It's sort of like how you differentiate homes on a street by their numbers, except here the numbers are longer. To keep track of the computers on the internet, each one that's connected is assigned an IP address. That big place is filled with websites and connected computers that access and host them. In the case of an IP address, that step is hiding it from the public. Nothing would usually come of wearing your address prominently on your jacket, but that one time something did happen you'd wish you'd taken a precautionary step. However, when you browse the internet, that's sort of what happens, except with your internet protocol (IP) address.
When you head out into public, to a coffee shop to meet friends or a convenience store for some supplies, you don't usually have your phone number or home address pasted to the back of your jacket.
