Not a dumb question at all! *What is a URI?* It’s like the ID card for resources, whether online or not. URLs are the subset that includes the "how to get there" part.
Example:
- URI: `file:///Users/you/doc.txt` (points to a local file)
- URL: `https://google.com` (points to a website)
For web dev, you’ll care when dealing with APIs or linking non-HTTP stuff. Mozilla’s docs are great, but if you want something lighter, freeCodeCamp has a nice video breaking it down.
