# internet

noun (the internet — uncountable; also the Internet)

«internet» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

The internet is the huge worldwide network that links millions of computers, phones and other devices so they can share information, send messages and show websites and videos. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/I/internet/#m1)

### In the lessons

In computing lessons, the internet carries websites, email, video calls and games; the World Wide Web is the set of web pages on it. In safety lessons: never share your full name, address, school, passwords or photos with strangers online; people may not be who they say; not everything on the internet is true, so check facts with trusted sources; tell a trusted adult if something online upsets you; balance screen time. Phrases: «on the internet», «go on the internet», «internet safety», «search the internet», «internet connection».
