Physical Internet: The Future of Logistics?
<p>In my case, being born in the year 2000, the internet seems like a given to me. Something that has always existed, almost like magic. In 2006, I got my first computer, and from that moment on, I knew that with a simple command in the browser, I could access millions of web pages. However, it wasn’t always this way. Before this happened, there was the Intranet. If you had access to one of these networks, you could have a similar experience to the internet, but limited to the sites within that network.</p>
<p>This worked this way until the internet came into existence. Closed information networks ceased to exist and became open to everyone. On the internet, data is sent in packets from a source to a destination through various networks. To make this work seamlessly, devices and rules called protocols are used. Routers determine the path of packets to their destination, and modems are used if the transmission medium changes, such as from Ethernet cable to a wireless network. Two essential protocols are TCP, which breaks down data into transmittable packets, manages them on the internet, and ensures their delivery, and IP, which establishes routing and addressing rules for routers to send packets to the correct destination. There is no need to mention the impact this invention had on our lives.</p>
