The Internet: What is the Internet? | Video

What is the internet? Short answer: a distributed packet-switched network. This is the introduction video to the series, “How the Internet Works”. Vint Cerf, one of the “fathers of the internet” explains the history of how the net and how no one person or organization is really in charge of it.

Part XI (4 minutes) of the series produced by Code.com explaining computers in terms most of us can understand. We’re getting past the ins & outs of downloads and uploads and into the guts. We’ll post a new installment approximately every ten days until we run out.

If you like this series and want to go through it at your own rate, the 17 videos listed HERE include the 12 which I have scheduled so far. Having some familiarity with the topics, I watched the first 12 in about an hour. It’s time well spent.
