    I have a really stupid question? Where does the Internet Start?
    I'll try to explain this a little better, I know you get Internet through ISP'S, But Where do they get there connection? Where does the connection come from, Because I don't understand how you can have a "server" That gives off Internet, When In fact, It needs internet?.. Do you get what I'm trying to ask?

    Internet is like a spider web, everything is connected, through wires. Your computer is connected to the internet through a wire => to your ISP => your ISP is like the *center of the web*, spreading branches to your friend's house => your friend's computer is connected to the internet through a wire, to his ISP => ISP companies connect with each other, through wires. When connected, you can pretty much transmit anything.

    US is connected to Asia through massive wires, under the sea. Maybe this would help a little bit? In my opinion only ^_^
