still unaware of what it is and how it's works.

Hello Friends I am Jerry Cullen and I am going

simple and practical ways. I am not going to tell

things on your own.

Internet is a big topic it's not possible to explain

this Part 1 series. You can also email me at
jerrycullenofficial@gmail.com for any other
queries.

And special thanks to my sister for helping me


in this E-book.
What is Internet?
We all try to understand the world we live in,
which show us how to move forward in life. In
the same way the INTERNET itself is a different
world in a digitalized form which is invisible to
many people. There are both pros and cons of
Internet and thats why we have to understand it
to choose wisely. In the real world every person
has his own identity, but in the digital world a
person can have multiple identities and it is also
possible that some of them are fake. Some people
use Internet to learn something, other use it to
increase their business & explore their
surrounding, but there are some frauds who use
it to trick others.

Believe it or not but it is a fact that internet is


becoming an essential part of our life and the
way we are using it today its totally possible that
in future it will become necessary for a newborns
too.
How does the Internet work? Just like a spider
web, Internet is like a web connecting the whole
world, that is why we call it digital because it is
visible on the computer but not in reality. Many
people dont know that apart from cloud
networks, huge wire networks has been kept on
the sea surfaces to connect all the countries.
Basically internet service is free of cost in all
over the world, the charges you are giving for
internet it's just a maintenance charge which
you are paying to your local service providers.

All the countries are connected to each other via


internet. Now a day all the companies,
government services, private sectors even a small
business is also available on internet. So we can
easily access all the information about any thing
which is available on internet. The simple way
to get any information about any thing is from
Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing,
Yandex, CC Search, Swisscows, Duck duck go
etc
Search Engines
How Search Engine works? Search engines work
by crawling the web using bots called spiders.
These web crawlers effectively follow links from
page to page to find new content to add to the
search index. When you use a search engine,
relevant results are extracted from the index and
ranked using an algorithm.

Now a days Google search, known as one of the


most popular search engines across the world,
has its own mechanism of understanding when
an information is asked. Every day Google
search engine processes billions of queries using
it algorithm and tried to provide best possible
search results.
Here are few steps which will help to understand
how Google search engine works:

GOOGLE INFORMATION SOURCES


INCLUDE:

1) Web pages
2) User-submitted content such as Google My
Business and Maps user submissions
3) Book scanning
4) Public databases on the internet

Images, Videos, and many other sources Google


follows three basic steps to generate results from
web pages:

[Step 1 Crawling]
When anyone type something in the search bar
in the first place, it finds what pages exist on the
web. As there is no central registry of the
webpages on the internet, therefore it constantly
adds them to its list. Some pages are known by
the Google which are already crawled.
The crawler or spider takes note of all the
keywords, web pages, descriptions, etc to learn
your data search. This way the Google spider
goes to the already visited page which the user
has searched for. Google does not accept
payments to crawl a site or rank it higher.

[Step 2 Indexing]
After a page is discovered, Google understands
the data of the page. Google analyses the content
such as the videos, images, the catalogs, etc
embedded on the webpage. This process is called
Indexing. This information is then stored in the
Google index, a huge date base stored in
computers.

[Step 3 Ranking]
When the user searches something, the Google
then scans through the indexed pages to give the
best result. It gives attention to factors like
language, location, device, etc. With the same
search query restaurant near me, search results
for user in India will be different from the results
displayed in the USA. This is how the results
varies. It's ranks pages programmatically.

This is how the Google works to give the search


results after going through simple, yet complex
process.

I hope you understand that how search engine


works. So we can move forward now, after
getting some information about search engine
still many of you have a questions that "How can
we use this search engine?" Then the answer is
with the help of Browser.

Browser is an application which allows you to


access any website or information on internet.
There are many Browser in market like Opera,
Firefox, Internet Explore, UC browser, Chrome
etc. Here is some Browsers icon given below.
Using Chrome
Chrome is a common browser now a days
so we will proceed further with chrome browser.
It's available for both platform desktop and
mobile. First of all open the chrome browser,
this is how it's look like in desktop and mobile.

Desktop view Mobile view


Address bar is used for visiting perticular
website like "www.google.com" and Search
bar/box is used for searching anything on
internet like "resturant near me, foods, clothes,
appliances etc". If you don't know any website
link so just find it on search box typing their
name or similar word related to it.
Example: I searched "restaurants near me" it's
provide me all possible results for my search.

Google Drive
One of the many essential services Google
provide is Google Drive. This is very beneficial
for you to store your documents and images
safely for a long time.

Google gives 15 GB free storage to its account


holder, which you can use easily. If you requires
more space, you have to pay charges to Google in
monthly or yearly basis.

One great advantage of saving your data on the


drive is that you can access your data from
anywhere. You save your data on a Drive from a
device or desktop and for some reason that
device or desktop gets damaged, then you can
get your data from another device or desktop by
just login with your Google account.

You can upload any format of data like in jpg,


video, mp3, file, pdf, etc. And you also can share
your data with someone else by creating sharing
link. Now we will learn how to save our data in

page by typing on address bar
"www.google.com".
