Internet and Services

Internet (H1)
The Internet is the telecommunication technology, which has brought a technological revolution not only in
offices but also at homes. It is the world’s largest computer networks, which connects several computers of
different types belonging to various networks all over the globe. The Internet can be defined as a technology
for linking local area networks (LANs) into a huge global computer network. Hence, the Internet is
considered a network of networks.

It is a network of networks comprising millions of private, public, academic, company and government
networks, ranging from local to global, connected by a wide range of electronic, wireless and optical
networking techniques. The Internet provides a wide variety of information and services including the World
Wide Web (WWW) interlinked hypertext files and the electronic mail support infrastructure.

History of Internet (H2)

 The seed of the Internet was planted in 1969 by the United State (U.S) Department of Defence
sponsored a project Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which connected
computers at different universities and at U.S defence.
 In mid of 1980’s another federal agency named National Science Foundation (NSF) created another
faster and high capacity network called NSFnet.
 Then private organisation started their own network called private network.
 After the development of World Wide Web in 1990’s the Internet become more popular.

Application of Internet (H2)

The Internet is very popular among millions of users worldwide because there is no application area left
where the Internet is not helping us. Let’s learn about various applications of the Internet.

 It helps people to communicate with each other from any corner of the world. Using Electronic
mail(Email) services, people can send messages to anyone just on the click of a mouse.

 It is the major media for creating and viewing any kind of information related to various field
science, art, music, history, computers, engineering, medicine, management, religion and games. We
can also act as a great source of entertainment watch news, sports and movies on the Internet.

 It is a vast virtual market place for advertising and selling products using the latest concept of
electronic commerce.

 It helps organisations to link their widespread offices and employees.

 It helps people to learn and to find suitable jobs.

 It helps people to chat with each other so that they can talk to their old friends and make new friends
across the world.
  It helps people to share any information through conferencing.We can do audio and
videoconferencing on the Internet.

 Web publishing is also called electronic publishing is a new approach of publishing on the Internet,
which is replacing paper books with electronic books.

Advantages of Internet(H2)
• Internet has made it easy for the users to communicate with anyone across the world through emails
instantly. It also provides the facility for face-to-face interaction using social media websites like Facebook,
Google Plus, LinkedIn and through telecommunication application like Skype.
• The users can access any information related to their interests on the Internet through different search
engines.
• Internet plays an important role in the process of learning. Students can learn various concepts related to
different subjects using the audio or video lessons available on the Internet. Teaching videos of teachers and
other subject matter experts can be accessed on the Internet.
• The users can share any information in the form of text, graphics, audio and video files over the Internet
with one user or many at the same time.
• The users can buy or sell goods on the Internet. They can avail other facilities like electronic banking to do
online banking transactions and maintain their accounts. They can also make reservations online.
• It is easy to share devices like printers and scanners in a network thus reducing the cost of purchasing
hardware.

Disadvantages of Internet(H2)
• There may be some loss of information while sharing the information over the Internet. This information
can be stolen by someone with bad intentions. Therefore, it is advised not to share personal information like
bank details, passwords, and details of credit cards and debit cards.
• Sometimes, the information present on the Internet may not be true. But it spreads instantly over the
Internet. This can cause problems and misunderstandings among the users.
• Computers connected to Internet can be attacked by virus. This can delete important files from the system
thus resulting in the loss of important data and information.
• The unwanted emails for advertisement purposes received by the users are called spam. This slows down
the system and makes the user face a lot of problems. Sometimes, these emails may contain virus which can
harm the computer.

Connecting to the Internet(H1)

There are several ways to connect to the Internet.

Dial-up Connection(H2)

Dial-up connection uses phone line to interface PC to the Internet. It requires a modem to arrange dial-up
association. This modem functions as an interface among PC and the phone line.
(IMAGE 2 )
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)(H2) :ISDN uses the phone lines that carry digital signals
instead of analog signals to establish the link.
(IMAGE 3 )

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)(H2)

It is a type of broadband connection as it connects to normal telephone lines.

(IMAGE 4 )

Cable TV Internet Connections (H2)

Internet connection is establish via cable TV lines. It uses coaxial cable that can transfer information at
much higher speed than the usual telephone line.
(IMAGE 5 )

Satellite Internet Connection(H2)

Satellite Internet connection provides high speed connection to the Internet. There are two types of satellite
Internet connection.

