internet

The internet is like a huge library full of websites. Websites are like buildings and they are full of pages that have information, pictures and videos that you can look at. To get to the websites, you need a device like a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. That device needs to be connected to something called the internet. To connect your device to the internet, you can use a cable or a wireless connection. Once your device is connected to the internet, you can type in the address of a website and you can see what is inside.
