Let's start by taking a look at how the Internet works and what this means for us as coders.
Figure out how the Internet works
If a 5-year-old asked you "What is the Internet?"
how would you answer?
What do we use the Internet for?
How do we access the Internet?
Who pays for the Internet, and who gets paid?
What's the difference?
A global system of interconnected computer networks.
The Internet is a network
of computer networks.
A system of interlinked documents, accessed via the Internet.
The Web is a network
of documents and media.
Who owns the Internet?
And who owns the Web?
The Internet can be compared to the telephone system:
e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Google
e.g. North Korea and China
They could slow down international requests for other ISPs
By creating your own website, you are taking ownership of a small portion of the world wide web.
It's all yours.
You can publish and share anything you like, go forth and create!
