Windows = compatibility
macOS = programming power
Linux = real understanding

How does data actually move across the internet? At A-Level Computing, students learn that information isn’t sent in one piece—but as packets routed across global networks using strict protocols.

Data abstraction in A-Level Computing? Think of the London Tube map — it hides real distances & geography, focusing only on what matters: stations & connections. That’s abstraction — removing details to make complex systems easier to understand. #ALevelComputing #EdTech
