Episode 1: Pixels are just the start

In this very first episode, we begin the journey from pixels to packages by following what happens the instant you open a browser or app and try to reach something on the internet. We trace how names become destinations through DNS, how data is broken into packets, and how layered protocols move those packets across the network to distant servers and back. By understanding these invisible first steps, we lay the foundation for everything that follows, from rendered pixels on a screen to physical packages moving through the world.
