If computer A wants to send a message to computer B then A must know B’s ID number and then send the information package to the routers and tell the routers to deliver to the computer with B’s ID number.

Right now we call the computer’s ID number to be IP addresses. For example, this is the ip address of www.google.com 157.166.266.25. As you can see, it is difficult to remember by human. Therefore some clever mind invented a DNS (Domain Name System).
