I have been using the Internet for as long as I can remember. However, it is only with this week's lesson did I gain a true grasp on the basics of web browsing and navigating the web. The most straight-forward lesson was Naviating the Web. I had never took into consideration the aspects of the link that displays itself in the search bar of every browser.
IP (Internet Protocal) address is a number that uniquely identifies each computer or device conncected to the Internet. It consists of four groups of numbers seperated by periods, 216.239.99. There is even a website (http//whatismyipaddress.com) that one can use to find his or her own IP address. Web addresses consist of protocol, domain name, top level domain, path, and file name. Ex.http://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/21-proven-motivation-tactics/ "http://" represents the protocol, "http://www.pickthebrain/" is the url, ".com" is the TLD, "blog/21-proven-motivation-tactics/" is the path, and there is no file name. Browsers are off course what allows you to view web pages, like Mozilla, Safari, and Internet Explorer.
