Been in IT for 20 years now (I specialize in cloud-based "stuff" now) and I love to see it broken down in such a simple way. I think this was a job well done. My mom, at 80 got the concept of "how does it get to you so fast?". I also showed her a light pulse through a fibre optic cable - actually I used the fibre on my compound bow sight - and sent her the word "hello" through binary. It's all pretty amazing when we step back and think about it. It's robust but yet so delicate.

I've been offering free fiberoptic internet to people in Germany for three years now and the main issue is that most people don't know anything about how the internet works and mostly don't even care about massive technological improvements in infrastructure as long as the running system somewhat works. I am so excited for more fiber, 5G and Starlink and hope people will have more informed judgment in the future. Thanks to everyone who helps building the infrastructure. Our contribution will be forgotten just as quickly as we forgot the names of those who built the highways we drive on every day, but this is for the greater good of the centuries and generation to come. Kids of the future, reach for the stars. You have the whole world to connect with.
As a network engineer, It's nice to see this explained in more "layman terms". However, all the information in this video is just a fragment of what goes on with your internet traffic. In every ISP, major corporation, and sometimes small business there are teams of us that maintain and improve your network connectivity. We're arguably the most important team in any company, yet we sit in the background. We're often working when the business is closed, we're the ones that get called at 3 am when there's a major outage, or malicious attack was detected by the security systems we put in place.... But I still love my job!

My dad was always into new tech, even tho we were poor. Back in the 80s he bought a camcorder (my grandmother got it for him using a credit card). It was $2,000. We were dirt poor back then, yet now in 2022 I have videos of myself as a child, videos of me and my grandparents, my cousins, aunties, etc. i cherish those memories. He did the same thing when CD players became the thing, then with DVDs. Even tho we were poor, we had those devices years before they became affordable for our friends and family. And in 1997 he bought a Compaq computer. I was 11 years old. And my life was forever changed. I was there at the forefront of Napster, i used MSN messenger almost like the old school social media, yahoo chat rooms were all the buzz, and the MSN game chat rooms were also popular. I remember when we had an internet game where u had to help Austin Powers get his mojo back, we had QuePasa for those of us who were Latino. BlackPlanet. Then later MySpace. I have lived inside the internet since the moment i got access to it in 1997 and i never looked back. Even met my husband (almost 15 years together now) online.

