If I may add, this high level view of things is what people are really lacking on. Seems like people know enough tech to do their jobs and spend the rest of their time gaming or posting selfies.

This ‘connect the dots’ viewpoint is really, really lacking out there.

Could the Internet exist without Cisco and Juniper routers?

Could the Internet exist without fiber optics?

Could the Internet exist without TCP/IP?

Could the Internet exist without DSL and cable DOCSYS modems and infrastructure?

Could the Internet exist without local Ethernet infrastructures?

Could the Internet exist without the HTTP protocol?

Could the Internet exist without browsers?

Could the Internet exist without Apache server software?

Could the Internet exist without people?

Could the Internet exist without [insert your own silly question here]?

Can the Internet exist without Linux?

Sure.
It previously did. For a long time.
