Entry Five : Internet

Hello,

For entry five, I would like to post about Internet that we have learnt as our learning outcome five. Internet is an communication medium which connects people and organization all over the world. Normally, Internet is used to find or access information, to upload or download files, to share resources, to correspond or meet with people and to shop for products and to sell them.

                           

Internet is originally  named as APANET ( Advanced Research Project Agency Network ) in 1969. When APANET is combined with other network in 1986, it became INTERNET.

There are many internet applications. Some applications are Email, Web, Internet Chat Room and VoIP.

 

  

Internet uses URL ( Uniform Resource Locators) in order to identify a web pages exact location. There are four part in URL which are transfer protocol, the domain name, path name and the file name.

                               

In order to access the web, there are three basic necessary which are internet connection, internet service provider and internet software program called browsers.