@@namanmishra1030 thanks bro.. I signup with ISP 70 km far and now we are establishing fiber optics over the terrain.. its mountain area so bit difficult but we are doing it. 😀
It's something I was curious about, so I came in and watched it. It was a better video than I expected. This video explained the principles of the Internet using various visual materials, so it was really interesting and easy to understand. And it was nice to think about the importance of the Internet as well as the principle of the Internet. (It's terrible just thinking about the internet being cut off😂) I get more than the intention of entering this video. Thank you for making this great video!!
I really like this documentary about the internet. I live in a rural area and I really need to move into the city to have a stable internet connection for my job - home based ESL teacher. In this video, we can really see how dedicated and passionate Cleo when she was doing this. I learned a lot! Good job, Cleo! 💯
@@strex2062 well if they had to explain everything to the level of just a regular non tech-savvy people the video would probably be like 2 hours or more
When a writer needs a reference or an explanation, the definitely depend on internet. This way it feels like research is done. It saves a lot of time and efforts. I am grateful!
I live in an island which doesn't have submarine cable connection yet. So we get lame speeds at a very high price because they use satellites to provide internet. I'll edit the comment when I get submarine cable high speed internet in a few months after my people waited for 2 decades! . Edit: guys, now I have access to Optical Fibre Cable internet. It's been a couple of month. The internet speed jumped from 100kbps to 10mbps. It might increase in future. The data limit for the price I paid earlier was 25GB but now it's 300GB. More than enough Yaay! 😁
Amit Chakraborty just wait one more year for Starlink to be available. If you don’t already know about it I advice u to look it up, and see when it will be available in your region. Peace.
As someone with IT educational Background and several years of experience in the ITC sector including Fibernetwork, I find your program so amazing. Your pedagogical approach is second to none. keep it up!!
I haven't really been interested in things that make our civilization more connected and making our communication simpler. but I'm glad I still pushed myself little harder to not lose any attention. I still imagining myself existing near to nature, because it's just my way of life. but work you've done is just beyond incredible Thank you indeed Vox.
The only way Internet can be better explained is the way Internet evolved. Start with two computers communicating and then explain how the whole thing scaled out.
@Selasi Sablah lol. These videos are made really really specially. These are big productions. Not only them, there are directors behind the camera and there are also some script writers who wrote the script. Because it's a high production . They don't want to take a risk. It's mostly like a professional film set with lighting, directors sitting, production manager, Director of photography etc etc.
I've been across a few things that tried to explain the internet but nothing as close to being simple yet informative and easy to understand as this. Well done! Great vid.
@@locuspocus3822 nope, the information travels in the form of light so basically no electricity is used. When the info reaches its destination (a country) it gets converted into electrical signals. If you use a Wi-Fi router the electrical signals reach the router and get converted into electromagnetic waves.
As a network engineer, I liked this type of teaching. We call it layer 1 to layer 7 , layer 1 being physical layer and layer 7 is application. At layer 4 (network layer) fragmentation take place. there is lot of switching of packets and routing involved as well. A network engineer works from layer 1 to layer 4 mostly.
Hurricane María hit us pretty hard -comunication wise- People would drive hours away just to find a bit of signal to talk to their loved ones (mostly on the mainland) & let them know they were ok. This had a huge impact on our recovery. I had no idea this is how we got access to the internet. Great video! Thanks!
For someone who's not from a technical background, cleo did really well. This is a good introduction video for students to make sense of the whole thing.
This video is wow ! Her approach of explaining stuffs makes it more interesting. For someone normal to watch a 20 min video with full interest ...the person speaking should be enthu enough and the visuals they used is amazing
Just before you mentioned the Tonga internet disaster, I was thinking of it. When I heard that the cables under the ocean had been cut I was astonished! Because I did not know that is how the internet got there. I remember telling my very savvy friends about it and even they did not know that there were literal, physical, lines on the ocean floor that were providing the internet. It seemed like a magical piece of knowledge that I should have already known about. Great episode!
Cleo seems very determined here _(callback)._ Seriously, following the internet is a neat idea. I've heard this explained on channels like Computerphile but have never seen the literal path. Pretty cool.
I am a computer engineer, and the video was just top notch; great balance between technical and entertainment resulting in something technical and non technical people can enjoy. Great work .
