What is it?

no the internet is a LOT of computers all linked together. There is no Physical machine for the internet. Its just a bunch of routers connected together!

No the internet is not a machine , but you need a machine to connect to it. It is a form of Communication media, I don't really know how to explain "Cyber Space", that is as about simple as you can get?

No I would not say that. It is a network of computers connected by electricity. Every webpage and image is "hosted" on some server somewhere and everyone who views it is in one way or another connecting to that computer. Webpages aren't actually in the air they are on computers/servers.
