The internet is not a fuzzy cloud. The internet is a wire, actually buried in the ground. Computers connected directly to the internet are called "Servers," while the computers you and I use are "clients," because they are not connected directly to the internet, but through an Internet Service Provider. Routers shuttle packets of information across the internet, and transmit e-mail, pictures, and web pages. - บันเทิง

Pro tip : Don't skip videos just by seeing its OLD... This was so simple and easy to understand
Waow
so simple to understand
Tha famous phrase: old but gold!
ok
i’m usually more inclined to watch something if it’s old since it seems that newer videos are unnecessarily bloated up because of modern standards or something
Before watching: "Man this video is from 2009?!"
After watching: "This video is a national treasure."
agreed
so true....
international
I agree. The best explanations are from the early days.
LOL
Here from the Odin project, Great video. Wish everyone the best.

This is pretty timeless, no matter how complex the Internet may become. The basics are always there to show you the way everything works.
i get your point but i am just gonna be that guy and say the internet never changed
The Odin Project sent me here.....so glad they did. Stay curious!
Hi, How's your progress so far?
same
Same :D
I cannot realize that it's been done 14 years ago! This video is far better than what we see today! Thanks for the great teaching!
Completely agree
When ppl couldnt rely on fancy graphics back then, they rely on being a great teacher!
When ppl overuse fancy graphics today, they forget how to teach!
It's mind boggling how he explained a complex network of computers with so much simplicity.
I really wish internet was known for stuffs like this, not for fake news, political propaganda, hate trends and all the other toxic things but for learning and making things easy.
You find what you're looking after.
I completely agree, it's so fascinating
Well, glad I could help.

Or people who actually know some shit about how computer networks and Internet work. Like I counted at least 3 or 4 mistakes:
1. The Internet is NOT a bus topology (long single thick line). God have mercy on us if that was the case because we'd need forever to reach anything since our data would have to travel across millions of routers.
2. A server is NOT defined by whether or not it's connected to the Internet directly, just like a PC is NOT defined by being connected to the Internet indirectly. Server is defined by its OS version, like in case of Windows, Linux etc. (e.g. Windows Server 2016 or Ubuntu Server). Or by its role in the computer network (like a DHCP or DNS or web server).
3. aol.com is NOT an ISP. AOL is perhaps. aol.com is a DNS name (not even a web server name unless it's redirected to it). But I get it it was probably a simplification.
4. IT IS NOT THE CASE THAT EVERY ROUTER THAT FORWARDS A DATA PACKET ADDS (OR REMOVES) A LAYER THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED HERE! Each and every data packet sent by a PC or a server consists of seven layers (aka OSI model). Yes, layers are being removed and added again in order to access some information. Like routers will remove layers 1-3 (called decapsulation) in order to access layer 3 data which includes the target IP address, among other things. But they will then add back layers 3, 2 and 1 (in this order, it's called encapsulation). Generally speaking a data packet that doesn't consist of 7 layers is invalid (unless we're talking about some specific network protocols like ICMP but it's not a case). And they claim it would be a correct one.
I get it, ok, this is simplified for sake of people who don't know a thing about computer networking or IT in general. But being simplified does not mean it can be simply incorrect and misleading. I'm sure the way the actual Internet actually works (a huge number of autonomous systems owned but different companies connected using BGP protocol) can be explained in a few minutes video and is definitely more interesting than this shit.
Here via The Odin Project 2023! 👋
I came here from the Odin Project.
Haha Me too!
Yes, you're right. This video is aimed at introducing the concepts of servers, ISPs, clients, etc. You're correct that in any given network topology, a single device (or a group of devices) may fill several of these roles simultaneously.
lol
Lol
(?)
:D
Thank you Aaron!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi aron i see you are expert in this field you have telegram to contacr
This is so far the simplest, clearest and I guess, best way to teach how the internet works.
meh there is a lot of stuff missing on this. and things where not described correctly
herpy derpy Yes, a lot of things were missing, there's a reason why the Internet is a work of science, it's REALLY complex. However, this is the explanation you might consider giving to a kid that just want basic understanding until he/she is old enough to learn more.
I disagree, if you really had no idea of how the internet works (which seems to be the target audience of this video) this video would lead you to believe that there is a single connection that "is" the internet and that is grossly incorrect. The internet is a web (hence world wide web or www) of networks that are all inter-connected (internet). To say that the internet is a "wire buried underground" is tantamount to saying that all of the United States water comes from a single pipe. Not to mention that he completely failed to discuss the different protocol layers in the OSI model that really define how the internet works. The video is very misleading and actually leaves its viewers not only not understanding how the internet works but actually thinking it works in a way that it doesn't.
Damnatis Malus would you be able to recommend something you'd consider acceptable for complete beginners? thanks
Buck Navich check out th-cam.com/video/i5oe63pOhLI/w-d-xo.html it's a very basic level but much more informative and accurate than this video.
It's very rare to find this type of teachers 😊

