This video is a good illustration of how the Internet works and how information is transferred from one computer to another.
Basically the path of pulling up a webpage is: Your computer > router > ISP > router > Internet > router > website > router > ISP > router > your computer
A router exists along every intersection and every packet of information is moved via an IP address. An IP address is how the Internet gives locations of computers and routers. IP addresses are 4 sets of numbers in a combination between 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255.
The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. All the computers connected to the internet are actually connected to each other through the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which in turn are connected to the bigger routers or the backbone of the internet. The backbone is a large server where the data is exchanged. These backbones are connected to each other through fiber optical cables. The ISPs are connected to these backbones through fiber optic cables in order to minimize the transmission loss. Then the users are connected to ISPs through cables or wireless routers.
