This explains how TCP, IP, and DNS work together to make internet communication smooth and reliable. You clearly showed how each protocol has its job, but they all work as a team. I like how you used the example of visiting a website; it helps make the process easy to understand. DNS translates the web address into an IP address is like looking up a phone number in a contact list. Then IP makes sure the request gets to the right server, kind of like sending a letter to the right house. Finally, TCP is like the mail carrier who checks that all the pieces of the message arrive safely and in the right order. It’s amazing how fast this all happens, and most people don’t even realize it. Your paragraph did a good job of showing how these protocols keep the internet running smoothly without us even noticing all the work going on behind the scenes.
