Packets: These are like digital envelopes. Your data is broken down into packets for a safe journey across the internet.
Router: The traffic conductor, guiding packets to their destination. Think of it as your digital GPS.
IP Address: Unique digital ID for devices. Just like your home address, it ensures data reaches the right doorstep.
Domain Name: Web addresses we can actually remember, like "facebook.com" or "amazon.com."
DNS (Domain Name System): The phone book of the internet. It translates human-friendly domain names into machine-friendly IP addresses.
HTTP & HTTPS: The chat language between your browser and websites. HTTP is the norm, but HTTPS adds a layer of security with data encryption.
