question 1.  I regularly use Spotify to stream music on my phone. One feature I like is the personalized playlist recommendations on the home screen. Behind the scenes, my device likely sends an HTTP GET request to Spotify’s servers asking for recommended tracks based on my listening history. The server processes this request, runs algorithms to select songs I might like, and sends back an HTTP response containing the playlist data in JSON format. My app then parses that response and displays the recommended songs for me to play instantly.

question 2. Yes, this lab made me realize that every app or website I use is constantly sending and receiving HTTP requests in the background. Even simple actions, like loading a playlist or checking the weather, involve multiple requests and responses I never notice. It makes me appreciate how much coordination happens behind the scenes to make technology feel instant and seamless.

# The first line should be a quick description of what you changed.
# Then leave a blank line. 
# Then, once during your work on this lab, answer the following:
# 
# 1. Consider one Internet-enabled device or service you use regularly. 
#    Describe a feature of the device or service, and then hypothesize
#    about the HTTP requests and responses which might be taking place
#    behind the scenes to enable this feature.
# 2. Has this lab's hands-on exploration of requests and responses caused
#    you to think differently about any of your tech interactions in 
#    your daily life? 
#
# (For all other commits, just write a brief description of what you changed.)
