Question:
Is there a building that houses the Internetz?

Ok so I got this question from thinking of what happened to my uncle's modem.

My thoughts were "the modem houses the internetz, but where does the internetz come from?" and so I was thinking maybe there is a building that has a big generator that makes internetz, anyone know of this?

John is right, there are several locations dedicated to housing the Internetz, as well as individuals who dedicate their own hardware to being a server. It's essentially just sharing all of this data housed on different servers in different locations through signals sent through wires.

hello how are you ?



there is not a big huge building where the internet is stored.



the way that the internet works is when you connect to the internet your isp provider receives a signal from your pc or laptop.



then this signal is relayed back through your router or modem and thats what connects you to the internet.



also all of the websites are stored on different servers all over the world

and when you type something into google your isps server has all the information for that website prestored on there servers.



and it just sends another signal again which is then relayed back

from your computer to the server again so that you can connect to the website you asked for on google.



all of the relayed signals happen within a fraction of a second !.

if you want to know anymore about how computers work just message me and i will try to answer your questions soon.



bye 4 now and good luck.

The Internet not the Internez or the interwebs or the intertubes or what ever "The Cool Kids" are calling it these days is A relatively loose federation of computer networks that permits data to be widely transferred among computers. It is not located in a single area

There are server farms all over the world as well as individual computers connected to act as a server. There is no one place where the internet is housed, it is worldwide!
