Warriors of the Net

Ever wonder how data magically appears on your screen after you click a link? It seems wild, right? Almost like magic!

Your computer will make more sense after having seen this!

As a disclaimer: yes, this video was made in the early 2000s. It's probably older than most of you. However, amazingly, much of the information in the video still holds true today! Try to forget the fact that the CGI looks awful and you might actually end up enjoying it!

Can I do this extra credit from home?: TOTALLY YES
