I like the analogy of IP as writing an address on a letter—the way that actually explains the idea. It’s amazing how these protocols behind the scenes interact with each other in order to be able to make something like going on the internet work. One thing you might be interested to know is that HTTPS is a layering over HTTP by using SSL/TLS for encryption. That extra protection is really important for something like online banking or shopping.
