4. CHAPTER 1:INTRODUCTION
• The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that
use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users
worldwide.
• It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public,
academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope,
that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical
networking technologies.
• The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and
services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide
Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email The
commercialization of what was by the 1990s an international network
resulted in its popularization and incorporation into virtually every aspect of
modern human life.
• As of 2013, more than 2.1 billion people — nearly a third of Earth’s
population — use the services of the Internet.
• The largest network of the networks is called the Internet. The Internet
is a globally distributed network comprising many voluntarily
interconnected autonomous networks. It operates without a central
governing body.

5. CHAPTER 2: BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
INTERNET
Internet history revolves around four distinct aspects. There is the
technological evolution that began with early research on packet
switching and the ARPANET (and related technologies), and
where current research continues to expand the horizons of the
infrastructure along several dimensions, such as scale,
performance, and higher-level functionality.
1.ARPA – Advanced Research Project Agency.
2. 1969 January 2 – started an experimental Computer Network.
3. Concept – No Server, but equal importance/participation to
every computer in the Network.
4. Even if, one or two node destroyed that will not affect the
Network.

• 1. Electronic Mail (e-mail)
• 2. World Wide Web
• 3. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• 4. Chat Rooms
• 5. Mailing list
• 6. Instant Messaging
• 7. News Groups

9. Electronic Mail
• Electronic mail, commonly known as email or e-mail, is a
method of exchanging digital messages from an author to
one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the
Internet or other computer networks.
• Email servers accept, forward, deliver and store messages.
• An email message consists of three components, the
message envelope, the message header, and the message
body. The message header contains control information,
including attachment option, reason box, email address and
one or more recipient addresses. Message can consist of
attachments, graphic or video/audio clips.

10. E.g.: - e-mail addresses
• Samsung@gmail.com
• Apple@outlook.com
Some popular E-mail services providers are:
• 1. Gmail
• 2. Hotmail
• 3. Yahoo
• 4. MSN

12. World Wide Web (WWW)
Important features of the world wide web
(www) are listed below
• 1. Most important service provided by
Internet.
• 2. An internet-based hypermedia initiative for
global information sharing.
• 3. Developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee of
the European Particle Physics Lab (CERN) in
Switzerland.

13. Tim Berners-Lee

14. Search Engines
Search engines are used for searching
information on the Internet. Some of the
popular ones are:
• 1. Google
• 2. Yahoo
• 3. Bing

16. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard
network protocol used to transfer files from
one host to another host over a TCP-based
network, such as the Internet.
• FTP users may authenticate themselves using
a clear-text sign-in protocol but can connect
anonymously if the server is configured to
allow it.

17. • The first FTP client applications were interactive
command-line tools, implementing standard commands
and syntax.
• Graphical user interface clients have since been developed
for many of the popular desktop operating systems in use
today.

18. Chat Rooms
1. Real time typed conversation via computers.
2. Chat rooms (the channel or medium ).
3. Chat clients (program used to connect to a
chat server)
4. Normally included on a browser
5. Freely downloaded from the web
6. Some are text only; others support voice &
video

20. Mailing List
A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses
used by an individual or an organization to send
material to multiple recipients. The term is often
extended to include the people subscribed to such
a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as
"the mailing list", or simply "the list".
1. Group of e-mail address given a single name.
2. When a message is sent to the mailing list
everyone on the list receive the message.
3. To add your name to a mailing list you must
subscribe to it; to remove your name you must
unsubscribe.

21. . Instant Messaging
Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat which
offers real-time text transmission over the Internet.
A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over alocal
area network.
1. Notifies you when one or more people are online allow
exchange of messages and files
2. It allows you to join a private chat rooms.
3. Real time conversation that takes place on a computer
5. Chat room is location on server that permits users to
discus topics of interest
6. Some are the text only others support voice and video

23. News Groups
A news group is called as forum, an on-line discussion group. On
the Internet, there are literally thousands of newsgroups covering
every conceivable interest. To view and post messages to a
newsgroup, you need a news reader, a program that runs on your
computer and connects you to a news server on the Internet.
1. Online area in which users conduct written discussion about a
particular subject.
2. Usenet (collection of all internet news groups).
3. News server (computer storing newsgroups messages).
4. Newsreader (program used to access newsgroups).

24. 5. Articles (a previously entered message).
6. Posting (adding an article to the newspaper).
7. Message board (discussion board; easier to use).
8. Blog (short for the web log; regularly updated)

26. CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION
The Internet allows greater flexibility in working hours and
location, especially with the spread of unmetered high-
speed connections. The Internet can be accessed almost
anywhere by numerous means, including through mobile
Internet devices. Mobile phones, datacards, handheld game
consoles and cellular routers allow users to connect to the
Internet wirelessly.
For distance education, help with homework and other
assignments, self-guided learning, whiling away spare time,
or just looking up more detail on an interesting fact, it has
never been easier for people to access educational
information at any level from anywhere. The Internet in
general and the World Wide Web in particular are important
enablers of both formal and informal education.

27. The low cost and nearly instantaneous sharing of ideas,
knowledge, and skills has made collaborative work
dramatically easier, with the help of collaborative
software. Not only can a group cheaply communicate
and share ideas but the wide reach of the Internet
allows such groups more easily to form.
An example of this is the free software movement,
which has produced, among other things, Linux,
Mozilla Firefox, and OpenOffice.org. Internet chat,
whether using an IRC chat room, an instant messaging
system, or a social networking website, allows
colleagues to stay in touch in a very convenient way
while working at their computers during the day.

28. An office worker away from their desk, perhaps on the
other side of the world on a business trip or a holiday,
can access their emails, access their data using cloud
computing, or open a remote desktop session into
their office PC using a secure Virtual Private Network
(VPN) connection on the Internet.
This can give the worker complete access to all of their
normal files and data, including email and other
applications, while away from the office. It has been
referred to among system administrators as the Virtual
Private Nightmare, because it extends the secure
perimeter of a corporate network into remote
locations and its employees' homes.