"The 'cloud' is a *marketing* term" OMG this one sentence is eye-opening. I really thought the cloud exists as a virtual world, when really it was just bunches of copper wires and fiber optic cables
Not really, the cloud refers to the services that are available via the internet, not just the connections that they talked about. The same thing as the “world wide web”. Except people use “the cloud” to differentiate heavy duty services like access to things that were traditionally only available on your local computer . Like word processing, accounting packages, databases, Etc
Jason Weaver I do exactly the opposite. I store all my important information with spideroak which encrypts all my information so no one ... not even their administrators can unencrypted it or snoop on it while it is being transferred. It stores versions of files so if I have overwritten something by mistake I can get the old version back, and the files are duplicated across multiple data centres so even an earthquake won’t destroy it. Compare that to a local computer or hard drive where you are one corrupted hard drive or house fire away from Losing it all.
The cloud is basically hosting your data on multiple servers instead of one, so when one server goes down, your data remains safe and still accessible. In simple terms, whatever data you save on the primary server, there are multiple clones of the same data saved in multiple servers in various geophysical locations.
I thought this comment was satire until I read the responses and realized how many people don't even know what a server actually is. It's not something anyone really needs to know anyway, but It's easy to assume everyone knows most things you know.
it really is amazing everything that has to happen in a matter of seconds for a text to send or a webpage to load and most of us just take it for granted. Imagine trying to explain this to someone in 1850 or even 1950. It would sound like complete science fiction.
I've just seen this documentary and I have to say, like somebody who knows NOTHING about engineering (is that the word? sorry, I'm not native speaker), that Im really really IMPRESSED about this. I thought that.. I don't know, but this is really amazing. Now I know how this everyday thing works and I feel really nerd about it haha
Just recently two of these cables supplying access to South Africa had breaks in them, and due to heavy winds, the ship sent to repair them couldn't go out yo repair it. So we were left with extremely limited, congested, and slow Internet access to anything outside of the country. Think pings high enough to not be able to play your online games. We need more backbones to countries like this. Honestly.
Que vídeo bom, a internet se tornou algo cotidiano nas nossas vidas, mas pouco entendemos sobre ela de fato. Parabéns a iniciativa do vídeo, aprendi muito com ele!
I really like the way she talks, it is really vivid and full of passion. After seeing this video, she taught me the positive attitude for something like study or working. What a majestic person she is.
@@MillionaireTrader as long as you are a part of a middle class family or got admitted into a state funded university, you can access that restricted internet. And of course party members and other elites have privileged access to the internet
People are just way too cheerful!!! Everyone laughing and smiling all the time, with Hollywood perfect teeth. Its creepy. I mean who glows? actually glows? and laughs when talking about 'frequency modulation' ?
Being an I.T student I'm still confused about where actually the internet came from and how is it internet works when our professor just assign as to watch how does the internet works and the videos our professor recommend us to watch it's actually well defined and explained it but this one really helps me a lot thanks vox new knowledge again and new learnings now I know amazing Internet wow :)
I had no idea how the Internet works until now. Thank you for breaking this down piece by piece. I just have to say I wish all my teachers looked like Cleo I wouldn’t have slept through so many classes!
They partly do but compared to the terrestrial optical network it is slow, low capacity and expensive but on the other hand it has great coverage so it is viable option for very isolated and remote areas far from the network of landline cables.
@@qwe5qwe566 satellites were never used for comunication that's a myth. Satellites are in Ionosphere where there is all type of magnetism and interpherence etc that would be really silly to comunicate through satellites when cables, ground antennas and ballons can do it 1000x faster , effective and cheaper.
The internet is truly amazing, honestly one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time. It has made our planet so much smaller and enabled incredible things to happen.
I don't think "How Does the Internet Work?" is an apt title for this episode. Even though it is informative, it doesn't really cover all aspects of the modern data transfer techniques and infrastructure , the wires have to lead to something ! The servers , the organizations and bodies involved etc. were not talked about. So "How is the world connected" may have been a little better, I guess
sad you didn't get the point. it was meant to help the majority out there with a simple and clear message. they did a great job. next chapter can then be enhanced. education isn't a simple task and the didactic skills are key.
The way you presented this Cleo is amazing. You are so positive and you did a great job :) Thank you for breaking down such a complex concept into very easy and understandable pieces.

