The internet is the sum of it’s participants. That mean’s your internet connected devices make up part of the internet itself. These participants are connected via radio signals, signal wire, and optics. So cellphone signals, WiFi signals, microwave signals, all sorts of radio signals, make up parts of the internet physical transport layer all around you and through you. There can be infrared connections, as there are smart bulbs that some people employ. On a more commercial scale, copper and more often fiber optics are pulled through the dirt in cables, or there are conduits buried and cables pulled through there, running down the street. My home town used the conduit used for the street lights to run data to all neighborhoods. You might notice there are little sign posts telling people not to dig because there are cables below. Microwave antennas make point to point connections between towers and the roofs of tall buildings. Trans-oceanic cables are laid right on the ocean bottom, several inches thick in diameter, unrolled from spools down to the floor, and spliced together between rolls. This way, ships can lift up the cable and find damage and make repairs.

the interNET is a NET. it’s the wires (or wireless connections) that run from network devices to network devices between buildings, cities, countries and continents.

the content that’s on the internet comes from computers on the network. each owned by some company or some individual. this post’s content is submitted by my computer, thru my home connection, thru at&t’s network. thru hundreds of miles of wires to reddit’s servers that exist on bank of computers owned by amazon that reddit rents virtual space on.

The internet are the pipes that connect water tanks (Servers). The water in the system is data, and we all have our part in creating that water.

The internet is a set of connected computer networks that use a shared communication system to reach information across themselves. In as much as “it” has a physical location, it is in the various computers which make up those networks, which are widespread.

Think of the internet like the transportation systems. Roads, rails, buses, cars, airplanes, etc. The internet is similar.
