In Todays lesson we learnt about the internet and a bit about how social networking works
We learnt about 3 important concepts. One, packet switching, two, network of networks and the last one, TCP/IP. We watched a video (The same one below) It shows how all computers are connected and how they get connected. What happens is networks are connected to other network which are computers, this is the same for people in other countries. The internet connects them all together. Your computer finds another computer and locates it with your IP address and the others too.The content get put into packets and are sent out one at a time. The packets can take any route that they wish, but must still reach at the destined point. They usually take the fastest route. Once they all reach the destination, they get put into order so that everyone can see it. The structure of this is called networks of networks, and the packets are called as packet switching.
Hope that you all find this useful and have hopefully learned something new today from what I have written and also from the video.
