The Internet : How it works and Why it Matters

The Internet : How it works and Why it Matters

Have you ever wondered how clicking a link opens a webpage in seconds?

Whenever we click any link like (www.google.com), a new screen will open. How is it possible that by clicking any link, we get a new page?

We have clients, who are the users, sending requests to the server to get the response back. The server is the place where the data of users is stored.

Now understand with this example: We have to go to Hotel Taj from my home. First, we pick up our vehicle to start the journey and drive on the road; after that, we reach the destination. Similarly, the client is our home, and the server is Hotel Taj. The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the vehicle, and DNS (Domain Name System) is the road.

ISPs:

Internet Service Providers: There are different organizations that provide internet services like Jio, Idea, Airtel, etc. They provide internet service which we use in daily life.

Routers:

Routers are devices that are used to connect different devices to the internet.

DNS: There are 12 service providers available that provide DNS to the servers that are running. In order to maintain naming conventions, there are domain names available.
