Read the following sentences from the text.

“Let’s say you want to send a funny photo via Wi-Fi to your friend from your computer. First, a Wi-Fi connection needs to be established between your computer, a modem, and a Wi-Fi router. The modem and router together act as a gateway between your computer and the internet. When you click “send” on your computer, the photo is broken down into small packets of data that represent each pixel in the photo. These data packets are converted into digital signals made up of patterns of binary code. Now, this is another major way that Wi-Fi differs from wired networks: the Wi-Fi chip in your device translates these 1s and 0s into radio waves, rather than electrical impulses. These radio waves carrying the information about the photo reach the antennas of the nearest Wi-Fi router. The router acts like a traffic controller, directing the radio waves where they need to go within the local network. Eventually, the Wi-Fi receiver in your friend’s computer receives these waves, quickly decoding them back into digital signals made of binary code. If your friend’s computer is connected to the internet, it then uses these digital signals to reassemble the photo. Now, your friend can view it! Wi-Fi is essentially carrying a set of instructions which tell your computer what to do on each pixel on your screen.”

What conclusion can you draw from this evidence?

If you want to send your friend a funny photo, you will need to ask for their email address or phone number first.

If you zoom into a photo you have received from a friend through Wi-Fi, you will see many colorful 0s and 1s that make up the photo.

Wi-Fi carries a set of instructions that help people put together the photos you send them like a puzzle.

It may only take a few seconds to send a photo to your friend, but there are many processes taking place to get it done.
