+
+**Understanding the Three Layers of the Internet**
+
+![](internet_3layers.png)
+
+The Internet is made of 3 layers: 
+
+1. **Compute & Storage:** This layer houses applications and is predominantly centralized, operating from vast data centers.
+
+2. **Network:** The network layer facilitates the movement of information, whether it's wireless, via cables like fiber, or through satellite links. Today, information often travels long distances, with a few companies controlling over 80% of the internet’s network capacity.
+
+3. **Applications:** These are hosted in large data centers, relying on the centralized compute and storage layers. This centralization makes the system vulnerable.
+
+**Current Challenges**
+
+Digital information primarily flows through extensive fiber backbone networks, as shown here:
+

+
+The internet’s design causes inefficiencies, such as when two people in Zanzibar use a service like Zoom. Their data travels all the way to European data centers where Zoom's servers are hosted and back, leading to slow performance, decreased reliability, and increased costs.
