Tech Things You Use Every Day (Without Realizing It)
Most people use the internet daily…
Very few understand what’s actually happening behind the scenes.
Here are a few basics every digital business owner should know 👇
🔹 API
The silent messenger.
APIs allow apps and platforms to talk to each other without you seeing it.
Every “Login with Google,” payment confirmation, or CRM update happens because of an API.
🔹 DNS
The internet’s phonebook.
When you type a website name, DNS translates it into an IP address computers understand.
Without DNS, we’d all be memorizing long numbers just to visit a site.
🔹 HTTP vs HTTPS
That extra “S” matters.
HTTPS means your data is encrypted.
Without it, information like passwords and forms can be read while in transit.
🔹 RAM
Short-term memory for your device.
More RAM = smoother performance.
Closing unused apps actually helps because RAM gets freed up.
🔹 Cloud
Not the sky ☁️
Just powerful computers running 24/7 in secure data centers.
Your files, websites, CRMs, and AI tools live there.
Understanding these basics helps you make better tech decisions even if you’re not technical.
Which one surprised you the most?