It's something I was curious about, so I came in and watched it. It was a better video than I expected. This video explained the principles of the Internet using various visual materials, so it was really interesting and easy to understand. And it was nice to think about the importance of the Internet as well as the principle of the Internet. (It's terrible just thinking about the internet being cut off😂) I get more than the intention of entering this video. Thank you for making this great video!!

I really like this documentary about the internet. I live in a rural area and I really need to move into the city to have a stable internet connection for my job - home based ESL teacher. In this video, we can really see how dedicated and passionate Cleo when she was doing this. I learned a lot! Good job, Cleo! 💯
I didn’t understand anything, but very interesting.

Yeah, the "explaining" is confusing and it misses a lot of information
@@strex2062 well if they had to explain everything to the level of just a regular non tech-savvy people the video would probably be like 2 hours or more
@@tjaigo 30min if they cut off all this "acting"
Actually he explained very well, English is not my first language and I felt the most of the information clear
When a writer needs a reference or an explanation, the definitely depend on internet. This way it feels like research is done. It saves a lot of time and efforts. I am grateful!

I live in an island which doesn't have submarine cable connection yet. So we get lame speeds at a very high price because they use satellites to provide internet.
I'll edit the comment when I get submarine cable high speed internet in a few months after my people waited for 2 decades!

Edit: guys, now I have access to Optical Fibre Cable internet. It's been a couple of month.
The internet speed jumped from 100kbps to 10mbps. It might increase in future. The data limit for the price I paid earlier was 25GB but now it's 300GB. More than enough Yaay! 😁

If you don’t already know about it I advice u to look it up, and see when it will be available in your region.

As someone with IT educational Background and several years of experience in the ITC sector including Fibernetwork, I find your program so amazing. Your pedagogical approach is second to none. keep it up!!
I haven't really been interested in things that make our civilization more connected and making our communication simpler. but I'm glad I still pushed myself little harder to not lose any attention.
I still imagining myself existing near to nature, because it's just my way of life. but work you've done is just beyond incredible
Thank you indeed Vox.
Good luck random dude.
Yes because at the end all these artificial stff will get destroyed
And
nature will win
But you are using Internet..😅
Hi
Nature apparently wants you to be naked, stop using clothes and technology and go back in the woods...
So the internet doesn’t just metaphorically connect the world but literally connects them. Noice
People that consistently present themselves this bubbly and happy frighten me.
Talking in a way that all people of all educational backgrounds can understand is a talent.
And she's very talented.
The only way Internet can be better explained is the way Internet evolved. Start with two computers communicating and then explain how the whole thing scaled out.

@Selasi Sablah lol. These videos are made really really specially. These are big productions. Not only them, there are directors behind the camera and there are also some script writers who wrote the script. Because it's a high production . They don't want to take a risk. It's mostly like a professional film set with lighting, directors sitting, production manager, Director of photography etc etc.
Worth every single penny I've paid for this channel.
I've been across a few things that tried to explain the internet but nothing as close to being simple yet informative and easy to understand as this. Well done! Great vid.

would it cause a huge problem for the diver?
@@drinkwater9707 wouldn't he get electrocuted?
I think they're light cable
@@locuspocus3822 nope, the information travels in the form of light so basically no electricity is used. When the info reaches its destination (a country) it gets converted into electrical signals.
If you use a Wi-Fi router the electrical signals reach the router and get converted into electromagnetic waves.
STRANGE WAY OF TRYING TO THINK ! ?
As a network engineer, I liked this type of teaching. We call it layer 1 to layer 7 , layer 1 being physical layer and layer 7 is application. At layer 4 (network layer) fragmentation take place. there is lot of switching of packets and routing involved as well. A network engineer works from layer 1 to layer 4 mostly.
Why is the 7 layer OSI model still used when TCP/IP is what we use?
Hurricane María hit us pretty hard -comunication wise- People would drive hours away just to find a bit of signal to talk to their loved ones (mostly on the mainland) & let them know they were ok. This had a huge impact on our recovery. I had no idea this is how we got access to the internet. Great video! Thanks!
For someone who's not from a technical background, cleo did really well. This is a good introduction video for students to make sense of the whole thing.
This is wrong Jen has the internet and it is in a tiny blackbox

Not anymore, she broke it.
I thought of that episode while watching this
The internet is on Big Ben,better reception
Best episode hands down
I watch this video more than once. Just wanted to say the extra mile u guys took to explain this in plain simple English, is amazing. Thank you.
That’s unexpected amount of joy and excitement in this video
Guy: *stutters*
Her: that's poetic
This video is wow ! Her approach of explaining stuffs makes it more interesting. For someone normal to watch a 20 min video with full interest ...the person speaking should be enthu enough and the visuals they used is amazing
This is very well done. I hold Masters in Telecom and Computer Network Engineering and I feel this video should be part of the Telecom 101 classes.
Just before you mentioned the Tonga internet disaster, I was thinking of it. When I heard that the cables under the ocean had been cut I was astonished! Because I did not know that is how the internet got there. I remember telling my very savvy friends about it and even they did not know that there were literal, physical, lines on the ocean floor that were providing the internet. It seemed like a magical piece of knowledge that I should have already known about. Great episode!
Cleo seems very determined here _(callback)._ Seriously, following the internet is a neat idea. I've heard this explained on channels like Computerphile but have never seen the literal path. Pretty cool.
These comments are annoying. this video is perfect, and catering to wider range audience
@Armenias Thunk do you mind elaborating on that claim?
I am a computer engineer, and the video was just top notch; great balance between technical and entertainment resulting in something technical and non technical people can enjoy.
Great work .
I could watch a video on this topic for hours and hours, you guys are amazing
Imagine paying premium for this when there are free channels who offer a better and more comprehensive answer.
I personally like the way they present the information. It's quite engaging. If I'm looking for details, I'd buy a book or take a class instead.
This is more fun to watch as an Electronics and Communications Engineer

