How does the Internet work?

To understand the Internet, it helps to look at it as a system with two main components (Hardware and Protocols)

The first of those components is hardware. That includes everything from the cables that carry terabits of information every second to the computer sitting in front of you. Other types of hardware that support the Internet include routers, servers, cell phone towers, satellites, radios, smartphones, and other devices. All these devices together create a network of networks.

The Protocols - Protocols are sets of rules that machines follow to complete tasks. Without a common set of protocols that all machines connected to the Internet must follow, communication between devices couldn't happen. The various machines would be unable to understand one another or even send information in a meaningful way. The protocols provide both the method and a common language for machines to use to transmit data.

Indian Government is taking many steps to provide internet connectivity to the Indian villages. To know the details, Click on the video below:-
