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

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.360
the last episode of tech quicki was have you wondered what happens I mean sure we

00:00:09.719 --> 00:00:16.039
all know that it goes out onto the internet but much like flushing a toilet

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:21.039
most people don't know exactly what happens to their chunks of uh data after

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:25.320
they post something so where exactly does it all go well to understand the

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:30.279
answer to this question it might help to keep in mind that the internet is not

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

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.280
group of people but rather it works as a

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:43.760
distributed system made up of lots of smaller computer networks owned by

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.760
various isps universities governments and other organizations that are linked

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.680
together through what are called peering agreements but lonus hold on a second if

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.480
no one's really running the internet then how does it stay working do we even

00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.359
know where it goes there are organizations that help coordinate and

00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:04.839
direct internet traffic so that compatibil is maintained everywhere from

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:09.799
Ottawa to Oman probably the most well-known of these groups is I can

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:15.680
which maps IP addresses to Internet domain name so when you punch in let's

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:17.680
say Linus tips.com in your web browser

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.400
that actually isn't enough information for your computer to know what website

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:27.400
to show you so what happens is your ISP or Internet service provider directs it

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:32.000
to a DNS server which matches what you typed to the IP address that corresponds

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.759
responds to it so you can connect and keep consuming the awesome videos we

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.320
create but once you do that then how does the content itself get to your PC

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:47.040
one of the internet's most defining features is that it is Packet switched

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.560
meaning that all data is broken up into

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.439
little well packets and then reassembled

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.439
once it arrives at your computer and while the idea of shattering and then

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:00.079
reassembling something every time you need to move it won't make much sense

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:05.439
for things like oh I don't know human arms the advantage of this approach for

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:11.520
computer data is that it allows each packet to take the most efficient route

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:12.760
possible so if everyone in the town next

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

00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:23.800
same freaking time congesting any nearby nodes causing some of your much more

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:29.360
important My Little Pony packets to slow down the remaining ones can be easily

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:35.800
and dynamically rerouted via another path mid file so your internet speeds

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:37.680
stay high and because packets contain in

00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:42.239
addition to the actual content identification information that ensures

00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.640
they are being sent to the right place and that they can be properly recombined

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:51.720
later on normally none of the data ends up as a corrupted jumbled mess either

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.400
speaking of jumbled messes if you've ever tried to do something as simple as

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

00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:03.799
and open it you're probably wondering how users on different operating systems

00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:08.560
on different machines from different parts of the world all manage to use the

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:12.840
same internet standards bodies come to the rescue here again they make sure

00:03:10.519 --> 00:03:17.680
that the same fundamental languages and Technologies are used throughout the

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:22.280
globe including w3c which is in charge of things like HTML and CSS the

00:03:20.519 --> 00:03:27.400
languages that your web browser will interpret into something your computer

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:31.879
can understand so I hope this helped give you some idea how the world pulls

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:36.159
together without a single guiding force to give us this awesome tool for arguing

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:40.400
on Twitter and reading half-baked political opinions speaking of things on

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:45.400
the internet that are way better than arguing on Twitter fresh books it's

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.599
designed for freelance workers or small businesses and the whole idea behind it

00:03:47.959 --> 00:03:55.319
is that instead of spending all of your time drawing up invoices and logging

00:03:53.200 --> 00:04:00.360
your hours as you move about from place to place working on jobs you spend it

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

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:08.319
accounting done quickly while you're on the Go versus having to sit at your

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:13.159
computer every night it even allows your clients to pay you online via credit

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

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:21.199
and I can tell you as a small business owner half of the battle is actually

00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:24.639
getting the invoice sent out to the client and then the other half is

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.440
getting them to actually pay it a whole other thing anyway it shows the full

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

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

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

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

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.440
doing stuff online instead of doing stuff the old traditional way so head
