It’s made up of millions of computers interconnected by network cables and radio towers. We can always keep adding more storage space, more computers, etc. to expand it. At the end of the day, it’s a series of protocols that let computers communicate so there is no physical limit.

The internet is just a web of connected computers. When one reaches capacity, it’s added onto.

You can think of the Internet as the phone system. In fact they are built on the same physical infrastructure which is why it is mostly phone companies who have become Internet Service Providers. So “The Internet” is everywhere and does not store much information on its own. However it transfers information between all the connected users and services. So it is rather the different services that usually hold information. So Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc. are all independent services with their own locations around the world and holds different information but all available through the Internet. Most of these services are hosted in data centers which is dedicated buildings for running computers. They are designed with the power, cooling and Internet bandwidth required to run lots of servers to host services. The big providers usually have their own datacenters but most smaller services are colocated in other datacenters.

The Internet isn’t one place. It’s the Inter-net (network) of all the world’s servers and computers. What makes the internet what it is, is the fact that networks and computers are linked together. As long as people have servers to store and transfer information, there isn’t a limit of storage capacity. Obviously there are limited phsyical resources to build servers and computers, so in that regard, you can only have so much material, but that limit will likely never be reached.

The Internet is a federation of millions of separate computers. Each computer is in a place, but the places are spread out all over the Earth. There is a constantly expanding capacity, so while there might be a limit at any given instant, there are engineers working round the clock to enlarge it faster than demand grows.
