The Internet is a giant network of computers located all over the world that communicate with each other.*
It is an international collection of computer networks that all understand a standard system of addresses and commands. They are connected together through backbone systems. It was started in 1969 in the USA to establish a nationwide network to connect a handful of universities and contractors. The original idea was to increase computing capacity that could be shared by users in many locations. People on this nationwide network quickly discovered that they could exchange messages and conduct

互联网是遍布全球的计算机相互联通的庞大网络。
它是计算机网络的国际集合,所有计算机网络都能读懂一个由地址和命令构成的标准系统,它们通过骨干系统连接在一起。互联网于1969 年在美国诞生,当时美国建立了一个覆盖少数大学和签约人的全国性网络,其最初的想法是提高可以多地用户共享的计算能力。在这个全国性网络上的用户很快发现,他们可以出于各种目的与远方的同事交换消息并进行电子“会议”。如果其他人在其计算机上存储了一些有趣的东西,如果所有者没有进行保护,那么获取其副本很简单。
Over the years, additional networks joined which added access to more and more computers. The first international connections, to Norway and England, were added in 1973. Today thousands of networks and millions of computers are connected to the Internet. It is growing so quickly that nobody can say exactly how many users are on the net.
