    The Internet was created by Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn. It is not controlled by any single entity, but is a global network of networks managed by an international community. Data is transmitted over the Internet using bits and packets, carried by electricity, light, and radio waves. Common protocols like IP, TCP, and HTTP are used to connect devices and transmit data. The Internet allows for the sharing of information on a global scale.
