3. What are the other applications of internet? (Explain your answer in 2 to 3 sentences.)
The word Internet evolved from the terms Inter for international and Net for
network. It refers to a global collection of interconnected networks - a network of
networks. Also known as WWW(World Wide Web).

TCP/IP was later adopted as the standard. At about the same time, the Domain
Naming System (DNS) was introduced. This simplified Internet addressing by
associating IP addresses with easy to remember names.
ARPANet folded up in 1990 and NFSnet took over administering the net. While
many original networks (UUCP, Bitnet, Usenet) closed down with ARPANet, many new
networks joined NFSnet.
This fast growing web of networking eventually became the Internet of the ’90s.
In response to those who wanted to use the Internet for commercial purposes, the
Commercial Internet Exchange (CIX) was born.

As of December 2005, the Internet had more than 1 billion users worldwide.
This number is projected to balloon to 1.8 billion by 2010.
There is no question that the number and variety of people logging on is growing
daily. The "virtual community" is increasingly representative of the demographics of the
"real" community, as Internet access becomes more common in businesses, schools,
libraries and homes.
Treat it in two parts: network 140.186 and host 81.6. The PC with IP number
140.186.81.6 and another with IP number 140.186.2.3 belong to the same
network because they have the same network number.
For example, sei.dost.gov.ph is the Internet address for the SEI division of
the Department of Science and Technology (sei.dost) of the Philippines (gov.ph).
Note the last three letters “gov” at the far right of the address. These letters,
called zones, tell what kind of organization owns that IP address.

The Internet has much to offer in terms of information on almost any subject
imaginable and interaction with people and organizations from all over the world.
A Web browser is an application that allows one to see the contents of the
WWW. Examples of which are Netscape Navigator, Mozilla’s Firefox and
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.
To start Mozilla, click on the Mozilla icon on the panel or launch the
application from the menu system:

□ The Help button contains the Mozilla help files arranged in user-friendly Web
page style and format.
This is the area where the contents of a Web page are rendered and
displayed. This display area can be made full screen by either selecting:
Browse multiple Web sites within one browser so you don’t open several
Mozilla windows.
If you open different Web pages using this navigation tab feature, they will
all be displayed under the same window. You can then use the tab bar to select
between each tab screen.
A. Using a Portal
A portal is a Web site that acts as a gateway for providing information as well
as links to other sites providing information about your topic.

Portals are a useful starting place for new Web users who do not know
where and how to go and look for information about a specific topic or subject.
Major ISPs provide portal-
like information services for their
subscribers. The subject areas
covered by these ISP portals are
typically subjects of general
interest like shopping, local and
foreign news, entertainment etc.

History of Internet
The Internet had its roots during the 1 960's as a project of the United States

OFAD 75- Internet Research for Business
The World Wide Web (WWW) allows computer users to position and view multimedia-
based documents (i.e., documents with text, graphics, animations, audios and/or
videos) on almost any subject. Even though the Internet was developed more than three
decades ago, the introduction of the WWW was a relatively recent event. In 1990, Tim
Berners-Lee of CERN (the European
Laboratory for Particle Physics) developed the World Wide Web and several
communication protocols that form the backbone of the WWW. The Internet and the
World Wide Web will surely be listed among the most significant and profound creations
of humankind. In the past, most computer applications ran on stand-alone computers.
(i.e., computers that were not connected to one another) Today’s applications can be
written to communicate among the world’s hundreds of millions of computers. The
Internet makes our work easier by mixing computing and communications technologies.

The style attribute is used to specify the styling of an element, like color, font, size etc.

OFAD 75- Internet Research for Business
Images in HTML have a set of size attributes, which specifies the width and height of the image:
Example:
The alt attribute specifies an alternative text to be used, when an image cannot be displayed.
The value of the attribute can be read by screen readers. This way, someone "listening" to the
webpage, e.g. a blind person, can "hear" the element.
Example:
Style attribute
<tagname style=”property:value;”> Use the style attribute for styling HTML
elements
<tagname style=”background:value;”> Use for background color
<tagname style=”color:value;”> Use for font color
<tagname style=”font-family:value;”> Use for font face
<tagname style=”font-size:value;”> Use for font size
<tagname style=”font-align:value;”> Use for text alignment
