In order to communicate, you'd have to come up with a standard set of rules and vocabulary. That's what makes the Internet so remarkable: It's a system that lets different computer networks communicate with each other using a standardized set of rules. Without rules, these computer networks wouldn't be able to communicate with each other.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/who-owns-internet.htm"><P>Think for a minute about the scope of the Internet. It's a collection of inter-networked computer systems that spans the entire globe. It depends on several sets of rules called <STRONG>protocols</STRONG>. These protocols make it possible for computer communication across networks. It also relies on a huge <A href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet-infrastructure.htm">infrastructure</A> of <A href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/router.htm">routers</A>, <STRONG>Network Access Points</STRONG> (<STRONG>NAPs</STRONG>) and computer systems. Then there are the <A href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/satellite.htm">satellites</A>, miles of cable and hundreds of <A href="http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wireless-network.htm">wireless</A> routers that transmit signals between computers and networks. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/406E1EEC-46ED-4F8E-A839-FD17AFCAD6A4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
