    My Grandfather was a part of ARPA and helped developed the first phases of the arpanet. He loves to brag a bit about being one of the first internet gamers in history by sending chess move codes back and forth from one station to another.

    I love learning about the history of technology that we use on a daily basis. Things that we feel entitled to at one point never even existed! As silly as it is, it's SO strange to imagine life without television, without the internet, without radio. These are such incredible pieces of technology. They changed the world.

      It's not just a ping package. Ping is just an icmp function that sends a small package and hopefully gets a reply. When you try to go to youtube, you first have to look up the ip address via a dns request, then open a tcp connection to said address, load the page presented, and then repeat the process for all other domains and pages associated (like adsense stuff etc). On top of that, your browser might ask other websites if the site you're going to is known safe, check certificates and plugins like adblock or a translator might have to process the page - all of that before you're actually seeing a page. It could very well take half a second.

    There is a small mistake
    the DNS (Domain Name System) server only translates domain names to ip addresses
    for example if you want to connect to youtube your computer would ask a dns and the dns would reply with youtube ip address
    then your computer will use that ip to connect to youtube
    what you talked about is routing and it is usually handled by switches, routers, gateways, bridges ...
    where your computer would send the packets to your home router that will send them to your ISP, and then your ISP would send it to the destination if it is on the same subnetwork or another ISP if it is on another network

      came here to say the same thing.
      routing is entirely different (and way way more complicated than DNS). there are tons of routing protocols, and different ones are used in different parts. BGP is the main one in use on the internet, but your home router uses something else entirely.

    • @ag4ve
      @ag4ve 7 років тому +1

      Though it was generally correct. I doubt we're getting into the OSI model here.... There are also more than A records in dns (which is what was referred to in the video - in fact, I'm pretty sure MX records existed in the late 80s which was the other example). Oh and per the UA-cam example, there's a high chance that an AAAA record is what was used to find the server.

    SciShow is all about science and we debate logically. Hating Olivia w/o any reason just makes you look irrational and irrational ppl are, I believe, not welcomed in SciShow. It's not cool hating on her and its not cool being edgy by hating on her. I don't mind who is hosting as long as the host presents the content well.

    Well done. Thank you for posting. Your research is historically accurate. I came of age before the Internet was introduced during 1989. I would have loved to have learned about ARPA in 1969 and the birth of email in 1971 when I was a small child.

  • @vancel35
    @vancel35 7 років тому +85

    There were a few conceptual inaccuracies, but in general the information was good. :)
    For example, the DNS doesn't take care of everything, it just resolves the host name to the destination's IP address, then your computer sends out the packets with that IP as the destination and all of the intermediary routers (using the router interface protocol) know how to route your packets based on the IP. At this point it switches from top level and 2nd level domains to network classes, so 145.x.x.x is a class A, 145.23.x.x is a class B, and 145.23.189.x is a class C network. Along with those network classes, there is subnetting (netmask) along with routing tables lets the router know where to send the packet. The 4th number in the IP address is the individual computer (host / server / workstation / router / DNS server / etc). Then you have default gateways, network gateways, etc. But DNS servers and routers are generally different hardware and perform different functions.... umm... sorry... lots of information, and that's just scratching the surface.
    I can understand why you wouldn't include that level of detail, because it just gets confusing trying to keep up with two dynamic layers that are essentially cooperating to accomplish a single goal. Not to mention that most people don't care and don't need to know.
    I've been in technology as a career since 1990, when I joined the US Army and was trained in voice and data network hardware and software. Back then HTTP was still a fledgling protocol, and web browsers weren't really a thing yet... telnet was everything... but I digress. :)
    Good episode, I can't wait for the next one!

