Go check your phone’s IP right now. I dare you. Feel the thrill of that discovery. It’s a tiny moment of digital glory.
Next, look at your friend’s phone. Compare them. They will likely start with the same three numbers (like 192.168). That’s your router’s doing. Your network is a tiny city, and every device has a street address.
You now speak a little bit of internet. Go forth, connect, and maybe impress someone at a coffee shop. Just don’t be a show-off. “My IP is 10.0.0.7, actually.” See? Playful, curious, and slightly annoying. Perfect.
