1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,710
When most people think
of the Internet,
2
00:00:02,710 --> 00:00:04,540
they think of a
magical cloud that
3
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:06,490
lets you access your
favorite websites,
4
00:00:06,490 --> 00:00:07,675
shop online, and
5
00:00:07,675 --> 00:00:10,295
you assumingly endless
stream of cat pictures,
6
00:00:10,295 --> 00:00:12,430
but there isn't any
magic involved.
7
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:14,230
There's no mysterious entity
8
00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:16,315
that grants us a cat
picture on-demand.
9
00:00:16,315 --> 00:00:18,580
The Internet is just
an interconnection
10
00:00:18,580 --> 00:00:20,290
of computers around the world,
11
00:00:20,290 --> 00:00:23,555
like a giant spider web that
brings all of us together.
12
00:00:23,555 --> 00:00:27,235
We call the interconnection
of computers a network.
13
00:00:27,235 --> 00:00:29,680
Computers in a network can
14
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,240
talk to each other and
send data to one another.
15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,465
You can create a simple network
with just two computers.
16
00:00:35,465 --> 00:00:38,140
In fact, you might already
have your own network
17
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:40,870
at home connecting all
of your home devices.
18
00:00:40,870 --> 00:00:42,715
Let's think on a bigger scale.
19
00:00:42,715 --> 00:00:46,400
What about the computers at
your school or workplace?
20
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,285
Are they in a network?
They sure are.
21
00:00:49,285 --> 00:00:51,025
All of the computers there
22
00:00:51,025 --> 00:00:52,930
are linked together
in a network.
23
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:54,790
Can we link your home, school,
24
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:56,710
and workplace's
networks together?
25
00:00:56,710 --> 00:00:58,300
We absolutely can.
26
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,925
Your workplace connects
to a bigger network,
27
00:01:00,925 --> 00:01:02,320
and that network connects to
28
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,495
an even bigger network
and on and on.
29
00:01:04,495 --> 00:01:05,920
Eventually, you've got
30
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,440
billions of computers
that are interconnected,
31
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,790
making up what we
call the Internet.
32
00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:12,755
You, like most people,
33
00:01:12,755 --> 00:01:14,590
probably access the
Internet through
34
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:17,005
a browser like Mozilla Firefox,
35
00:01:17,005 --> 00:01:20,010
Google Chrome, Microsoft
Edge, or something else.
36
00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:22,445
This is done through
the World Wide Web.
37
00:01:22,445 --> 00:01:24,625
But don't make the
mistake of thinking
38
00:01:24,625 --> 00:01:26,935
the Internet is the
World Wide Web.
39
00:01:26,935 --> 00:01:29,540
The Internet is the
physical connection
40
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:32,230
of computers and wires
around the world.
41
00:01:32,230 --> 00:01:35,615
The web is the information
on the Internet.
42
00:01:35,615 --> 00:01:38,120
We use it to access
the Internet through
43
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,810
a link like www.google.com.
44
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:43,760
The World Wide Web isn't
45
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,955
the only way we can
access the Internet.
46
00:01:45,955 --> 00:01:47,780
Your email, chat, and
47
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:49,700
file-sharing programs are also
48
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:51,060
ways you can access
the Internet.
49
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:53,300
In the IT field, managing,
50
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:56,960
building, and designing networks
is known as networking.
51
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,820
Networking is a super important
and large field in IT.
52
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:03,560
There are specialized jobs,
college degree programs,
53
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,880
and tons of literature dedicated
entirely to networking.
54
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,450
If you work in the IT field,
55
00:02:08,450 --> 00:02:10,010
it's super critical that you
56
00:02:10,010 --> 00:02:12,100
understand the fundamentals
of networking.
57
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:14,135
The Internet is composed
58
00:02:14,135 --> 00:02:16,249
of a massive network
of satellites,
59
00:02:16,249 --> 00:02:17,300
cellular networks,
60
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,590
and physical cables buried
underneath the ground.
61
00:02:19,590 --> 00:02:22,255
We don't actually connect
to the Internet directly.
