All reachable computers on the internet has a IP address like 208.80.152.2

DNS servers are like phone books that store a mapping between a user friendly name like "www.wikipedia.org" so that you don't have to write the servers IP manually.

This is all done automatically by the computer so when you point your browser to www.wikipedia.org, it asks a Domain Name Server (DNS) for the address which is 208.80.152.2, and the browser gets the webpage from the server at that address
