How the Internet Works
• Data Transmission: The Internet works by breaking
down information into small packets, which are
transmitted across a network of interconnected devices
using the TCP/IP protocol. These packets travel through
various routers and switches to reach their destination.
• Client-Server Model: The Internet relies on a client-
server architecture where clients (like your computer or
phone) request data from servers (which host websites
and services). Servers process these requests and send the
appropriate data back to the clients.
