You know how the Internet works, right? Of course you do: you're a TechCrunch reader, a power user. You know what that "HTTP" means in your address bar (if you're not using Chrome.) You know that behind the scenes, the Domain Name System translates your requests for domain names like techcrunch.com to numeric addresses like 76.74.254.121, and secure connections are encrypted by SSL. You know that web servers send HTML, the lingua franca of the Web, over the wires (or the air) to your computer, and that web developers write JavaScript to control what your browser does with it....Unless you're actually a techie. In which case you probably already know that the above description -- let's call it the Classic Web -- is increasingly completely false.What follows is a little technical, but bear with me, I have a larger point. (Also, even if you're not a techie yourself, you need to have some understanding of what today's tech does, and how it does it, in order to make intelligent decisions.)
