Introduction to the Internet

[andrewducker]

In response to green_amber's request for an introduction to how the internet works, so she can hand it to non-technical people who deal with the internet, I've written this on my Wiki.

I'd really appreciate people taking a look and leaving comments here.

Every computer on the internet has a unique number.

That suggests to me the number will always be the same for any given computer, which I believe isn't the case. Would Every computer while connected to the internet has a unique number. be more accurate?
