 How Does The Internet Work

 The internet (and the world-wide web) is a wonderful tool for both personal and business use. The details of how it works, though, are often considered a mystery known only to a select few. For example, what's the difference between the "internet" and the "world-wide web"?

 The truth is, nobody really knows how it works (just like "how do airplanes actually fly"). Since the early days, when it was given to us by benevolent space aliens, though, research has been able to discern some basic "facts" about its internal operations. In this lunch-and-learn, we'll spend some time going over what we have been able learn.

 We'll start with a bit of history of the internet and the related world-wide web. Next, we'll go over some of the inner-workings, striving to answer such questions as:
 - What is the difference between the internet and the world-wide web?
 - What are web servers and web browsers?
 - What is a URL and by what magic does that correspond to a picture of a kitten in our web browser? (hint: DNS)
 - Do terms, such as HTTP and HTML, actually mean anything, or do we just put random letters together to sound fancy? (spoiler: the answer might surprise you)

 PowerReviews wouldn't exist without the internet, please join us as we explore a little bit of what humanity knows about this magical technology.
