In order to understand the answer to your question, you must first understand how the internet works. So, there is this underground network of cables. All of the cables connect to each other, then branch out to every computer / wireless router in the world. Because the data is actually a constant stream of electrons, you can think of it as actually being a physical thing.
A computer is able to interpret these electrons. If the electron is positively charged it is considered a 1, if it is negatively charged it is considered a 0. This is called binary. The computer reads these 0's and 1's and converts them into words and stuff that makes sense to humans. It takes a lot of electrons to do this. So, you can imagine it would be very complex.
Well, just imagine if you have 7 pipes all joined together at the middle, and you send ping pong balls down the pipes, what would happen? All the ping pong balls would get stuck! D: Similarly, if you just blindly sent all of these electrons down internet cables, they too would get stuck.
Therefore, some really smart people created the internet card. The best way to think of this is as a ticket. The internet card stamps the electrons with a code, and sends them to their destination. Then, at the center of the internet, a really powerful computer receives the electron, looks at the code, and sends it onto it's final destination.
If you don't have an internet card, you would start sending all of these unmarked electrons on to a random destination. The computer at the center of the internet takes any unmarked electrons and throws them away.