62
00:02:22,255 --> 00:02:24,050
Instead, computers called
63
00:02:24,050 --> 00:02:26,150
servers connect directly
to the Internet.
64
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:28,985
Servers store the
websites that we use,
65
00:02:28,985 --> 00:02:32,600
like Wikipedia, Google,
Reddit, and BBC.
66
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,260
These websites serve content.
67
00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:36,785
The machines that we use,
68
00:02:36,785 --> 00:02:38,120
like our mobile phones,
69
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,950
laptops, video game consoles,
70
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:41,860
and more are called clients.
71
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:45,005
Clients request the
content like pictures,
72
00:02:45,005 --> 00:02:47,105
websites from the servers.
73
00:02:47,105 --> 00:02:50,095
Clients don't connect
directly to the Internet.
74
00:02:50,095 --> 00:02:52,775
Instead, they
connect to a network
75
00:02:52,775 --> 00:02:56,270
run by an Internet
service provider or ISP,
76
00:02:56,270 --> 00:02:58,625
like CenturyLink, Level 3,
77
00:02:58,625 --> 00:03:01,135
Comcast, Telefonica
and things like that.
78
00:03:01,135 --> 00:03:04,520
ISPs have already
built networks and run
79
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,950
all the unnecessary physical
cabling that connects
80
00:03:06,950 --> 00:03:09,985
millions of computers
together in one network.
81
00:03:09,985 --> 00:03:13,865
They also connect to other
networks and other ISPs.
82
00:03:13,865 --> 00:03:17,015
These other networks connect
to the networks of Google,
83
00:03:17,015 --> 00:03:18,535
Reddit, universities,
84
00:03:18,535 --> 00:03:21,440
basically all the other
networks in the world.
85
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,380
Together, they form
one giant network
86
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:26,805
of computers called
the Internet.
87
00:03:26,805 --> 00:03:30,305
But how do the clients know
how to get to servers?
88
00:03:30,305 --> 00:03:32,930
Well, how would you send
a letter to someone?
89
00:03:32,930 --> 00:03:35,540
You'd put your address on
the letter and send it
90
00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:36,770
to the address of the person
91
00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:38,255
you're sending the letter to.
92
00:03:38,255 --> 00:03:41,090
Computers have addresses
just like houses.
93
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:42,590
Computers on a network have
94
00:03:42,590 --> 00:03:45,205
an identifier called
an IP address.
95
00:03:45,205 --> 00:03:47,390
An IP address is
composed of digits
96
00:03:47,390 --> 00:03:51,395
and numbers like 100.1.4.3.
97
00:03:51,395 --> 00:03:53,810
When we want to
access a website,
98
00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:56,165
we're actually going
to their IP address,
99
00:03:56,165 --> 00:04:00,485
like 172.217.6.46.
100
00:04:00,485 --> 00:04:03,110
Devices that can connect
to a network have
101
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:06,235
another unique identifier
called a MAC address.
102
00:04:06,235 --> 00:04:08,510
MAC addresses are generally
103
00:04:08,510 --> 00:04:11,135
permanent and hard-coded
onto a device.
104
00:04:11,135 --> 00:04:14,380
A sample MAC address can
be something like this [82:4f:23:59:47:4].
105
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:17,795
When you send or receive
data through a network,
106
00:04:17,795 --> 00:04:21,215
you need to have both an
IP and a MAC address.
107
00:04:21,215 --> 00:04:23,090
You might be wondering
why we need to have
108
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:25,795
two different numbers
to identify something.
109
00:04:25,795 --> 00:04:27,920
That's a good
question. Think again
110
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,185
of the letter analogy
we use before.
111
00:04:30,185 --> 00:04:32,945
An IP address is
your house address,
112
00:04:32,945 --> 00:04:34,460
while the MAC address is
113
00:04:34,460 --> 00:04:36,685
the name of this
recipient of the letter.
114
00:04:36,685 --> 00:04:38,750
You want to make sure
your letter gets to
115
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:41,470
the right location and
to the right person.
116
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,100
A more simplified example of
117
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,455
the letter delivery
would go like this.
