ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Information superhighway

The information superhighway is like a really big and fast road that helps people all over the world share information with each other really quickly.

Just like cars drive on a highway, information travels on wires and through the air on the information superhighway.

When you send a message or look something up on the internet, your computer uses the superhighway to send that information to other computers anywhere in the world.

The information superhighway is really important because it makes it possible for people to easily communicate and share information with each other, no matter where they live or how far apart they are.
