The Internet Infrastructure

Taken from the article "How Internet Infrastructure Works" by Jeff Tyson, 

"It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks"

Through reading this article, it gave me the basic understanding of the internet's infrastructure and how the internet is a network of networks and even simply through posting this onto my blog, I'm connected to several networks that are allowing me to do this.
