Internet 101

The Internet works in a way where nothing gets messed up, but it doesn't usually work that way. Since there are hackers who go into websites and make a "malfunction" on it where the user of the website can get a virus or get the information stolen which in this case we don't know what they'll do. But there are some websites that secured and will protect you from hackers or viruses every time you search something online check the URL to see if it has https which in that case the website your in is protected if it doesn't i means it isn't, but when it not protected it warns you before using it that it's not a protect website and someone or something can hack or get into your computer. You just have to make sure what your using. Another thing hackers might do is spam your emails by impersonating a bank and telling something went wrong, and that they'll need you to right down your email and password but little do you know that you gave the hackers your information now they can go to your bank account and get your money. Another thing hackers can do is shut down the website your in. Hackers also give you a bunch of pop ups to give you a virus. When you get a virus or hacked the person or virus can delete everything you have in your computer. There are different computers that control the .org, .net, .com, etc. not just one big computer because that computer will over drawn by all the requests everyone suggest it made it more simple. Every time you use a website like tumblr or Instagram there's cookies in those cookies and with those cookies it save your information so when you try to log the receivers already have your information and it logs you instantly. Internet travels of the speed in life. The information is made by bits which its like turn on and off, it's also called binary code. Text,pictures,videos,etc are made by bits. There are different ways internet can travel by electricity, light, and radio. Every computer has an IP address and is made of numbers just like a phone number.
