I'm a little confused about how to use the internet. Can you explain some of the terms to me?

Sure! The Internet is made up of many different networks, computers and devices connected together. These include things like routers, switches, modems, wireless access points, and even mobile phones that have data connections. Each network has its own address or IP (Internet Protocol) address, which allows it to be identified by other computers on the Internet. When you connect to the Internet, your device sends out an IP packet that says “Hello” to all the other devices on the Internet. This packet contains information about your computer’s location, so that the receiving device can send back a response.
