How often had you looked up Shabbat on the internet? What did you find? Most likely a list of the do's as in lighting the Shabbat candles with a prayer, the Kiddush wine prayer and the Motzi prayer over the Challah bread.
Then, that was not enough and you wanted more meaning of Shabbat. What did you fine? The place it exists in the Torah and the lists of what you should not do on Shabbat. For example, light a fire and the other 38 Talmud rules. What do they all mean? How can anyone observe Shabbat for its holy day if there are no guidelines to what it all means.
First, what you thought on how to observe Shabbat is incorrect. For example - what we know of work today is not the work that is referred to in the Talmud. Actually, it was the building of the Tabernacle that God wanted our ancestors to stop building on the seventh day and rest. Fire; back then fire was needed to build. The laws for Shabbat were not given with the future of modern day living as we all know it today.
