COMMUNICATION
• The Internet plays host to a variety of
services, some new, some decades old.
Email was among the earliest uses of
the Internet and remains a popular
way to send messages. Chat rooms
and chat clients still thrive. Computer
technicians continue to use services
such as File Transfer Protocol, a simple
way to copy files between distant
computers.
• The World Wide Web is a service that the
Internet provides, in which Web servers send
information as formatted “pages” of text,
images and other media. HTTP, which stands for
Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is the method by
which a user requests a page from the browser
on computer, with the Web server responding
to the request. The Internet carries data back
and forth between computer and server, acting
much as a telephone line does for traditional
phone calls. The Web is home to the social
networks that serve as primary communication
tools for people around the world.
• Many types of video games connect users
though the Internet, allowing them to play
cooperatively or competitively from PCs and
consoles. Players communicate with one
another through typed commands or
verbally using an audio interface, and each
sees the game scenario from their
character’s perspective. Video gamers also
share their gameplay through sessions
recorded on YouTube or streamed live
through Twitch, turning the video game
experience into a spectator sport.