118
00:04:45,455 --> 00:04:47,960
I'm in New York city and I got
119
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,660
a letter that I want to
send to a friend, May.
120
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:53,490
May's halfway across
the world in Tokyo.
121
00:04:53,490 --> 00:04:55,220
Our letter, we'll
go through lots of
122
00:04:55,220 --> 00:04:56,585
places before it reaches her.
123
00:04:56,585 --> 00:04:58,505
I put her name and
address on there
124
00:04:58,505 --> 00:05:00,960
and I also put my name
and address on there too.
125
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,275
When I drop my letter
off at the post office,
126
00:05:03,275 --> 00:05:04,850
the mail person looks at it.
127
00:05:04,850 --> 00:05:07,205
He thinks, I don't know how
to get to Tokyo from here,
128
00:05:07,205 --> 00:05:09,590
but there's a truck
that's headed to Texas.
129
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:11,045
He puts my letter in that truck
130
00:05:11,045 --> 00:05:12,470
at the post office in Texas.
131
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:14,660
A mail person looks at
the letter and says,
132
00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:16,775
I don't know how to get
to Tokyo from here,
133
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:19,385
but we have a truck
going to San Francisco.
134
00:05:19,385 --> 00:05:21,415
She puts my letter
in that truck.
135
00:05:21,415 --> 00:05:23,400
At the post office
in San Francisco,
136
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,265
yet another mail person
looks at my letter.
137
00:05:25,265 --> 00:05:27,350
He says, there's
a plane headed to
138
00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:30,490
Tokyo and puts the
letter on that plane.
139
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:32,145
When it finally reaches Tokyo,
140
00:05:32,145 --> 00:05:33,690
the postman there says,
141
00:05:33,690 --> 00:05:36,955
I know where May lives and
delivers the letter to her.
142
00:05:36,955 --> 00:05:39,120
Obviously, there are
many more nuance
143
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,495
to mail delivery than
what I described,
144
00:05:41,495 --> 00:05:43,340
but this process
is similar to how
145
00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:46,160
information gets routed
across the Internet.
146
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,290
One thing to call out
is that data that's
147
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:50,990
sent through a network
is sent through packets.
148
00:05:50,990 --> 00:05:52,970
There's little bits of data
149
00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:55,810
and you guessed it,
ones and zeros.
150
00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:57,795
It doesn't matter
if it's pictures,
151
00:05:57,795 --> 00:05:59,805
email, music, or text.
152
00:05:59,805 --> 00:06:01,685
When we move data
through the network,
153
00:06:01,685 --> 00:06:03,950
we break them down into packets.
154
00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:06,350
When a packet gets
to its destination,
155
00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:08,835
it will rearrange
itself back in order.
156
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:10,920
Think of a packet like a letter.
157
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,770
Let's actually look at
this process again,
158
00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:16,445
but this time we'll use IP
addresses and MAC addresses.
159
00:06:16,445 --> 00:06:19,565
Natalie has a computer
with IP address
160
00:06:19,565 --> 00:06:23,400
113.8.81.2 and she wants
161
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,520
to go to google.com and
search for pictures of cats.
162
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,550
Before she does that,
her computer has to send
163
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:30,425
a packet to ask google.com
164
00:06:30,425 --> 00:06:31,745
if it can access their website.
165
00:06:31,745 --> 00:06:33,630
Our packet knows google.com's
166
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:38,520
IP address is 172.217.6.46,
167
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,435
but it doesn't know how
to get there just yet.
168
00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:43,730
The packet travels
from one place to
169
00:06:43,730 --> 00:06:46,595
another at each
destination where it asks,
170
00:06:46,595 --> 00:06:49,180
hey, do you know
where google.com is?
171
00:06:49,180 --> 00:06:50,750
Eventually it'll be routed
172
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:52,100
to another destination that can
173
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,190
get the packet closer and
closer to google.com.
174
00:06:55,190 --> 00:06:57,770
Once it reaches a
destination that can deliver
175
00:06:57,770 --> 00:07:00,205
the packet to
aserver@google.com,
176
00:07:00,205 --> 00:07:02,585
Google will send
Natalie a packet saying
177
