Identify and describe the difference between: an internet connected computer's numerical address and the human readable name for that computer.

An internet connected computer's numerical address is also called Internet Protocol address or commonly known as IP address. It is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP address serves two principal functions: location addressing and host or network interface identification. While the human readable name for that computer is commonly known as Computer Name or Machine Address, it is the identification of the device. Now, we can conclude the difference between an IP address and a machine address: In brief, the machine address is only one part of the IP address that identifies a location of a machine, and the IP address consists of numbers which identify a network as well as a computer machine.
