Then you're guessing, and the guess is usually whatever the person in front of you is pushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the real reason to spend an hour on how the internet works. Not to become technical. To stop being dependent on instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis course follows the Journey of a Click: the five things that happen, in well under a second, between typing an address and the page appearing. Once you can see that path, the habits you've been told to keep stop feeling arbitrary, because you can see which point on the path each one is guarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Journey of a Click,\u003c\/strong\u003e step by step, in plain English.

This is the part that makes everything else in the series click, because it turns a list of instructions into a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Decision Matrix.\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of the journey, the risk there, and what guards it.
