(CNN) - There's a historic and very important change taking place across the entire Internet. But you probably won't notice a thing.
Wednesday marks the launch of a new Internet protocol known as IPv6 .
That's the system that assigns numbered addresses to every computer, smartphone and other device connected to the Internet.
