Part 3/10:
Beneath this surface web lies the deep web, which makes up the vast majority of the internet's depths. The deep web refers to all the online data that's hidden from search engines and requires special access. Don't be scared by the name; it's not dark or scary. Think of it as the private homes, offices, and clubs in the internet city—places you can’t just walk into. Your email inbox, online banking, private social media messages, academic databases, and medical records all live in the deep web. They are protected behind passwords or secure walls, ensuring your personal information stays private and safe.
