Internet is just a big network and it started in the USA.

Good question,The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.

Well done, you can copy and paste from Wikipedia to try and look smart.

Really the "internet" is just reading a bunch of code off hard drives, which is interpreted by your browser. The hard drives are stationed in servers all over the world. Really, to keep it simple, you are simple receiving data off another person's (or usually another web hosting company's) computer which acts as a server. It's like a massive network of networks of computers. It doesn't exactly come from your ISP, they simply set up and run the network that you use to receive information.

i learned in my school that its basicly just one big super computer.... it could be wrong....

What I find funny is when your at school people always say Internet like : "If you don't finish the research at school go home and use the Internet." Thats because most people don't know what FireFox and Opera ect. are. If they did they would say go home and look up information online. I know everyone here knows this but I like typing lol.
