    Internet and How

    it Works?
    Some important terminologies
    Network: A network is a collection of devices, such as computers, servers, printers, and other hardware devices,
    that are connected to each other and can communicate and share resources with each other.

    World Wide Web (WWW): The World Wide Web, also known as the Web, is a collection of websites and web
    pages that are accessible via the Internet. The Web is an important part of the internet and is the primary way
    that people access and share information online.

    IP Address: An IP address is a unique identifier that is assigned to every device connected to the internet. IP
    addresses allow devices to communicate with each other over the internet and are essential for transmitting
    data between different networks.

    Domain Name: A domain name is a human-readable address that is used to identify a website or web page
    on the internet. Domain names are easier to remember than IP addresses and are typically made up of a name
    and a top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, .org, or .net.

    URL: A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a string of characters that identifies the location of a web page or
    other online resource. URLs are used to navigate the Web and typically include a protocol (such as HTTP or
    HTTPS), a domain name, and a path to the resource.

    Web Browser: A web browser is a software application that is used to access and display websites and web
    pages on the Internet. Popular web browsers include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

    Server: A server is a computer or other device that stores and manages data and applications that are
    accessible over the internet. When a user requests a web page or other resource, the server sends the data to
    the user's device such as a laptop, mobile, etc.

    HTTP and HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are
    protocols used for transmitting data over the Internet. HTTP is used for standard web traffic, while HTTPS is a
    secure version of HTTP that encrypts data to protect it from unauthorized access.

    Search Engine: A search engine is a web-based tool that allows users to search for information on the internet.
    Popular search engines include Google, Bing, and Yahoo!

    Introduction to internet

    The Internet is a global network of interconnected computer networks that allows for communication and
    information exchange across the world. It is a vast and complex system of devices, computers, and servers that
    are linked together to enable the transfer of data, files, and other digital content. In simple terms, we can say
    that it is a network of networks.

    History

    The internet originated in the 1960s with ARPANET, a US Defense Department network. In the 1980s, computer
    scientists Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau developed the World Wide Web, which allowed for sharing of
    information and resources using hypertext links. Other notable figures who contributed to the growth of the
    internet include Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, who developed the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
    (TCP/IP) in the 1970s, and Marc Andreessen, who co-founded Netscape Communications and developed the
    first widely-used web browser. Today, the internet is an essential part of modern life, connecting people all over
    the world and revolutionizing the way we live, work, and communicate.

    How does the internet work?

    The workflow of the internet is described in the following steps, this is a simple explanation of the step-by-step
    procedure of working on the interne
    When you type a website address into your web browser, such as "www.pwskills.com", your computer sends
    a request to a server that hosts the website you want to visit
    The server responds to your request by sending the website's files back to your computer, which your web
    browser then uses to display the website's content
    This process of requesting and sending information happens through a system of connections and
    protocols that allow data to be transmitted between the client's devices and servers
    Data is broken up into small "packets" of information that are sent across the internet to their destination.
    Along the way, these packets travel through a series of routers that help them get to their final destination
    The Domain Name System (DNS) translates website addresses into IP addresses, which computers use to
    communicate with each other. For example, if we will type https://pwskills.com/ then it will be translated as
    76.76.21.2
    Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide users with access to the Internet through various connection
    methods such as cable, fiber, or wireless signals.