"The 'cloud' is a *marketing* term" OMG this one sentence is eye-opening. I really thought the cloud exists as a virtual world, when really it was just bunches of copper wires and fiber optic cables
Not really, the cloud refers to the services that are available via the internet, not just the connections that they talked about. The same thing as the “world wide web”. Except people use “the cloud” to differentiate heavy duty services like access to things that were traditionally only available on your local computer . Like word processing, accounting packages, databases, Etc
Jason Weaver I do exactly the opposite. I store all my important information with spideroak which encrypts all my information so no one ... not even their administrators can unencrypted it or snoop on it while it is being transferred. It stores versions of files so if I have overwritten something by mistake I can get the old version back, and the files are duplicated across multiple data centres so even an earthquake won’t destroy it. Compare that to a local computer or hard drive where you are one corrupted hard drive or house fire away from
Losing it all.
The cloud is basically hosting your data on multiple servers instead of one, so when one server goes down, your data remains safe and still accessible. In simple terms, whatever data you save on the primary server, there are multiple clones of the same data saved in multiple servers in various geophysical locations.
I thought this comment was satire until I read the responses and realized how many people don't even know what a server actually is. It's not something anyone really needs to know anyway, but It's easy to assume everyone knows most things you know.
it really is amazing everything that has to happen in a matter of seconds for a text to send or a webpage to load and most of us just take it for granted. Imagine trying to explain this to someone in 1850 or even 1950. It would sound like complete science fiction.
I've just seen this documentary and I have to say, like somebody who knows NOTHING about engineering (is that the word? sorry, I'm not native speaker), that Im really really IMPRESSED about this. I thought that.. I don't know, but this is really amazing. Now I know how this everyday thing works and I feel really nerd about it haha
No-one : ....

Intant flashback... o.O !
Just recently two of these cables supplying access to South Africa had breaks in them, and due to heavy winds, the ship sent to repair them couldn't go out yo repair it. So we were left with extremely limited, congested, and slow Internet access to anything outside of the country. Think pings high enough to not be able to play your online games. We need more backbones to countries like this. Honestly.

Mind blown! I've always thought the internet used satellites. Glad you told us!
They partly do but compared to the terrestrial optical network it is slow, low capacity and expensive but on the other hand it has great coverage so it is viable option for very isolated and remote areas far from the network of landline cables.
same here
They do now. Ever heard of Starlink!
@@qwe5qwe566 satellites were never used for comunication that's a myth. Satellites are in Ionosphere where there is all type of magnetism and interpherence etc that would be really silly to comunicate through satellites when cables, ground antennas and ballons can do it 1000x faster , effective and cheaper.

I don't think "How Does the Internet Work?" is an apt title for this episode.
Even though it is informative, it doesn't really cover all aspects of the modern data transfer techniques and infrastructure , the wires have to lead to something ! The servers , the organizations and bodies involved etc. were not talked about.
So "How is the world connected" may have been a little better, I guess
It's more like a summary than a documentary
sad you didn't get the point. it was meant to help the majority out there with a simple and clear message. they did a great job. next chapter can then be enhanced. education isn't a simple task and the didactic skills are key.
I think the whole video should be on RUclips kids
The video itself is a Layman's approach for those who have no idea about the Internet
And also, they have to start from somewhere!
