When your connection arrows are light-gray you are not exchanging data. Data is transferred only when the arrows go white. So essentially you are always "connected" to the internet...you're just not activiating that connection.
Another way to look at it: Lets say your garden hose is always connected to the faucet (internet). Does that mean that there is water (data) flowing through the hose? No. You must turn the faucet on (start an app that connects to the internet)...then there will be water and it will flow through the hose.
That's a bit goofy sounding...but accurate.

Coz
