00:12Oh no Kitty, we have lost the internet connection.
00:18Oh no!
00:19Hmm, don't worry, I think it will get back in a while.
00:24Hey friends, Kitty and I are sending our Halloween pictures to our friends.
00:29But unfortunately, we lost our internet connection.
00:34And I'm sure you already know how it feels when that happens.
00:40As it's difficult to imagine our lives without the internet nowadays.
00:47Wait a minute, that's an excellent topic to explore.
00:52Hello friends, have you ever wondered what the internet exactly is
00:58and how it works?
01:00I'm sure you did.
01:02So, by the time the internet reconnects, let's search the world of the internet
01:09and learn how it works.
01:12Zoom in!
01:14Well, when I was young, I believed that the internet was some magic trick created by a secret group of
01:23magicians,
01:24which makes it float through the clouds.
01:28But, when I came across its actual definition, I understood that it is a network that connects millions of computers
01:40worldwide.
01:42Hmm, but the important question still remains the same.
01:46How does this magic happen?
01:50Imagine, you and your friend want to share a picture or some other essential document with each other.
01:58And to do so, the first thing you both will need are computers that are connected in a network with
02:07the help of the internet.
02:10Then, once you establish this connection, you visit the website using a browser.
02:17Log in to your account, type your message or attach the file you wish to send.
02:25And finally, when everything is done, you press the send button.
02:31And voila!
02:33It's done!
02:34Sounds easy, right?
02:37Well, what looks so easy at first glance has a complex system working behind it.
02:44Yes, my friends, the messages you send are actually enormous in size
02:50and it's very hard for the internet to carry such a massive packet to its destination.
02:57So, to make it easier, this huge packet is broken down into smaller packages and then they are moved further
03:09to the receiver with the help of an essential device called the router.
03:15And what is a router?
03:18A router is a networking device that helps in the transfer of data packets between computer networks.
03:26In other words, from a sender to the receiver.
03:30But how?
03:33Well, it does with the help of an internet protocol or an IP address.
03:41Oh no!
03:42Now, what's an IP address?
03:45So many technical terms!
03:48Oof!
03:49But, let me explain.
03:52Just like you have your home address,
03:54every server has its unique address called the IP address that allows a system to be recognized by other systems
04:05connected via internet protocol.
04:08When the packets are received by the router, the router reads the IP address information mentioned on the package and
04:18then sends it to the correct path to reach its destination by following certain rules.
04:28Yes, my friends, just like we have traffic rules to protect us from any accidents, the internet has some rules
04:37and regulations as well called the TCP.
04:43TCP is a set of protocols developed for the internet to get data from one network device to another.
04:52And by following these protocols, the data gets delivered in the best possible way to its destination without any problem
05:03and issues.
05:04When these packets finally arrive at the receiver's router, they are put together according to the instructions and that's how
05:14your friend's computer receives your message.
05:18And believe me, all this happens within just a fraction of seconds.
05:24Isn't it really magical, friends?
