Song lyrics
¿Qué aparecerá en el marco vacío? Ada toca la imagen de una ballena. La foto entera aún no está guardada. La solicitud va por wifi hasta el rúter. Una luz parpadea: viajan los datos. El wifi es solo un camino a la red. El rúter manda la solicitud más allá. Internet conecta muchas redes. Los dispositivos comparten datos. Va la solicitud; la respuesta vuelve. Redes unidas: eso es internet. El viaje cruza cables y fibra. Otros rúteres señalan varias rutas. El servidor encuentra aquella foto. Envía sus datos en pequeños paquetes. Pueden regresar por rutas distintas. Internet conecta muchas redes. Los dispositivos comparten datos. Va la solicitud; la respuesta vuelve. Redes unidas: eso es internet. La tableta reúne los paquetes. Los datos se unen como un rompecabezas. La ballena entera llena el marco. Páginas, mensajes y videollamadas son servicios, no son internet. Internet conecta muchas redes. Los dispositivos comparten datos. Va la solicitud; la respuesta vuelve. Redes unidas: eso es internet. Ada ya ve la ballena completa.
Language version lyrics
What will appear inside that empty frame? Ada taps a little whale on-screen. The full-size photo is not stored there yet. Her request goes by Wi-Fi to the router. A blinking light says data’s on the move. Wi-Fi is just one path into the network. The router points the request farther on. The Internet links up many networks. Devices send and share their data. A request goes out; the answer comes back. Linked-up networks: that’s the Internet. The journey runs through cables and bright fiber. Routers point it down available paths. A server finds the picture of the whale. It sends the data back in small packets. They may return by different routes. The Internet links up many networks. Devices send and share their data. A request goes out; the answer comes back. Linked-up networks: that’s the Internet. The tablet gathers all the packets back. Their data fits together like a puzzle. The whole whale fills the waiting frame. Web pages, messages, and video calls are services, not the Internet itself. The Internet links up many networks. Devices send and share their data. A request goes out; the answer comes back. Linked-up networks: that’s the Internet. Now Ada sees the whole whale in the frame.
