What is the Internet and How Does it Work? (Simple Guide for Beginners)

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a global network of computers connected to each other. It allows people to share information, talk to each other, watch videos, play games, and much more — no matter where they are in the world.

For example:
When you send a WhatsApp message or watch YouTube, you are using the Internet!

What is a Website?

A website is a collection of web pages. Just like a book has many pages, a website has many web pages. Each website has its own unique address called a URL (like www.google.com or www.clickwithai.in).

For example:
👉 YouTube is a website for watching videos.
👉 Facebook is a website for social networking.
👉 Clickwithai.in can be your own website to share blogs and technology content.

What is a Browser?

A browser is a special software or app that helps you open and view websites on the Internet. Some popular browsers are:

Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Edge
Safari

For example: When you type “www.google.com” in Google Chrome — you are using the browser to access the website.

What is Google?

Google is the most popular search engine in the world. A search engine helps you find any information you want on the Internet. You can ask Google anything — like:

“What is the capital of India?”
“Best laptops under ₹50,000”
“How to make a website?”

Google will show you the most useful websites related to your question.
