The internet presentation
- 1. The Internet By Oli Nicholls
- 2. What is the Internet? Well the internet is the computer network which allows computer users to connect with computers all over the world. We use it every day to go on our social networking sites or to look up something. It is filled with millions and millions of pages for us to browse. Without the internet, for many teens like myself and I'm sure many adults and kids too, life wouldn’t be the same!
- 3. Domain Names and IP Adresses The domain name is the address people type in their web browser to get to your web site for example at school I would type in ‘BRGS’ in Google to bring up a link to our schools website. The "real" address is called the IP address and is a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. I only know about IP addresses as I have to set mine up on my games console to be able to play against my friends online!
- 4. Data Packets and Packet Switching Data packets= a way of transferring data in small bits called packets. This is how most of data is crossed across the internet. Packet Switching= It’s the method in which the packets are transferred.
- 5. Routers Wireless models are the most common type of internet router but there are routers that use wires too. Internet data comes in to the router from the phone line and is converted into radio signals. This signal is then translated by the network card in your computer, smartphone or games console and translated into internet data again. At home I have a virgin media router which we have to connect to use the Wi-Fi.
