Section C
20. Digital unite refers to a society where everyone would be skilled and equipped to take
advantages of various ICT services. Everyone would be able to access the Internet, even in
rural and remote areas. People will be educated enough to utilise technology.
The gap between the digital divide and the digital unite must be covered, using the
following measure:
i. For making this possible, both the people and the governments should work together.
People should use such tools to educate themselves and not feel hesitant about learning
and using new technologies.
ii. Governments should work on providing basic education and basic infrastructure for
using such technologies to all the people, so that maximum people can get the benefits
of technology.
21. E-governance has following negative impacts:
i. Lack of computerization in remote areas is a barrier in providing services to people.
ii. As the system become more mechanised, loss of interaction has increased among
people.
iii. Risk of data theft and leakage always exists.
22. Internal or Embedded Style Sheet: The internal or embedded style sheet is the one that
we define in the same HTML page in which we want to use the styles. The internal style
sheet is used when we want to define the styles for a single web page. In the case of this
style sheet, the style rules are mentioned in the header section of the HTML page. The
<STYLE></STYLE> tags are used to define the styles and contain the styles.
Syntax of the Internal Style Sheet:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> ... </TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE = "text/css">
{
Style rules ...
...............
...............
}
</HEAD>
<BODY>
HTML tags and content
</BODY>
</HTML>

External Style Sheet: Instead of defining the style rules in the same HTML page. We can
even define all the style rules in a separate style file and can link this file to web page(s).
This external style sheet will be saved as a separate text style sheet file with the extension
.css. We can define all the style rules in this style sheet file, and link this to any HTML
document. The <LINK> tag is used to link an external .css file into an HTML page.
Syntax of the External Style Sheet:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> ... </TITLE>
<LINK TYPE = "text/css" HREF = "filename">

The <LINK> tag includes an external .css file in an HTML page. One common CSS file
can be linked to different web pages using the same syntax.
OR
The advantages of CSS are as follows:
i. CSS Saves Time to Develop Web Pages: CSS allows us to specify the formatting
styles for different HTML tags only once. These styles will be applied to all the tags of
a single web page or same style sheets can even be linked to several web pages. Thus,
CSS helps in saving a lot of time as the web developers do not need to write the same
 formatting code again and again. They can make a style sheet once and can link it to as
many web pages as they want.
ii. CSS Uses Less Bandwidth: CSS makes HTML web pages lighter as styles are
mentioned in separate files, and one file can be linked to many web pages. Thus, CSS
helps in reducing the bandwidth usage.
iii. CSS Makes Downloading the Web Pages/ Websites Faster: Since, CSS result in
specifying or writing the smaller code for HTML pages, so lighter web pages/websites
download faster than the heavier ones.
23. The different types of intellectual property rights are as follows:
i. Patent: It is a legal document that gives the inventor sole rights to make, sell or use an
invention. A person, a group of persons, an organisation or a company can get their
invention covered under a patent to protect it from unauthorised use.
ii. Trademark: A logo or symbol that is printed on a business item to make it exclusive is
known as a trademark. A trademark is valid for 10 years and can be renewed after that.
iii. Copyright: It is a right that is granted by law to the creator or inventor for his or her
original work. The rights concerning a copy of any product are reserved by the creator
or the company that has published the work. Copyright covers literary and artistic
works such as books, plays, articles, music compositions and much more.