Very very well put. Probably one of the best explanation of the internet.. not to mention, very creatively done. I really enjoyed it. It's really funny but a lot of geeky IT people can't seem to understand the simple process of how helpful illustrations are when it comes to explaining anything.. even the most complex topic. They just throw a lot of complex terminologies at you and try to dummy down their explanation as much as they (think) they can and think that that is enough to get the point across to the people they are explaining it to. When all fails, they just blame it on you for being stupid when they are actually the dumb ones for not being able to break the explanation properly to a simple understandable level by just simply using simple and clear illustrations.. now that's not only smart but also creative. Very nice job with this video.
+tvu111974 no
+Lewis Deary yes :)

Hi Aaron! I agree with tvu111974. This is the best explanation of the internet I've heard. You really cleared up a lot of confusion. Thanks!
tvu tvu 111974
2023 check in. Why can't TH-camrs be this direct in our day and age? This old video is 10/10. PS hello fellow Aaron.
this video is pure knowledge, not some scammer trying to sell you something. The way education should be
It's December 2023 now, and still it remains one of the easiest explanations to grab on the Internet.
Still my favorite Internet explanation video. It’s always the seal of a Genius the ability to simplify a complex idea and make it look simple. A little over a decade late, but thank you for this video, Åaron Titus 👍
14 years on and this video is still pure gold! Finest explanation I've heard by far since starting my Full-Stack Developer journey
I love that you're still thanked for this video 13 years later
Thanks man
This was added to the Odin Project, meaning it's one of the best resources to learn how to code on the entire internet. Good job.
Thank you Aaron so much for this clear concise explanation of the internet without talking down to a non- techie like me! This was so empowering! Terrific!
I swear these old videos have a fine way with words and teaching.
I'm in an upper division ECE 4000 level course on computer networks and this is by far the most accurate depiction of how the Internet works conceptually that I've seen. I really appreciate that you went to the effort with the "wrapping" of the layers analogy as thats basically what occurs at the packet/bit vector level.
I just finished a Network Communications class and this video does a great job summing up what the internet is! It could've went into more depth of TCP and UDP but I'm glad it didn't. Short, simple, and sweet.
omg, I'm 28 and used the internet basically all my life, and you just made me understand it in 5 minutes. Thank you!
You're correct that the example network topology I chose to use for my illustration does not represent all possible network topologies.
14 years later and this is still useful for me. Thank you.
Awesome job Aaron. I have never commented on a video. It was very informative, straight to the point, and used other examples to explain the content.Great stuff
This is a ridiculously good, simple explanation of the internet
I wish you would make more videos like this. Sure, everyone knows how to surf the web but the underlying architecture and how stuff works isn't understood by many
This video is 15 years old and I’ve never heard such a clear and concise explanation !!!
I'm learning networking and this video clarified so many concepts within a short a period of time. It's better than most of the newer videos out there. Thank you!
My pleasure. Glad to help.
How do trees access the internet?
they log in
log yourself out
What is the device which sends the packets to the servers?
The rooters
Omg its funny cus its dumb
Stupid, but you did get a grin out of me
Oh dammit, a good one though, cringy but good.
I love the simplicity and clarity of this video.
