Hey there, tech enthusiasts. Welcome to another sip of tech knowledge on Tech Brewed, your go to spot for all things tech. So grab your favorite mug, and let's dive in together. Cheers to learning something new. In this episode, we're gonna cover 3 tech topics. First up will be DNS. We're gonna give a little explanation on that. Next, we're gonna give you some websites where you can find ways to improve your AI prompting and finish up with some explanation of the ways that AI chat bots are being used today. So if you're ready, let's go. Ever wondered how your computer knows where to find websites? Well, buckle up because we're about to unravel this internet mystery. Imagine the internet as a massive bustling city. Every website is a building in this city and just like in the real world, we need addresses to find these buildings. But here's the thing, while we humans are great with names like sysexplorer.com, our computers, they prefer numbers. That's where DNS comes in. It's like the ultimate address book of the Internet. So how does this magical address book work? Let's break it down step by step. Picture this. You're sitting at your computer, craving some tech knowledge. You type sysxplore.com into your browser. What happens next? First, your computer does a quick check. Hey, it thinks. Have I been to this website before? If it has, it might remember the address and take you there right away. Pretty smart, right? But what if your computer draws a blank? Well, that's when it turns to your Internet service provider or ISP for help. It's like asking a friend. Hey. Do you know where this place is? Now if your ISP is also stumped, that's when things get really interesting. Your ISP starts a journey across the Internet asking different servers for directions. It's like a digital scavenger hunt. The first stop, the root server. Think of this as the city's main information desk. It doesn't know exactly where sysexplore.com is, but it knows which neighborhood to look in. In this case, the dot com neighborhood. So your ISP adds to the dot com neighborhood and asks the TLD server there, which is top level domain for TLD. This server is like the neighborhood guide, knowing all the buildings in the area. But even if it doesn't know the exact address, it just points your ISP to someone who does. That someone is the authoritative name server. This is the local expert who knows exactly where sysexplore.com lives. Finally, your ISP gets the address it's been looking for. Now here's the cool part. Your ISP rushes back to your computer with this address, your computer follows it, and voila, the website appears on your screen. And the best part, this whole process happens in the blink of an eye. So the next time you type a web address and see a page load almost instantly, remember the incredible journey that just took place. DNS, our Internet GPS worked its magic to get you exactly where you wanted to go. And there you have it, folks. The mystery of DNS unraveled. I hope this little journey through the Internet city has been as as fascinating for you as it has been for me countless times.
