What is the origin of the Internet and how does it work?
The Internet is a worldwide network of interconnected computers that allows users to access and transfer information remotely. The information viewed on the Internet is actually not on the Internet at all, but rather on other computers, and viewed via the Internet. The most popular service accessed through the Internet is the World Wide Web (WWW). The Web and the Net are often considered to be synonymous but actually represent two different things. Whereas the Internet is the means for accessing information, the Web is composed of the visual display of the information being accessed.

What time is the Internet the busiest?
This question has two answers, the short and the long.
The short answer is:
The internet does not really have a 'busiest' period. There is no 'cyber rush hour'.
The long answer is:
The internet is a global thing. It is available in most if not all countries world wide, which means that there are constantly people coming online, using the internet and then going offline, 24
Due to this, there is no time at which the internet is busiest. While you may be logging off to go to bed, someone on the other side of the world might be starting their morning on their computer to check emails and such.
That said, certain areas of the world have much higher population density than others, and also are better connected - meaning more people have internet access. Theoretically, then, there is no peak period, however if you could some how generate a graph of all internet activity then there may be an overall peak when the best connected, and most densely populated areas 'come online' - this would probably be early evening (local time), when people finish work and come home, kids get out of school, and so on.
Japan, for example, has a very high population density and the population is very well connected, however most of the Japanese users will visit Japanese websites which, presumably, are hosted inside Japan. Then again, for English speaking users, demand will be spread across the 24 hour period much further (as English is more widely spoken than Japanese), and would probably peak at some point during the day in the USA.
In summary, then, there is technically no time at which the 'whole internet' is busiest due to the global user base, however local demand will fluctuate, peaking every 24 hours at the time at which most of the local internet users come online. In Europe, my experience is that this tends to be early to mid evening: from about 6.00pm until 9.00pm, local time.
Is there a way to manage multiple accounts on Instagram?

You don't have to do anything. Whoever posted the data probably let others know where to find it. If you found, it most likely others have found it also and government agencies are already aware of it. Maybe a non-emergency call to a local police station may be appropriate. Forwarding links to the FBI, White House or another government agency may lead to conversations you don't want to have.
On the other hand
How would you know if the information really is secret data. How would you know if the information really is correct or true. Anything can be posted on the internet and you can'r believe everything you read on the internet.

What are the six types Internet protocols?
There are two types of protocols they are Internet Protocol and Transmission Control Protocol. In computers a protocol is basically a principle or standard which either controls or permits the connection, communication and transmission of data between two diverse computing endpoints. In basic language a protocol can be explained as the rules of leading the syntax, semantics and synchronization of contact.
Protocols can be put into practice either by hard ware or software, or even by a grouping of both. Mostly on the basic level a protocol classifies the performance of a hardware connection. The extensive use and development of communication protocols is a combined requirement to the internet. It is also one of the main suppliers to its power and success. Nearly all the internet communication protocols are illustrated in the RFC credentials of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
What are browser Clients and what do they do?
Browser Clients are one of Two things: First off a regular Client browser is a program you use to surf the Web. Such as Opera, Internet Explorer or Firefox. This can sometimes be simply refered to as a Client. The second use of the term i have heard is a program such as a java applet which downloads from a website onto your computer through your browser to run a network application. This is called browser client because the client software starts up and requires the browser to work correctly. One such example of this could be a Yahoo Games style interface, where they have you click ona link a new window opens up and downloads part of the game which runs out of your browser.
