows where all the pieces of information are.
