You tap a web address. The page appears at once. Where was it before you asked? It was already on a server, a computer far away.

Five ideas, in order.

What this track covers

  • Networks — computers joined so they can send messages.
  • A web address — it names a computer and one of its pages.
  • Asking and answering — your phone asks. A server is a computer that answers.
  • Search — it reads a list built earlier.
  • Cables and radio — two ways a message travels.

This track shows how a web page reaches your phone.
