Welcome to Science Fiction,

0:15:040:15:06

where we explore the vast web of science...

0:15:060:15:08

..and try to untangle the fact from the fiction.

0:15:080:15:11

BUD-E, what's today's question, please?

0:15:110:15:14

How are you, love? I've just been in for a service, there.

0:15:140:15:16

Feeling chipper, so I am.

0:15:160:15:18

Today's question comes from Eden in Kilmeaden.

0:15:180:15:21

Where exactly is the Internet? Is it up in the sky?

0:15:210:15:24

Hang on there a minute, I'll ask the Internet. Its knows everything.

0:15:240:15:27

WINDOWS ERROR NOISE

0:15:270:15:29

What's the password on this, again?

0:15:290:15:31

The Internet is a vast network

0:15:310:15:32

allowing people all over the world to exchange information.

0:15:320:15:36

It's sort of like a world-wide web. Ha!

0:15:360:15:38

To help us understand how the Internet works,

0:15:380:15:41

let's imagine a really big road network.

0:15:410:15:43

Ha! I'm in! Right.

0:15:450:15:46

The cables, wireless networks and satellites

0:15:460:15:49

are like the motorways, roads and bike lanes.

0:15:490:15:52

You could say really it's like an information superhighway. Ha ha!

0:15:530:15:58

Over this physical network,

0:15:580:16:00

information travels in all directions

0:16:000:16:01

and in many different forms.

0:16:010:16:04

There's just so much to learn.

0:16:060:16:08

Look here, there's a cat playing banjo!

0:16:080:16:10

So, now you know, Eden, the Internet is all around us,

0:16:120:16:15

not just fixed at one point in the sky.

0:16:150:16:18

So that's just a load of old science fiction.
