Imagine the internet like a big group of friends who pass messages to each other. When you send an email, it travels from one friend to another until it reaches its destination. Even if some friends are far away or busy, they still find a way to pass your message along so it gets there eventually. The internet is made up of many computers and networks working together like this big group of friends. That’s why you can send messages anywhere in the world and they always arrive.
Examples
- Your mom sends you a message on Facebook while she's in another country, and it arrives right away.
- You can watch a video on YouTube even if you're at the top of a mountain with no cell signal.
- You play an online game with friends from different continents without any lag.
