How does the internet works?

What's an IP address?  Internet Protocol Address is a unique number of any devices on the Internet.

How many characters does an IP address have?  18 characters
What's the meaning of URL and which is another form to name it? Uniform Resource Locator and other name might be "web address"

In the Internet, the information travels directly from the nearest server to your computer. True or false? Why?  True, it search the IP who has the information you needs.

What's a Web Cache Server?  It’s a holding tank for the most popular writers.
Write all the devices mentioned in the video as a computer.  PC, Tablet, smartphone.

What's an ISP?  Internet Service Provider, they are people who provide other people their connection to the Internet.

What's the DNS?  Domain Name Server is to know which IP Addresses are connected to which URL's.

What is the analogy that the presenter uses to explain how Internet works?  Is like a telephone, where the cables connecting people in devices to the internet around the world.

What is Hypertext Transfer Protocol?  It transfer information into small packages and take different routes to be reassemble in your computer.

What does TCP mean?  Transfer Control Protocol.

In your own words, explain how Internet works. 

I think is like the cab where "The Architect" of the Matrix was, that was a big room, round, and there are many squares (like little screens) where the information goes from a big column in the middle of the room to your device. And the info flows through the room from a screen to another, growing and multiplying itself.
