internet.
Information via internet, including, but not limited to:
53
File Transfer Protocol – is a method for
transferring files from one computer on the Internet to
another. To established a FTP connection, an internet user
must access (logon to) the server on which the information
resides, then find and download the files.
World Wide Web Servers – takes access a step further,
providing a hypertext interface. It allows users to view
formatted documents on their screen directly, instead of
navigating hierarchical menus. Users can access other text,
graphic, sound, and movie resources by pointing and clicking
highlighted words or pictures, and can download the
information being accessed.

•1962 – computer research program Led by John
Licklider (MIT)

1969 – Interface Message Processor (IMP)
4 computers networks installed
•UCLA
•Stanford Research Institute
•University of California Santa Barbara
•University of Utah
57
•1972
•ARPANET went ‘public’
•ICCC - First International Conference on Computers and
Communication (Washington DC)
•Linking computers from 40 different locations together
•First program for person-to-person communication (e-mail)
•1973
•75% of all ARPANET traffic is e-mail
•First international connection (University College of
London) Web Server
58
•1974 – TCP/IP
•Each network should work on its own
•Within each network there would be a ‘gateway’
•Gateway would be a large computer (large
volume of traffic) to transmit and redirect any
packages. Servers
•Packages would be routed through the fastest
available route
•crucial stage in networking development
•Large mainframe computers
•Several years of modification and redesign
59
•1974/1982
•Very chaotic
•Different competing techniques and protocols
•ARPANET is still the backbone

Four basic components of the Internet
61
An Internet service provider (ISP) is a company that provides access to
the Internet. Access ISPs connect customers to the Internet using
copper, wireless or fiber connections.
The current standard "IPV4" is usually separated into 4 tuples or bytes, such
as 161.184.138.36, as a "dotted decimal". This means is that if we are to
navigate the Internet to this IP address for some reason, then the network will
send out "packets" with that number in them, and a process called "routing"
will send those packets to that Internet address.
A domain name is an identification label that defines a realm of
administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet. Domain names
are hostnames that identify Internet Protocol (IP) resources such as web
sites. Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain
Name System (DNS).
.com – commercial organization
.edu – educational organizations
.gov – government organization
.mil – military organization
.net – network service providers or network
resources
.org – other organizations not falling to the
previous ones.
68
.ph – Philippines
.fr – France
.de – Germany
.it – Lithuania
.au – Australia
.mx – Mexico

1989 – WWW concept
by Tim Berners-Lee
72
The World Wide Web (WWW) is a universally-accepted
standard for sharing documents and information on the
internet. It is a universe of network-accessible information
which began in 1989. In addition to text, World Wide Web
documents can contain a variety of different media types
including graphics, sound, and animation, and can access
other programs such as databases and other executable
software.
73
The World Wide Web consists of:
•The pages of information accessed (Web Pages)
•The servers on which the pages of information reside (Web
Servers)
•The client software you use to access the pages (Web
Browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla, netscape navigator,
Chrome, Opera)
•The network between your computer and the Web server/s
with which you interact. (Providers)
74
Web Pages – The World Wide Web consists of
information organized into thousands of pages stored in
computers physically located throughout the world.
Corporations, institutions, and even individuals are making
their information available on-line via the World Wide Web.
The pages allow you to do a range of things, from an
interactive frog dissection to on-line shopping.
77
Server Name – is the domain name of the server you are
contacting.
Pathname – gives the path to the specific file on the World Wide
Web.
78
A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing
information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is
identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image,
video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to
easily navigate their browsers to related resources.
The major web browsers are Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google
Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera.
E-mail
Most used application of the Internet
Uses series of protocols for transferring messages with text
and attachments from one Internet user to another
Instant Messaging
Displays words typed on a computer almost instantly, and
recipients can respond immediately in the same
wayAdvanced IM systems include voice/video chat
80
E-mail Address is made up of:
e.g. [email protected]
81
Identify Web pages that match queries based on one or
more techniques
Keyword indexes, page ranking
82
Enable Internet users to communicate with one
another, although not in real time
83
Enables music, video, and other large files to be
sent to users in chunks so that the file can play
uninterrupted
84
Online Social Networks
Services that support communication among networks of
friends, peers
Blogs
Personal Web page of chronological entries
Podcasting
Audio presentation stored as an audio file and available
for download from Web
Wikis
Allows user to easily add and edit content on Web page
