Internet

Assalamualaikum..

Hai!! Today, I'm going to write about Internet. This topic is quite interesting and nowadays it become important in our life. People will use internet for many things such as for communicate with others, for search information and so forth. Of course we know what the uses of internet but do we know the history of internet??

Internet is about network or computer network and the largest network in the world that connects people or organization all over the world. Sometimes, Internet will called global. Internet has been started in 1969 and as known as ARPANET ( used in California). In 1980, ARPANET was renamed as Internet. 


There are 6 services on the internet. The first one is EMAIL. It is a electronic mail that can used to create, receive, send and store email. 

The example of Email

The second internet service is Web. Web has created by Tim Berners Lee and sometimes it known as 'www'. It contains hypertext link or highlighted keywords and images that lead to related information. 

Website is a collection of linked web page that has a common theme or focus

About us, Services, Portfolio, Contact and Blog are the examples of Web Page

For me, the crucial thing in this topic is HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) that uses to display web pages and other information that displayed in a web browser. It allows web browser to read them and the text must be formatted according to a standard. There are 3 methods to access the Web. The first method is internet connection. We have to connect with the internet first before we access the web. The second method is ISP (Internet Service Provider). This is an organization that provided us with the internet connection. The last one is web browser. This is application program that used to view the web page like Google chrome and Internet Explore. There are two structure of the web which is Web Server and Web Client.  Web Server is computer that serve Web Pages while Web Client is our computer.

The third internet service is Transfer Protocol. It use computer to move the file from one computer to another on the internet by using Hypertext Transfer protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  The fourth internet services is Chat room. It allows people to communicate with others like Facebook and Friendster. Next, VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) or Internet Telephony is the one of internet services. People uses it to speak with others like Skype and Facebook Video Call. The last one is News Groups which is an electronic forum that conduct discussion about specific topic. 

We also learnt about Uniform Resource Locators (URL). This is an address of web site. There are four part of URL. There are transfer protocol, domain name, the path name and the name of the file. Domain name is the name of the organization or people while the path name is the website name. That's all for this topic and this topic is not difficult to understood.
