This is me not understanding something, sorry, you are the only people I know who understand computers. So here goes:
Do I understand correctly that every "address" you can have in the "internet" is really just a mnemnotechnical shortcut to a numerical "URL", so that anything
www.blahblahblah etc. will translate into a 16-digit number?
Is it also true that every single computer with a connection to the "internet" via a modem or whatever also has a unique URL number? (Or is that IP and IP is different?)
If the above is correct (maybe it is more or less digits?), then isnt the number of internet addresses /computer IPs that can be given pretty finite? I mean, in like 10 years or whatever, wont all of the numbers be gone?
Thanks for helping me understand this.
OT question: URLs
