The document summarizes how the Internet works to display a webpage. It begins with a user typing a URL into their browser, which is then converted to an IP address by the Domain Name System. The browser connects to the web server using the IP address and sends an HTTP request for the files to build the webpage. The server processes the request and sends the files through routers and the cloud. The user's device then structures the webpage using HTML, CSS, and Javascript from the received files.
