The Internet and how it works.

Have you ever wondered how a picture is loaded and why it is loaded bit by bit.

In today's lesson we had made a video to explain how it works. But if the video is too confusing, or you won't bother to watch it, just read below how the internet works with sending images.

Well, first of all:
The picture is divided into packets. (Experiment, your computer sends a request to google HQ, then they send back the packets the fastest route possible, in a matter of seconds)
The packets try to find the fastest route.
If a certain route is cut, the packets will find an alternative route. No need to worry, the packets have millions of different routes to take as the internet is just many connections between networks.
 "Network of networks"
If a packet is lost somehow during the process, the computer will send a request to get another one of the certain packets which were not received.
Usually the packets arrive in the correct order to save time, but sometimes other packets will arrive before others, but no worries. The computer will rearrange them to make the correct picture.

Here is an image of what people think the internet would look like if it had a appearance

The large white dots/circles are estimated to be Google, facebook etc. and the internet is mainly, a web of networks put together as one.

Thank you.
