*The Other Room*
By www.afrilaugh.com
In the other room Hardened men become beggars The queen becomes the king to The king, just a beggarly page
In the other room We cry for joy Beg to be injured For there, we enjoy pain
In the other room We beg to suck milkless breasts Accept every proposal And promise any thing
In the other room Fate of nations are decided Destinies of men are fixed Death warrants are signed
The other room What a room! "

It is used for debugging or testing systems still in production stage, take for example you are building a web application and it is not live yet..you can use 127.0.0.1 to test it and see how it works...it is also called localhost..

I don't understand. Enlighten me.

127.0.0.1 is an address that can be used to test if ur laptop or desktop can connect to the internet I.e if the network interface card is not damaged.
I want you to do a quick test if u have a laptop, go to the command prompt, type PING 127.0.0.1 if u get a reply dat means ur laptop can connect to the internet ( wireless or lan cable ).
127.0.0.1 is also d only address u can go without internet access, u can try other address to confirm .
u don't need anyone's access or permission to enter ur house, guess dats wat d picture means

Ok, let me break it down a bit for you.

An IP address known as Internet Protocol is a string of unique numbers that identifies a computer to a particular network. Let's say for example: you're connected to the network of your school. This connection is like a bluetooth connection, but the difference is, it is a number that looks something like this: 216.3.128.12. This number is so unique because it is different from other numbers that belong to other computers in that same network of your school.

Now, although you have a unique ip address, it looks hard to start memorizing those numbers.
Let's say you are having a hard time connecting to your school's network and you want to diagnose the issue. You want to know if the necessary connection on your end is intact, then you can try to connect back to yourself through a process called pinging (loop back)

Now the technologist across the world decided that you can use 127.0.0.1 to ping yourself and check if your computer is working perfectly in terms of connection.

Apparently, when you type that number into the url space of your web browser eg mozilla firefox, chrome etc, it will comeback to you and as such 127.0.0.1 is called localhost or home.

Got it?
