 What is Internet ?
• Internet is a network of networks which • It is popularly called the Net.
consists of inter-connected networks.
• It uses TCP/IP protocols for communication.
• It is a worldwide network of computers that
uses common communications standards
(protocols) and interfaces to provide the
physical backbone for a number of interesting
applications.
• All computers which have an access to
internet, are connected with each other either
through cables or satellite.
• A network is a collection of computers that
are connected to each other with the help of
cables or satellites to share information
around the world.

architecture of the internet.
• IP (Internet Protocol) is responsible for sending
the Packets to the right address by assigning
them sequence number.
 History of Internet
• In 1957, the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist • In 1971, more nodes joined the network.
Republics) launched Sputnik (the first
artificial satellite). • In 1974, data was transmitted more efficiently
with the development of TCP then later on IP
• In 1969, the Advanced Research Project technology was developed.
Agency (ARPA) designed a network of four
computers to exchange and share their data. • In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee developed the
WWW (World Wide Web).
• This network was called ARPANET (Advanced
Research Project Agency Network).
• The Internet grew in leaps and bounds during
1970s.
• Earlier, the internet was used by engineers, scientists, and computer experts for research purpose.
Gradually, the network was made accessible to private agencies and general public.
• As of 2011, there are approximately 65 million internet users in India alone.
• 1.3 billion users around the world. And now it is even more.
• In India, internet services started on 15 th August 1995 through a government owned company
VSNL (Vides Sanchar Nigam Limited).

How does Internet Work ?
• There are two approaches to understand the working of internet.

Approach1
• In this approach, Clients and
Client- Servers communicate over a
Server network on a separate hardware.

• These packets are sent independently
of each other to the local ISPs.
• The packets travel through multiple
levels of networks before reaching the
destination.
Who Governs the Internet?
• Internet Council for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN): It coordinates
the unique domain extensions across the globe.
• Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): It is a large and open International
Community of network designers, operators and researchers concerned with the
evolution of Architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
• Internet Architecture Board (IAB): It judges appeal when someone complains
that the IESG has failed.
• World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): It develops standards to ensure the long
term growth of the web.
 Techniques to Connect with Internet
There are two modes of connecting to the internet:
Wired Broadband
1. Dial-Up Connection
2. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
3. Internet via Cable

Wireless Broadband
1. Internet through Satellite
2. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)
3. Wi Max
Satellite

Internet via cable Wi Max

Advantages of Internet

• Education
• Business
• Social Networking
• Health And Fitness
• Instant Messaging
• News And Information
Disadvantages of Internet

• Theft of Personal Information

• Cyber Terrorism
• Spamming
• Virus Threat
• Social Isolation, Obesity, Depression
• Addiction to Internet
Services Available on Internet

• Information Retrieval
• Electronic Mail
• Chat
• Video Conferencing
• E-Learning
• Internet Banking
• News Groups
• Usenet
• E-Groups (Electronic Group)
• Blog
• E-Reservation
• Telnet
Conclusion
 Every new technology comes with both positive and negative effects, and it is up to us as a
society to decide if the positives outweigh the negatives.

 The internet has had many impacts on education, including making the possibility of a fully
accredited online degree possible.

 It has provided students with the makings for both their success and their demise with
online and hybrid classes. The biggest impact though, though, has been a positive one, and
it outweighs all the negative ones we have discussed.

 That impact is choice. The internet has allowed students to pick their path from more than
the two options of old. Allowing students to choose the education path that is right for them
has been an essential change in our society.

 Because of this we must say that the overall impact of the internet on our social lives has
also been positive.
