0 Introduction
A computer network is a system of interconnected computers and peripheral
devices. For example, it may connect computers, printers, scanners and
cameras. Using hardware and software, these interconnected computing devices can
communicate with each other through defined rules of data communications. In a
network, computers can exchange and share information and resources. A computer
network may operate on wired connections or wireless connections. When two or
more networks are linked or connected and are able to communicate with one
another using suitable hardware and software, it is called an internet work.
Meanwhile, communications is about the transfer of information from a sender,
across a distance, to a receiver. Using electricity, radio waves or light, information
and data in the form of codes are transmitted through a physical medium such as
wire, cable, or even the atmosphere.Therefore, in order to make communications
possible from computers, across telephones and radios and back to computers and
other digital devices again, there must be a signal translator, which we call a
modem. The modem, which is short for modulator or demodulator, converts digital
signals into analog and back again into digital signals for information to move across
the telephone line.

3.0 Internet Technology and Services
3.1 VoIP
Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a methodology and group of
technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions
3
over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms
commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over
broadband (VoBB), broadband telephony, IP communications, and broadband
phone service.
The term Internet telephony specifically refers to the provisioning of
communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the
public Internet, rather than via thepublic switched telephone network (PSTN).
The steps and principles involved in originating VoIP telephone calls are similar
to traditional digital telephony and involve signaling, channel setup, digitization
of the analog voice signals, and encoding. Instead of being transmitted over a
circuit-switched network, however, the digital information is packetized, and
transmission occurs as IP packets over a packet-switched network. Such
transmission entails careful considerations about resource management different
from time-division multiplexing (TDM) networks.
3.2 BLOG
A blog (a truncation of the expression web log) is a discussion or
informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete
entries typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post
appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual,
occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently
"multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large
numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other
media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups and similar institutions
account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.
4.3 WLAN
A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices using
some wireless distribution method (typically spread-spectrum orOFDM radio),
and usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider Internet.
This gives users the ability to move around within a local coverage area and still
be connected to the network. Most modern WLANs are based on IEEE
802.11 standards, marketed under the Wi-Fi brand name.

WIMAX (Worldwide
Interoperability
for
Microwave Access)
is
a wireless communications standard designed to provide 30 to 40 megabit-persecond data rates, with the 2011 update providing up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed
stations. The name "WIMAX" was created by the WIMAX Forum, which was
formed in June 2001 to promote conformity and interoperability of the standard.
The forum describes WIMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the

5.0 Conclusion
The Native Computer Communications Network Project was a good
example of how a focus on creating a network of computers does not necessarily
ensure the interpersonal networking of the potential users of that technology. If the
people were not communicating with each other before, developing another method
of communication doesn't mean they'll start
