    DNS is your computers address book.

    If you want to go to ‘Daves house’ you need to translate that into an address first, which you can then travel to.

    Your computer does the same thing, first translating ‘youtube.com’ into an IP address to connect to.

    If your DNS/address book is broken or inaccessible, you can still connect to the internet/travel, but you really struggle to figure out where to actually go.

      Of all the answers I got, this produced the least amount of steam from my ears. I appreciate you making it so clear and would feel inclined to encourage any inclinations you may have toward teaching, were I to know they existed.

        I don’t mind teaching, in limited doses; but I do not have the patience/temperment to handle a class of students or even regular one-on-one sessions.

        Nobody wants their teacher getting frustrated because they don’t understand something new, and it’s not fair to put students in that position.
