Cultural Tip
The construction "C'est quoi..." is very colloquial and fits informal spoken French, especially among younger speakers. In formal writing or a professional setting, prefer "Quelle est..." or "Qu'est-ce qui...". Also, note that "Internet" is masculine in French (le Internet) but is often used without an article when paired with "sur".
