THE INTERNET: HISTORY

• The Internet has its roots in a networking
project started by an agency of the U.S.
Department of Defense. The goal was to build
a network that
• allowed scientists at different locations to share
information and work together on military and
scientific projects and
• could function even if part of the network were
disabled or destroyed by a disaster such as a
nuclear attack.

BANDWIDTH
• Bandwidth describes the maximum data transfer
rate of a network or Internet connection. It
measures how much data can be sent over a
specific connection in a given amount of time.
• For example, a gigabit Ethernet connection has a
bandwidth of 1,000 Mbps

Access Providers
• An access provider is a business that provides
individuals and organizations access to the Internet
free or for a fee. For example, some Wi-Fi networks
provide free access while others charge a per use fee.

national access provider.
• An online service provider(OSP) has many members-
only features such as instant messaging or their own
customized version of a Web browser.
• A wireless Internet service provider, is a company
that provides wireless Internet access to computers
and mobile devices, such as smart phones and
portable media players with built-in wireless capability
(such as Wi-Fi) or to computers using wireless

Connecting to the Internet

Many home and small business users connect to
the Internet via high-speed broadband Internet
service.
1. Cable Internet service
2. DSL
3. Fiber to the Premises
4. Fixed wireless
5. Cellular radio network
6. Satellite Internet service

COMP111L

• Cable Internet service provides
high-speed Internet access
through the cable television
network via a cable modem.
• DSL(digital subscriber line)
provides high-speed Internet
connections using regular
telephone lines.
• Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) uses
fiber-optic cable to provide high-
speed Internet access to home
and business users

COMP111L

• Fixed wireless provides high-speed
Internet connections using a dish-
shaped antenna on your house or
business to communicate with a tower
location via radio signals. It uses radio
waves transmitted by a cell tower to
bring you your internet connection
• A cellular radio network offers high-
speed Internet connections to devices
with built-in compatible technology or
computers with wireless modems.
• Satellite Internet service provides
high-speed Internet connections via
satellite to a satellite dish that
communicates with a satellite modem.

• Some industry experts use the term Web 2.0 to
refer to Web sites that
• provide a means for users to share personal
information (such as social networking Web
sites),
• allow users to modify Web site content (such
as wikis, which are discussed later in this chapter),
and
• have application software built into the site for
visitors to use (such as e-mail and word
processing programs).
COMP111L

• A Web browser, or
browser, is application
software that allows
users to access and
view Web pages or
access Web 2.0

URL(Uniform Resource Locator) or Web address.
• A Web address consists of a protocol, domain name,
and sometimes the path to a specific Web page or
location on a Web page.

COMP111L
Searching the Web

• A primary reason that
people use the Web is to
