The Internet & Web
Cloud Computing
Despite its name, "the cloud" isn't actually floating anywhere — it's sitting in enormous physical warehouses full of humming servers, in specific real-world locations you could technically drive to.
How the Internet Works
A "cloud" that, underneath all the wireless-feeling convenience, ultimately runs through physical fiber-optic cables laid across the ocean floor.
Net Neutrality
A principle that boils down to a simple question: should the company that provides your internet connection also get to decide which websites load fastest?
Social Media Algorithms
A system that quietly runs a personalized experiment on every single user, constantly testing what keeps you scrolling just a little bit longer.
