Data Travel
 A computer (or other device) connected to the Internet acts as
either a client (a computer that asks for information) or a server (a
computer that receives the request and returns the information to the
client).
 Data travels between clients and servers along a system of
communication lines or pathways. The largest and fastest of these
pathways is the Internet backbone.
 To ensure that data is sent to the correct computer along
the pathways, IP addresses (unique ID numbers) are assigned to all
computers connected to the Internet.

10. Three main ways to connect to the Internet

Dial-Up
 All you need is a computer, phone-line and Internet Service Provider! (ISP)
 Not as fast as other Internet connections, but often more affordable

High Speed/DSL
 Travels through fiber-optic cables underground
 Needs to be connected by a Modem to your computer
• Modem: A hub that connects the computer to the Internet
 Faster than Dial-up

Wireless Connection (Wi-Fi)
 Your computer must be a “Wireless enabled” device
 Your computer can pick up signals from different wireless networks
 Some networks require passwords or a subscription, others are free

in place, we were only able to be passive users of the web.
Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the
World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing
platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services
are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many
purposes.“ Wikipedia

sites, blogs, wikis, podcasts, and webcasts. Social networking sites enable
you to communicate and share information with friends as well as meet and
