1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,000
when you send out a tweet about a new video card you can't afford or how great

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,360
the last episode of tech quicki was have you wondered what happens I mean sure we

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:16,039
all know that it goes out onto the internet but much like flushing a toilet

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:21,039
most people don't know exactly what happens to their chunks of uh data after

5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:25,320
they post something so where exactly does it all go well to understand the

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:30,279
answer to this question it might help to keep in mind that the internet is not

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:36,520
owned or even governed by any one group of people I said not owned by any one

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,280
group of people but rather it works as a

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,760
distributed system made up of lots of smaller computer networks owned by

10
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:47,760
various isps universities governments and other organizations that are linked

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,680
together through what are called peering agreements but lonus hold on a second if

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,480
no one's really running the internet then how does it stay working do we even

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,359
know where it goes there are organizations that help coordinate and

14
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:04,839
direct internet traffic so that compatibil is maintained everywhere from

15
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:09,799
Ottawa to Oman probably the most well-known of these groups is I can

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:15,680
which maps IP addresses to Internet domain name so when you punch in let's

17
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:17,680
say Linus tips.com in your web browser

18
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,400
that actually isn't enough information for your computer to know what website

19
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:27,400
to show you so what happens is your ISP or Internet service provider directs it

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:32,000
to a DNS server which matches what you typed to the IP address that corresponds

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,759
responds to it so you can connect and keep consuming the awesome videos we

22
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:41,320
create but once you do that then how does the content itself get to your PC

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,040
one of the internet's most defining features is that it is Packet switched

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:50,560
meaning that all data is broken up into

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,439
little well packets and then reassembled

26
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,439
once it arrives at your computer and while the idea of shattering and then

27
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:00,079
reassembling something every time you need to move it won't make much sense

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:05,439
for things like oh I don't know human arms the advantage of this approach for

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:11,520
computer data is that it allows each packet to take the most efficient route

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,760
possible so if everyone in the town next

31
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:19,280
to you where your traffic would have normally been routed through start streaming Game of Thrones at exactly the

32
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:23,800
same freaking time congesting any nearby nodes causing some of your much more

33
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:29,360
important My Little Pony packets to slow down the remaining ones can be easily

34
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:35,800
and dynamically rerouted via another path mid file so your internet speeds

35
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,680
stay high and because packets contain in

36
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,239
addition to the actual content identification information that ensures

37
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,640
they are being sent to the right place and that they can be properly recombined

38
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:51,720
later on normally none of the data ends up as a corrupted jumbled mess either

39
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,400
speaking of jumbled messes if you've ever tried to do something as simple as

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:59,920
copy of file to an external hard drive on a Mac and then carry it over to a PC

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,799
and open it you're probably wondering how users on different operating systems

42
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:08,560
on different machines from different parts of the world all manage to use the

43
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:12,840
same internet standards bodies come to the rescue here again they make sure

44
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:17,680
that the same fundamental languages and Technologies are used throughout the

45
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:22,280
globe including w3c which is in charge of things like HTML and CSS the

46
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:27,400
languages that your web browser will interpret into something your computer

47
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:31,879
can understand so I hope this helped give you some idea how the world pulls

48
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:36,159
together without a single guiding force to give us this awesome tool for arguing

49
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,400
on Twitter and reading half-baked political opinions speaking of things on

50
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,400
the internet that are way better than arguing on Twitter fresh books it's

51
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,599
designed for freelance workers or small businesses and the whole idea behind it

52
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:55,319
is that instead of spending all of your time drawing up invoices and logging

53
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,360
your hours as you move about from place to place working on jobs you spend it

54
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:04,159
doing jobs and getting paid a it's an online tool to allow you to get your

55
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:08,319
accounting done quickly while you're on the Go versus having to sit at your

56
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:13,159
computer every night it even allows your clients to pay you online via credit

57
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:16,400
card it's just like beep beep boop send that invoice over to them and get paid

58
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,199
and I can tell you as a small business owner half of the battle is actually

59
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:24,639
getting the invoice sent out to the client and then the other half is

60
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,440
getting them to actually pay it a whole other thing anyway it shows the full

61
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:32,400
history of every invoice allows you to check if the client has viewed the invoice which is another really handy

62
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:37,400
tool oh I didn't get that oh actually you did and uh I guess that's pretty

63
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:40,120
much it so if you're Your Own Boss then the idea behind fresh books is you

64
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,800
should be using stuff that makes you feel like a boss and it's an easy way of

65
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,440
doing stuff online instead of doing stuff the old traditional way so head
