Introduction of Internet
A Brief History:
The Internet is a world wide network of networks. It is a conglomeration of smaller
networks and other connected machines spanning the entire globe. It consists of over 30,000
networks in 71 countries. Around the world, each country has at least one backbone network that
operates at a very high speed and carries the bulk of the traffic. Other smaller networks connect to
that backbone.
The biggest manifestation of networking phenomenon is the internet, which spans across
the globe and has as many as 75 million users logging on to it at some point in time or the other.
The Internet has no central authority--- networks on the Internet simply agree to
cooperate with each other. Individual computers on these networks can share files and transmit
information. Various networks connected to the Internet format messages with Internet Protocol
(IP). IP is often used in conjunction with TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol ). The
combinations of TCP / IP have made the Internet robust and flexible.
Use of Internet:
The Internet has revolutionized the communication methods around the world. Sitting at
a workstation or PC, one can get any kind of information one wants. The latest technological
advances have enabled it to be used as a business tool as well, with the result that companies are
today spending considerable amount of money on Internet research. The amalgamation of
computer and communication technologies have resulted in the integration of data, sound and
video on the Internet, which in turn has made it a powerful tool for re-engineering business
processes the world over.
One can use the Internet form for the following purposes:-
1. To exchange electronic mail with friends all over the globe for a small price.
2. To participate in group discussions on topics of interest, through public news groups.
3. To find educational tools. Universities around the world, book stores, and libraries are
sharing online information.
4. To shop--- commercial electronic store fronts are growing in number in the USA and
Europe. One can order different products over the Internet.
5. In the case of business one can get technical support for products one is using. One can
publish information such as technical or marketing literature.
6. Because the Internet is electronic, one can make changes to reflect late breaking news
that would be impossible for printed publications. Change becomes easier, updates are
simpler and information is instant.
7. The Internet has become the first global venue for publishing information. This network
has enough users now and is benefiting from the positive feedback loop; the more users
it gets, the more content it gets; and the more content it gets, the more users it gets.
8. Internet’s main asset is freedom. An alternative to control its freedom is to train and
educate the user.
There are several ways to connect to the Internet. The more expensive services provide
more features, more flexibility, and greater data transfer capacity. Large companies choose
dedicated Internet access or LAN dial-up. Smaller organizations are happy with PC dial-up access
and terminal emulation, which provides E-mail and other services through a service provider’s
computer.