Simple but clear. When it comes to how internet works, I've never found a more useful video than this. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Perfect explanation while still keeping it simple for newcomers. All while being done in a creative and engaging way.
I love the visual creativity of the video!! I am a kinesthetic/tactile learner first then a visual learner so this really helps me to understand; and I have been recently diagnosed with Dyslexia (mine is struggles with memory and comprehension). Thank you so much for posting. I have been provided this video through a coding training course I am taking right now. :)
13 years ago. still enjoy watching it. this guy is a legend
Wow. Such a simple video, but so rich in explanation and concisely put. Love the illustrations. There is genius behind making the complex so simple like this. Thank you very much!
Wow, 10 years later and this is still an A-1 piece of content; it's aged well. Thanks for sharing 👌
Odin Project Homies: Keep Going and Good Job
I've been working with computers for 4 years but only recently did I delve deeper into the concepts. My knowledge of the internet has been near zero until watching this video. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much. This is the simplest examination I've ever came across.
Thanks again . You're the best.
Woah, I found this at 2021 :D
Same
I literally did not find it. My teacher made me watch it lol
It was released 10 years ago and still a phenomenal explanation about how the internet works.
It's 2021 and I learned something today. Thank you for sharing this Aaron, hope life is treating you well these days.
Out of all the educational videos I've watched on YT, this was by far one of, if not the best presentations I've seen, especially in it's simplicity of dialogue and images. Thank you, and I'm sorry I didn't come across your channel earlier.
Awesome explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. Now I understand the internet infrastructure.
I'm about to sleep then suddenly this popped in my mind and can't sleep. Then I watched the video, now I can sleep.
Lmao it's 2am literally same thing happen to me!
Thank you!! Your explanation is noticably clearer than any other of other creators I've seen so far. Why? Because you use visuals very purposefully. Just enough for what you need and not more.
Aaron, that was great! 15 years and still one of the best ways to explain how it works! Thank you for the amazing job!
Thanks code academy, very cool
I felt enlightened after this video omg
Short and Crisp to the point. Thanks Aaron for a short intro to internet.
THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you so much. All those definitions are so clear to me now.
Thanks for the compliment. Next time you have to give a speech on this, feel free to steal as much as you find helpful.

love love love the explanation. the way you deliver it is easy to digest. thank you very much. ive been clicking many videos before this one and i got confused. this video is way looot better, finally a very clear explanation enlighten my cloudy mind. thank you
Such complicated information told in such an easily understanded language. Good work buddy.
I wonder how to connect directly to the internet... And be the self ISP...
U have to own some of the internet.
8o8inSquares that was my question too . Bypass the controllers and fees
World Church
ISPs still pay other ISPs in most cases (look up peering agreements).
The wire analogy really breaks down really quickly. In reality it's a bunch of routers reading the IP address and deciding whether to send the packet to a device (computer or router) on the network segment it manages or to a higher layer router. Eventually (after only a few hops) the highest layer router gets it and uses routing tables (generated via BGP) to send it to another ISP.
There is no magical internet, it's just a bunch of networks running the Internet Protocol which decided to peer (connect) with one another out of convenience. Who runs the individual networks? Companies, ISPs, Universities, Governments, and other institutions large enough to make a peering agreement worthwhile.

