the internet is not a single thing
it is simply every computer and network in the world tied together.
WWW= world wide web. URL = Uniform resource locator

The internet is not in one single place. The internet is a collective of every single computer and server connected to it. Quite simply it reaches across the entire planet. It’s everywhere.

It’s everywhere. You cannot stop it. It is a collective. You will join it. Assimilation is inevitable. Resistance is futile.

All your base are belong to us.

As the other answers here have already stated, “The Internet” is made up of all the computers connected to it. But, if you’re just thinking of the internet as the “place” you go to to get web-pages and media, then the vast majority of it is stored on specialized servers in data centers around the globe. These data-centers are then linked with very high bandwidth links so they can talk to each other and with the rest of the computers on the internet. When you access the internet your computer requests the data you want from your local ISP, it in turn asks for the data from one of its ISPs (it may have several) and your request works it’s way alaon this chain until it gets to a computer on the other end

Here’s some links/pictures to help you visualize it.
