How+does+the+internet+work?

The internet is a non-physical "cloud" of sorts. The internet is no object, nothing you can actually hold perhaps it is easier to think of it as a separate plane. You can access this separate man-made plane by using devices that allow you to connect to the internet. (The internet of course did not simply exist, it was made by tons of connections, wireless or not, they all are only connected to the internet because others are)