 One Way Connection: In this connection, we can only download data but if we want to
upload, we need a dial-up access through ISP over telephone line.
 Two Way Connection: In this connection, we do not require any dialup connection and
can download and upload the data by the satellite.

(IMAGE 6 )

Wireless Internet Connection (H2)

Wireless Internet connection uses radio frequency bands to link to the Internet and provides very high
speed. Either WiFi or Bluetooth can be used to obtain the wireless Internet connection.
Internet Terminology (H1)
Let’s learn about different terms related to the Internet.

 WWW (H2)

WWW stands for World Wide Web. In World Wide Web user uses the Internet resources and the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). A wider concept comes from the organisation the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee. The World Wide Web, an
embodiment of human understanding, is the universe of network-accessible data. The World Wide Web
is, in easy terms, a way to exchange data on the Internet between computers, linking them together into a
vast collection of interactive multimedia resources.

Internet and Web are not the same thing the Web uses the Internet to pass over the information.

 Client (H2)

It is a device or a program that requires services via the web. It requests the server for the services
function and content. A Client can be a computer, laptop, tablet or web browser.

 Server (H2)

A device or a program that responds to the request of the client by providing service to them. It provides
function or services to the client when the client request services. A Server can be a database server, web
server or file server.

(IMAGE 8 )

 Web Browser (H2)

Web Browser is a software application that enables us to view and explore web-based data. By entering a
URL in the address bar, the user can request for any web page. A Web browser can be used to display
text, audio, video, animation, etc. Web browsers has to interpret the text and commands on the web page.
A web browser is not the same as a search engine, although the two are often confused. For a user, a
search engine is just a website, like google.com, that stores searchable information about other websites.
But to connect to the server of a website and display its web pages, a user must have a web browser
installed on their device. The aim of a web browser is to collect data resources from the Web and show
them on a user's computer.

Following are the most common web browser available today:

Chrome Safari

Firefox (also
known as Opera
Mozilla
Firefox)

Sea
Monkey
Edge
 Comodo
Internet
Dragon
Explorer

 Web Server (H2)

Web server is a computer that stores Internet content. Web server is primarily used to host websites, but
other web servers such as gaming, storage, FTP, email, etc. also exist.

(IMAGE 7.1 )

A Web site is a collection of a web pages while the web server is software that responds to the
request for web resources.

 Web Site (H2)

Website simply known as the site is a collection of web pages that usually consists of a home page and
many related pages along with the hyperlinks. The pages of a website are written in Hypertext Mark-up
Language (HTML). A website can be managed by an individual or an organisation.

More to learn

The first website created was info.cern.ch, and it is still online.

 Web Page (H2)

Web page is a worldwide Internet document. Web pages are stored on web servers and can be viewed
through a web browser. A web page may contain enormous data including connections to text, graphics,
audio, video and hyper. The connection to other web pages are hyperlinks.

More to learn

The collection of linked web pages on a web server is known as a website. There is a unique Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) that is associated with each web page.

 Home Page (H2)

The home page is the gateway to your site. It is also known as the front page. It is the road map, the
index and the table of contents that informs users where to find important information they need to take.
The home page is the most important page on a website because it gives a first impression of the website
owner. The home page should look professional, ethical and artistic. It should convey the purpose of the
 site, the content contained in the site and the way to find that content as you can see on the home page of
the website http://www.vivagroupindia.com.

(IMAGE 7 )

 Web Address (H2)

Each web page includes a particular and unique address that we call its web address or its URL (Uniform
Resource Locator). Let suppose http://www.vivagroupindia.com is a web address of the VIVA group of
publishers home website. A Web address is used to retrieve a web page by a web browser. If you want
any web page simply writes its web address in the search and you will have it on your screen.

 URL(H2)

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL)is a unique identifier that is used to find a resource on the Internet.
It's also referred to as a web address. URLs consist of various components including a protocol and
domain name that say a web browser how and where to get a resource. The URL contains the protocol
name needed to access the resource, as well as the resource name. The first component of a URL defines
which protocol to use as the main access medium. The second portion defines where the resource is
situated or the IP address or domain name.