Doesn't have to be a public address

wish someone sat me down and explained this the internet like this to me while I was in engineering. Learning on youtube is insanely better than learning in school. Thank you for this dowg.
This is wonderful thank you. It feels like I am wrapping all the life questions I had and I am getting brilliant answers. This is wonderful!
Why are Aunt's always called Ruth?
+Bryan P Poor Aunt Ruth, so in the 'dark' out there.
+Bryan P LOL, you're actually right. when I was a kid there was this old lady who lived down the street. We'd knock on her back door and say "Aunt Ruth can we have some candy?" and she always gave us twizzlers. I don't think Ruth was her real name
+darkpearl88 ur soo ruthless
Why are old men called old man Jenkins.
This would mean there's always a Ruth in a family with multiple girls and she is single and or doesn't have kids...lol
if teleportation was a thing would we be sent like packets too?
This guy is a G. I have never seen a video that is such informative and easy to understand
Thanks. This is incredibly well explained. I will definitely look up for more of your videos
The definition of sever here is well off, it's not "a special computer connected directly to the Internet" it's any internet connected machine running web server software. My MacBook could be a server if I wanted it to.
The idea of being "directly connected" or "indirected connected" introduces a serious misunderstanding also, as well as the already spotted IP address errors. Otherwise good stuff.
How do I stop the internet from chopping my baby up?
Akash Menon You can't, the Internet is ruthless and has no soul.
+Akash Menon hahaha
+Shane Robinson YOU'RE describing the non human part of the Internet .
because most internet people are quite civil . many times i've had arguments in comments when months later my opposition debater responds back to me to clarify the topic or give in , or to enlighten some more . If we can transmit in light speed , there's still a social code , a reason for being here . If we can't stay within social code , the internet would be a disaster .
i'm quite proud of getting the opportunity of actually seeing it , and of the marvelous work of it's creators and technicians . remember I had to play with rabbit ears to get one more black and white channel , because we only had one , the CBC .
Bravo fellow humans , let's go where nobody has gone before .

Watching this video in 2021. This is a masterpiece and a precious gem.
thx odin project
This is the best quick explanation I have seen. Thank you for sharing...Well done!!!
Brilliant!!! timeless and simply well done. This has been so helpful!
So essentially, the internet is simply a "transportation" line and not a big box. So information I seek online is actually retrieved from a specific server with that information? Wow, cloud computing is indeed a confusing term
+Ano Nymous South Park. It was a big machine which made sense, thus I searched online to confirm and found this lol
Before I started taking classes in cybersecurity my idea of the internet was a "big box" as well. But in reality you're just accessing a company or organization's physical servers that are held in a building.
TurtleShroom
Literally RAID, not unlike Linux distros all over the world😎
The wrapped candy analogy is quite wrong. The only router who is likely to alter the packets is the router between you and your boss, which "unwraps" the packets and replaces the addresses (he does Network address translation (NAT)).
This router is in fact directly connected to the internet - nothing prevents you from running a server from your dsl connection.
The reason why internet is represented by a cloud is that nothing prevents the packets to be sent by other meanings than wires (satellite, mobile communication...). The RFC 1149 even specifies "IP over Avian Carriers" (IPoAC) to send Internet protocol messages over homing pigeons.
Actually, from what I know, each time a packet arrived on a router, it will alter the packet (especially for its MAC Address, this will be changed to the next router's MAC Address). CMIIW, I'm still learning
Understanding how network works was too complicated. Thanks to you ❤ helped us explaining how easy it can be.

Thanks for the video - one question:
Why can't clients connect directly to the internet? Why do they need the ISP? Why can't they just tie into the wire that is the internet.
Also, many people use their home computers as a server for their own websites and whatnot, so in this case, is the client directly hooked up to the internet (acting like a server) and not using an ISP?
The ISP basically someone who bought a range of public IPs and industry grade equipment and absorb the cost of running the last miles of cable and customer facing issue resolution. They in turn buy from wholesalers who sell high capacity connections between ISPs. Some big ISPs are also wholesalers. ISPs also negotiate connections to other ISPs. If you don't connect to any ISP that would be called a private network.
