1:It is also an excellent introduction to the nuts and bolts of how exactly it all works.2:The term “internet” is a collective noun for thousands of smaller networks, run by corporations, governments, universities and private business, all stitched together to form one (mostly) seamless, global, “internetworked” whole.3:In theory, the internet is meant to be widely distributed and heavily resilient, with many possible routes between any two destinations.4:In practice, a combination of economics and geography means that much of its infrastructure is concentrated in a comparatively small number of places.

1: The researchers examined 150 sites across the country where Argentine-ant nests had been recorded. 2: At 40% of them they found that the ants had vanished.
