The Internet is like a big, worldwide telephone system. Imagine every computer and phone in the world as one person talking to another through a giant network of phones, that’s how it stays connected! If you send a message from your computer to someone else's, it travels through many steps, like relay stations across the globe, until it reaches its destination. Even if some lines go down, others take over so everything keeps working.
Examples
- Even if one path breaks, your video call still works because it uses another route.
- Your phone stays connected even when you travel across time zones.
