Behind almost every web page, email, and podcast is a system that translates addresses understandable to humans to something which can be understood by computers.
The system is one of the foundations of the Internet, yet its origin was in a handmade list that was placed on a single computer.
Unbeknownst to the creators of the system, it would eventually affect the fortunes of entire countries.
Learn more about the Domain Name System, how it originated, and how it works, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
