Editor's Notes
- Bill Gates said the internet is the town square connecting the global village of tomorrow – but what is it exactly, how does it work and who controls it?
- A computer netowrk is a group of computers connected to each other electronically. This means that the computers can "talk" to each other and that every computer in the network can send information to the others. (Source: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network)
- The internet is a massive public spiderweb of computer connections. So it is a worldwide computer network of networks.
- It is the physical network of computers all over the world – so its all the hardware that connects everyone in the village.
- So what is the world wide web? Is it the same thing as the internet?
- The if the internet is the physical hardware, the world wide web is the virtual network of websites connected or linked together.
- The continents are connected to each other through undersea cables
- The undersea cable network is massive and is continuallygrowing.
- The continents are also connected by satellites
- Satellites in the atmosphere connect to satellites on each continent, which connect to computer networks all over the continent.
- So what is the purpose of connecting the world by means of cables?
- So the world can communicate. The town square is where people get together to talk. The internet is the place where people get together to communicate.