(IMAGE 8 )

 Protocol(H2)

A set of rules that determines how the data should be transferred over networks (compressed, presented and
so on) is known as a protocol. Let’s learn about different types of protocols.

Google Chrome utilizes the faster SPDY (pronounced as speedy) protocol instead of HTTP (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol) while communicating with Google services.

 Domain Name System (H2)

Domain name is a readable computer address that identifies the location of a computer on the Internet.
Domain name system is the conceptual system of naming domains that forms the hierarchical organisation of
the Internet. This system is also called a letter addressing system.

The general format of this system is name-of-user@name-of-host.subdomain.domain where, Name-of-user

is the name of the Internet account for logging into the host computer. Name-of-host is the name of each
computer on the Internet. The Subdomain is generally the name of the organisation. Domain is a group of
computers that are administered as a unit in the Internet letter addressing system, which is easily understood
by a person.

 IP Address (H2)
 It is a unique 32-bit address is assigned to each computer that is connected to the Internet. It is given in a
four-part decimal number (example: 132.116.42.51). Each part represents 8 bits of the 32-bit address,
which cannot exceed 255. The 32-bit address is called a dotted quad whereas each 8 bit part is called an
octet.

The 32-bit address is also called an IP address or Internet address. For example, 5.232.59.82 is an
IP address where 5,232,59 and 82 are octets. The IP address identifies the location of a particular
computer on the Internet. IP addresses are organised from left to right and consist of a sequence of
domain and sub domain codes. This system of addressing on the Internet is also called Number
Addressing System. It is directly understood by the machine.

 Telnet (H2)

Telnet is an Internet exploration tool that is used for logging on remote computers on the Internet. Using
Telnet, we can communicate with a wide range of remote systems with which we have an account.
Telnet is mainly used to access databases on other systems. It is frequently used by libraries. Using
Telnet, we can use our computer from anywhere in the world.

Newsgroup (H1)

Usenet is a worldwide computer-based discussion system on the Internet. It consists of special groups set up
by the Internet user on a range of topics from entertainment activity to scientific research. These groups of
topics in Usenet are called newsgroups. Usenet consists of thousands of newsgroups, each of which consists
of articles sent by the Internet users. A special type of program, called Newsreader accesses Usenet. This
program helps us to handle the volume of news available on Usenet. With newsreader, we can select the
news which we want to read or discard the news which we don’t need.

Usenet is a forum in which people share news on a defined topic through large electronic bulletin boards on
the Internet. Since newsgroups are open, discussions become quite scattered on them. Thus, Usenet
newsgroups are organised into various categories called hierarchies. These hierarchies include the following
three sub categories.

 Standard Newsgroups: These include high quality discussions which can’t be established without a
formal voting procedure. The top-level standard newsgroup hierarchies are as follows.

 Comp: It is used for everything related to computers.

 Sci: It is used for discussions on science and engineering.
 Soc: It is used for social groups.
 News: It is used for news about Usenet.
 Rec: It is used for recreational subjects such as sports, aviation, music and arts.
 Talk: It is used for random discussions on controversial subjects including politics, religion,
etc.
 Misc: It is used for other topics such as health, law and books.

 Alt Newsgroups: These include discussions which can be established by anyone with the requisite
technical knowledge.
  Biz Newsgroups: These include discussions for commercial use.

HTML(H1)
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the first ever encoding scheme used to create and format a web
page. It is an improved version of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). HTML is a versatile
language and can be used on any platform. It can be used to display any type of document on the host
computer, which can be geographically at a different location.
HTML is a language that is employed to describe the structure of a web page. It is a standard language used
by web for creating and recognizing hypermedia documents on the web. It is the most exciting and easy to
use language for presenting documents on the web. HTML formats data and the browser posts the data using
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to the web server for further processing. The browser displays the
formatted information on the monitor. HTML is simple ASCII text that can be read on nearly any operating
system including DOS, Windows, UNIX and Macintosh.

The salient features of HTML are listed below.

