2. THE
INTERNET
Internet can be defined as a global network of
over a million of smaller heterogeneous
computer network.
It is an network of networks that consists of
millions of millions of private, public , academic,
business and government networks, of local to
global scope that are linked by a board array of
electronic and optical networking technologies.
It carries a vast ranges of information resources
and services, such as the inter linked hypertext
documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and
the infrastructure to support e-mail
3. ADVANTAGES
Greater access to information
reduces research times.
Useful communication links
Global reach enable to connect to
anyone on the internet.
Easy communication with other
people
Publishing documents on the
companies to advertise and conduct
business.
4. DISADVANTAGES
Cyber frauds may take place involving Credit/
debit card numbers and details.
Unsuitable and undesirable materials available
that sometimes are used by notorious peoples
such as terrorist.
Computer viruses get downloaded and spread
across machine connected to network and have
detrimental effects.
Much of the information on the internet may
be incorrect or irrelevant.
Message sent across the internet can be easily
intercepted and are open to abuse by others.
5. USES OF
INTERNET
It allows easily to connect ordinary personal computers to share
huge pool of information.
Companies carry out electronic commerce (commerce on
internet) including advertising, selling, buying , distributing
products and providing after sales services.
Scientists and scholars use the internet to communicate with the
colleagues, to perform research, to distribute lecture notes and
course materials to the students and to publish papers and
article.

speeded the communication between companies among co-
workers and between other individuals.
Hundreds of websites helps in handling daily transitions,
transfers , management and budget planning.
Media and entertainment companies use the internet to broadcast
audio and video including live radio and television programs.
6. HISTORY
On October 29, 1969, an organization called ARPANET
(Advanced Research Projects Agency) launched the first
iteration of the internet (also known as ARPANET)
connecting four major computers at The University of
Utah, UCSB, UCLA, and Stanford Research Institute
Department . When this network of computers was
connected, universities were able to access files and
transmit information from one organization to the other,
as well as internally.
As researchers developed the system, they
continued to connect computers from other
universities, including MIT, Harvard, and
Carnegie Mellon. Eventually, ARPANET was
renamed “internet.”
7. MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS
October 29, 1969: ARPANET (later renamed internet) created a successful connection between University of California Los Angeles and the Stanford Research
Institute.
Late 1960s: Libraries automate and network catalogs independent of ARPANET.
1970s: Transport Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is established, allowing for internet technology to mature. The invention of these protocols
helped to standardize how information was sent and received over the web.
1986: National Science Foundation funded NSFNET, which is the 56 Kbps backbone of the internet. There were commercial restrictions in place at this time
because federal funds were being used to run and maintain it.
1991: User-friendly internet interface was created.
July 1992: Delphi became the first national commercial online service to offer internet access.
May 1995: All commercial use limitations on the internet disappear. This allowed the internet to diversify and grow rapidly.
1997: Wi-Fi was invented.
1998: Windows 98 hit the market.
2007: Widespread smartphone adoption.
2009: 4G network is introduced.
Today: 3 billion people use the internet.
8. HOW THE INTERNET WORKS
The internet is a worldwide computer network that transmits a variety of data and media across interconnected
devices. It works by using a packet routing network that follows Internet Protocol (IP) and Transport Control
Protocol (TCP)
TCP and IP work together to ensure that data transmission across the internet is consistent and reliable, no
matter which device you’re using or where you’re using it.
When data is transferred over the internet, it’s delivered in messages and packets. Data sent over the internet is
called a message, but before messages get sent, they’re broken up into tinier parts called packets.
These messages and packets travel from one source to the next using Internet Protocol (IP) and Transport
Control Protocol (TCP). IP is a system of rules that govern how information is sent from one computer to another
computer over an internet connection.
Using a numerical address (IP Address) the IP system receives further instructions on how the data should be
transferred.
The Transport Control Protocol (TCP) works with IP to ensure transfer of data is dependable and reliable. This
helps to make sure that no packets are lost, packets are reassembled in proper sequence, and there’s no delay
negatively affecting the data quality.
9. WHO GOVERNS THE INTERNET
The short answer is that the Internet is basically not governed.
One component is governed, and that concerns domain names and
the associated IP addresses. There is an organization called the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers or ICANN
that supervises this process which was set up by the United States
in 1998.
10. INTERNET

mail message, containing the text "something like QWERTYUIOP." However, despite sending the e-
mail to himself, the e-mail message was still transmitted through ARPANET.
By 1996, more electronic mail was sent than postal mail.
