What is the Internet?

The Internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic


devices. With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information,
communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more.
You can do all of this by connecting a computer to the Internet, which is also
called going online. When someone says a computer is online, it's just another
way of saying it's connected to the Internet.

The importance of ICT & Internet is quite an evidence from the educational
perspective. Though the chalkboard, textbooks, radio/television, and film have
been used for educational purposes over the years, none has quite impacted the
educational process like the computer. The main purpose of ICT consists just in
the development of human mental resources, which allow people to both
successfully apply the existing knowledge and produce new knowledge. With the
rapid growth of the internet, many educational institutions began to use the
internet as a new medium to assist the teaching, research, and many activities.
Using the internet in teaching and research makes the communication between
the students and the teacher more convenient and interesting. Especially, using
the web in teaching and research makes it available for the students who prefer
or require learning outside the classroom to study at their convenient time and
space. The web has already been one of the most popular media for delivering of
the course information. Furthermore, because of the attractive characteristics of
the internet, some Engineering level teachers are trying to use the web to assist in
interactive teaching, research and learning in recent years. The use of the internet
for interactive teaching and learning is relatively recent. The first materials
appeared in the early 1990s. The impact, however, has been considerable, mainly
because the technology has advantages over the previous generations of
computers.