 It provides tags to make the web page look attractive. We can use graphics, colours, fonts, etc. to
enhance the presentation of a web page using HTML.
 It provides different tools to present the data to be viewed on the Internet in various forms. Whenever
there is a need to publish some information on the Internet, HTML tags are used.
 It files include both control information (tags or elements) and content (data) which together describe
the appearance and contents of web pages.
 It provides mechanism to tie up with other the Internet protocols (rules) and services on the web like
e-mail, FTP, Telnet, Usenet and Newsgroups and HTTP so that the web pages can deliver many
kinds of resources

Blog (H1)
Blog is an online journal or diary where entries are posted by the Internet users called bloggers for electronic
publishing. A blog may comprise text, images, hypertext and hyperlinks to other web pages or files
(document/audio/video). Each entry posted by the blogger is called post and the activation of updating a blog
is called blogging. Blogs are updated on a regular basis by the bloggers. They may contain information
related to a specific topic. Some people use blogs as daily diaries about their personal lives and views on
various topics of public interest while others use them for business purposes to earn money. Blogs can be
shaped into a way the blogger wants them to be as they give him an opportunity to write content that is based
on his views and experiences.

full-text or other indexing based on content. Information Retrieval is the science of looking for data in a
document, looking for records themselves and also looking for the metadata that describes data, and for
databases of texts, images or sounds.

More to Learn
Surfing refers to searching information on the Internet without knowing what we are searching.

Locating Sites using Search Engine (H2)

Search engines are software that searches the web pages of the World Wide Web for specified keywords
and displays a list of websites containing these keywords. Using a search engine, you can find any
information on the Internet and thus visit the required website. Search engines are always used through a
web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Opera. The commonly used search
engines are Google, Bing, Yahoo, Rediff , Lycos and WebCrawler. You can access any of these search
engines by entering their URL in the address bar of your browser. The URLs of some popular search engines
are described below.

Search Engine URL

Google https://www.google.co.in
Bing https://www.bing.com
Yahoo https://www.yahoo.com
Rediff https://www.rediff .com
Ask https://www.ask.com
Lycos https://www.lycos.com
WebCrawler https://www.webcrawler.com

To understand the process of searching information using a search engine, let’s consider an example.
Suppose you want to find information about Facebook. To visit the websites providing such information,
follow the steps given below.

Step 1:Start the web browser by double-clicking on its shortcut icon (such as Google Chrome) from the
desktop.

Searching Techniques (H3)

The various search techniques are used to increase the performance of the search.

Phrase Searching(H4): When we search for more than one keyword is called a Phrase Searching. It is
required to enclose the phrase in quotation marks.
Example : "Software package”

(IMAGE 22 )

AND Searching(H4): When you place the word AND between two keywords, you are telling the search
database that you want to search for only those keywords.
Example: Computer AND Copyright

(IMAGE 23 )

OR Searching: (H4): When you place the word OR between two keywords, you are telling the search
database that you want to search either of one keyword from two.
Example: Nuclear OR Radiation
It will search for the word nuclear or radiation. We will not get both the results at same time.

(IMAGE 24 )

NOT Searching: (H4) Not gives you the ability to weed out certain keywords on your final list. We usually
put a NOT in front of your word for this search.
Example: Nuclear NOT Radiation
It will search the word nuclear but not radiation. The database will pull up all nuclear pages but not nuclear
radiation pages.

(IMAGE 25)

Near Searching: (H4) Sometimes it is useful to use a keyword and tell the database you want a keyword
that's near another word. You can specify the word count from the main keyword with NEAR SEARCHES.
Example: Investigator NEAR/15 "surveillance issues"
It will search the site with the word investigator in it with the phrase "surveillance issues" fifteen words
closer to the main keyword" investigator.

(IMAGE 26 )

Wildcard Searches: (H4) Wildcards searching generally places the symbol "*" after a word. It tells the
database to look for variations of that word.
Example: Investigation*
It might search sites with words such as investigation, investigator, and investigative.

Nested Searching: (H4) Nested searching is usually one or more of the specialized search strategies
describe above together.
Example: Investigator NEAR (Texas OR Tx)
It will search investigators in Texas or TX .

Finding People on Net (H2)

There are several search engines which are exclusively used to find name, e-mail address, mobile number
and other information of a person staying in any part of the world. Some common search engines to find
people are WhitePages, Zabasearch, PeopleFinders and Google Find People. Letʼs learn to find a person
using a search engine by following the steps given below.
