At Doteveryone, part of making the internet for everyone is making it understandable by everyone.
We’re starting to create some straightforward explanations about how the internet works, and collecting them here.
We hope being better-informed will help you feel more comfortable online and in the digital world. You might even find the topics interesting!
If you want to know more about a topic we've not covered, let us know by emailing explainers@doteveryone.org.uk.
