How Does it work? - Email

The video explains the journey of an email from Aiden's laptop to his grandma's device. It details how the email is transmitted over Wi-Fi to the ISP's server, divided into data packets, and sent through various Internet pathways. The packets are reassembled at the recipient's server, allowing the email to be downloaded intact. This process highlights the efficiency and complexity of digital communication technology.
