• The internet works based on a series of protocols.
• Protocols are rules that tell computers how to talk to one another.
• IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are how other machines on the internet find each other.
Further questions can be answered by this GIF:
• You'll probably buy your house with a mortgage (which is basically just a housing loan).
• A general rule is that your house should cost 2.5 times your gross income.
• You should actually get your mortgage before you shop for your house — it's the safest way to know what's actually in your budget.
• After you get prequalified and preapproved for your mortgage, that's when a real estate agent comes in.

• There are two main types of touchscreens: resistive and capacitive.
• Resistive touchscreens are like the ones on an ATM — the screen actually bends inward, transferring the pressure into an electrical charge.

• Pretty much anything can be protected by insurance, from weddings to potential UFO abductions.
• No matter what you're protecting, you pay the insurance companies a monthly fee.
• Even if you think you might not need insurance, you should still have it — after all, you won't know you need it until you really need it.

• Primary elections help determine the candidates who will run for specific parties during the actual election.
• In most states, you have to be registered in that party to vote during the primary.
• Caucuses are kinda like primaries, except they're big IRL meetings.
• The Iowa and New Hampshire caucuses happen before the primaries do, so they help us predict which candidates will win the nomination.
And that's how we America, America.
• Honestly, this just means a place to store your files on the internet and not on your physical computer.
That's literally it.
