The internet is called the network of networks because it is a global network that interconnects thousands of smaller networks, such as local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). These networks are owned and operated by various organizations, including governments, academic institutions, businesses, and individuals. Each network is connected to the internet via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and uses standard communication protocols and technologies to exchange data and communicate with other networks and devices on the internet. This decentralized and distributed nature of the internet allows for a vast exchange of information and services across the world, making it a powerful tool for communication, collaboration, and innovation.