      @r6u356une56ney 7 років тому +4

      Mostly accurate comment. As you note, packet routing, DNS lookups, and email routing are all entirely different concepts.
      Two coments however:
      One, when classfull routing was still used in the last 1980's, each class started with a different octet. 1.x.x.x to 63.x.x.x were class A, 65.1.x.x to 126.255.x.x were class B, and 128.1.1.x to 223.255.255.x - and two, classful routing hasn't been in use on the Internet backbones since the late 1980's. Google "CIDR" if you want to learn more.

      Another is not getting the distinction between TCP and IP right. TCP doesn't even really belong in there, it's just IP. And part of the IP protocol is its addressing scheme. TCP is just a way to allow you to pretend you have something like the hard-wire phone line when talking over a packet-switched network.

    Two corrections TCP/IP isn't a program, it's a protocol; a set of rules that something has to adhere to. And you described a gateway, not a DNS server.
    So your computer polls a DNS server to translate the URL into an IP address and sends the packet to his gateway, which sends it further along the way till it reaches its destination or depleted it's TTL

      Trains There is no problem but sexism. Say "high-pitched" and "annoying", but they all use the same inflection in SciShow videos to help simplify. People are just not used to a new, woman host, whereas if it were a guy, they would probably be fine with it.

      i actually think she's a great presenter. I don't care enough to compare the presenters, because why they hell should I?
      What's important is the content, not the presenter themselves... This is a channel the revolves around science and learning. So long as the
      quality of the information presented doesn't change, i don't see any justifiable reason to complain.

I didn't realise it was still at CERN and it's kept in this 'globe' which is really dark inside, and it's near the corner. When I first of all looked at it i had to double take because it seemed out of place with the other displays in the room and there wasn't anything to advertise it being in that room.

      First of all, the original comment in this thread has been deleted--perhaps it was gratuitously cruel. But, much as I wanted to watch it, I had to turn this video off in its second minute. This young woman made it unwatchable. I went immediately to the comment section to see if I was being unfair, or if anyone else had had the same experience as me, and I found this censored thread.
      Look, this is something I know a little about: I trained as an actor and director at American Repertory Theater, Harvard's drama school. I'm sure she's a nice, young woman, but the idea that she is an effective presenter is ludicrous. The constant bobbing of her hands, as she performs the watusi to some unheard drum solo, makes this video one of the most annoying things I've ever seen. All while she reads from a prompter in a way that calls attention to itself. This is an audition tape that has gone horribly wrong. Completely unwatchable.

  • @TheOnyomiMaster
    @TheOnyomiMaster 7 років тому +1

    At 7:33-7:46, Olivia is wrong about the differences between TCP and IP. In fact, _both_ TCP and IP specify parts of the TCP/IP packet structure. But TCP also enables two computers to exchange data reliably over a connection. TCP also allows multiple programs to connect to the Internet from the same machine by using one of 65,536 software-defined ports. (TCP can be swapped out for UDP, which has its own set of ports but doesn't ensure reliability.)
    Other than that, great video! :)

    • @ag4ve
      @ag4ve 7 років тому

      Aidan Fitzgerald idk the differences were mentioned. But yeah, saying that the Internet is run on two protocols is wrong. TCP/IP is used to refer to the suite of protocols that are used on the Internet.
      Wrt referring to it as a program, it kinda was (winsock anyone?). Point being, until Windows 95 (B IIRC) and (again IIRC) OS/2, non-Unix operating systems didn't natively support networking. And there was a bit of a fight between IPX/SPX (remember Novell? Still around and selling GroupWise and the like) and TCP/IP - and mainframes spoke / speak different protocols altogether (thanks IBM - see TN3790 for an example of how different that is). Point being, even if you had network support, you didn't necessarily have the ability to connect to the computer you were looking for - it was still segmented until the mid 90s.
      Also, BBSs, and AOL, CompuServ, and Prodigy should really be mentioned along this time.

      That's true- but one reason why it became necessary for Kahn & Cerf to invent TCP/IP was that ARPANET was not the only packet-switching network being developed following Davies' 1966 proposals; it just happened to be the first to come onstream.
