This BBC page has an excellent slideshow which explains the workings of the internet in a very simplistic way. Well worth a look.

Not only that check out the live counter on the same page just mind boggling…..

The counters displays:

* An approximation of the number of new connections added to the internet. At current rates, this is approximately six per second.

* The number of e-mail messages sent from 00:00 GMT each day. The figure includes spam.

* The number of blog posts since 00:00 GMT each day.

* An approximation of the number of Google searches done since 00:00GMT each day.
