Internet

The internet is an ‘interconnected’ network of computers these use and IP address or Internet protocol suit. This makes it possible to differ from each and every host (each computer is they’re own host) the IP address contains two pieces of info the host ID and the Network ID e.g. 123.213.99 .4 red is the Net ID and black is the Host idea. when email is sent the information is transformed into packets with three pieces of information the Receiver address, Source address and the Data these packets travel across the networks to the internet backbone (wires that run across the world e.g. under oceans and through hills), then they go onto the router gateway until they get where they need to get to a router near the receiver IP address then it travels through to the router then it needs to get past the router so it can be sent to the actual email address then it can be opened on the desktop and seen on the screen of the receiver and ‘all this in a drop of a hat’= quote from video about data packets
