hi everyone thanks for being out here
today
joining us for this TEDx conference so
this is you and this report is your
friend and you know you talk to you talk
to your friends right but wait hold on
this isn’t the olden days what you
actually talked to your friends no we
live in the modern age so if you want to
talk to your friends you have to be able
to use Instagram and they spoke and
snapchat and iMessage you know the
entire world is connected right like
everyone is constantly facing like a
stream of notifications from all of
these social media apps and having a 16
year old brother I know that that’s how
all the high school students here
communicate with each other but this
extends beyond your high school in fact
the entire world is connected by this
technology and we thought that are
flying from different like places all
the time and this is happening and a
tremendous scaled like as on the order
of millions of Instagram flights daily
and over 2 billion monthly active users
on Facebook and 10 million people who
use snapchat every day but let’s just
take a step back and think about how
this actually happens so you’re sitting
right here you’re sending a snapchat to
your buddy who’s on the
the group how is it that your pictures
like ends up on somebody else’s phone or
if you’re trying to Google some obscure
homework question how is it that it ends
up on your computer suite like where is
that information coming from and it’s
also pretty cool that people like Will
Arnett’s you gettin all like Jade your
Instagram feed from different places of
the world so really the question is why
would this system even work on a surface
level I feel like most of us understand
how to actually use these applications
but today I want you to dip your toes
into the water and take a peek at how it
actually works
so first let’s break it down so really
all of the messages that are being sent
are all different types of data like
whether it’s text or images or video
that you’re streaming it’s all the
reforms of messages and they have to
figure out where they need to go how
like how to get there and what needs to
happen with that day know when it
arrives so it start with the first
question when you send a message how
does that data traveling and know where
to go
so for instance if you have just sent a
mail to your friend how do you know
where to send it well all houses have
addresses so when you send a message you
can send that man mail to a specific
like address it the exact same way and
there’s also this
Internet address sorry website so this
is called IP the Internet Protocol and
it is just like your actual address
every device that you have that is
connected to the Internet effectively
has its own Internet address and you can
actually find where you live on the
Internet in fact if you have a computer
actually put it that command and it’ll
spit out this number that has like the
floor or numbers that are dot separated
that is where you live on the Internet
so you’re trying to Munich a with
Facebook or Google or Microsoft or any
other website that you are trying to
reach it’s just a matter of figuring out
where your friend is live so you could
think about the Internet as kind of like
a giant neighborhood where every house
is like a different IP address and that
IP addresses where your messages are
going so it but you don’t know where you
don’t usually put it enough for a number
address in fact you usually just type in
google.com or you open an output that
uses the Internet
so at that point this idea that domain
name service is what determines where
that message needs to go and so really
that your net is is like really really
big favorite so that not only know where
to go is the matter figure out how we
actually get there so that’s where this
idea of like a transmission control
protocol or TCP comes in so TCP is
basically how about information is
actually routed to the correct
application and the correct destination
so if you’re trying to send
a certain amount of data that data
travels across the internet in the form
of various packets so if you’re trying
to send a picture that picture is broken
up into small pieces all right small
pieces and then sent over a network from
one address to another so yeah all of
those network packets are basically
traveling from one address store down
there so if you own actually their
movements let’s actually try and paint
the little dog home so we know that the
old uh problem lives at a specific IP
address so if you’ve just type in a
command like ping like tiny data packets
from google.com you can actually receive
receive that information by talking to
that specific address so this is like an
example of information actually
traveling and being able to receive it
and all of these messages must be
transmitted over whichever wires and
after computer to the Internet so this
is something that’s really interesting
to me and something that I don’t realize
for a while is that the Internet is
often portrayed as like this very
abstract thing but actually it’s
actually serious of like wires that are
like under the ground so if you look
right here this this picture is very
cool it’s basically a map of all of the
undersea cables that are connecting all
and so a TCP and IP these two ideas
together are basically like the
underlying like communication language
like up the internet so now that the
data has actually gotten to the correct
IP address then what happens at that
point okay at that point usually it’s a
data center so if you’re trying to talk
to Facebook like that information is
going to a Facebook data center and the
data centers are these massive buildings
where all the factual processing of your
data is happening so if you want to like
more pressure Instagram feed
better turn like that request comes to
data center that looks kind of like this
and their attorneys actually retrieves
all the information that you’re looking
for and in fact these are really big
operations that some of these data
centers can use as much I like your city
is like a small town and this is kind of
what a picture of what they look like
from the outside they’re usually like
really big like great buildings and
there are around like 10 15 feet of
centers for like all major tech
companies and they’re located in areas
around the world so most people who have
very fast accents because they’re
hitting data centers that are
geographically close to where they are
and as an example of help but much data
is variable to actually process that
once they’ve spoken and usually is
handling like 2.4 billion pieces of
content today and that is around 750
like terabytes of data
so this is a really like big high scale
computation that’s happening so really
what I kinda wanted to give you a
glimpse of today it was like the
technical infrastructure enables us to
like reach a world beyond and that
happens in more ways than one like on
one hand like this type of technology
allows us to reach out to people that
are on other sides of the world but also
what you like come to actually
appreciate understand how it works do
you see that it itself is a world we
often I think that’s what’s been the
most like valuable and rewarding thing
about working in the space and so I was
just hoping that the next time you try
to send a message that you can see what
is kind of going on in the background
may become deathly she ate that a little bit so thank you
today
