    Test II
    Instruction: Answer the following:
    1. In your day to day life, based on your experience to what specific site you always visit?
    Why and what was the purpose? (have screenshot for evidences)20 points.

    In my daily life as a college student, I always tend to visit Facebook for information
    and updates regarding our online classes especially now that we are in a new teaching-
    learning system. We, all, are aware of the existence of this COVID-19 virus that had been
    causing us dilemma for almost 3 years from now and that a limited face-to-face interaction
    is prohibited to avoid further contamination. And with that, students from elementary up to
    the college level are required to utilize online learning or blended learning as the new
    means of education. Hence, we are obliged to always be active in our Facebook to catch
    up with the lessons and activities from time to time since Facebook is currently the most
    used communication site and almost all of students in Calbayog City has their very own
    Facebook account. Why? For me, it is because Facebook is very much convenient to use
    with a lot of beneficial features it offers and using it doesn’t require strong internet
    connectivity. I also utilize Facebook not only for educational purposes but I also as a
    platform for communicating with my peers, family, loved-ones and other people
    concerning my life for the same reason stated above.

    2. From the video/instructional materials uploaded what is the difference of internet and the
    web.10 points.

    From the video and instructional materials uploaded, the internet and the web or
    the world wide web (www) indeed differs in variety of ways. The major difference of the two is
    that the world wide web (www) is a subset of the internet. Wherein, the internet is a global network
    of networks which is a group of interconnected computer systems where communication and
    exchange of data takes place. The internet is simply the way computers connect to each other to
    share information. The web, on the other hand, is where you can access those informations using
    ‘http’ protocols. It is one of the services which the internet supports. The web is essentially a
    virtual space where all those informations are stored while the internet keeps them connected.
    The web addresses “what are you specifically searching for” from the numerous information that
    can be found in the internet and organizes them through ‘hyperlinks’. It is like the web is guiding
    you in the ‘City of Informations’, with tons of Buildings of Knowledge, as to where destination or
    what specific Building of Knowledge would you like to be at wherein every Building contains
    different contents or informations from one another.
