Network Devices

1. Switch
o A device that connects multiple computers or devices in a network.
o Helps them communicate with each other by sending data to the right device.
o Used in local networks (like in homes or offices).
2. Router
o Connects different networks together (e.g., your home network to the internet).
o Directs data to the correct destination outside your local network.
3. Modem
o Converts internet signals from your service provider into a format your router or
devices can use.
o Without it, you wouldn’t get internet at home.
4. Network Interface Card (NIC)/Network Adapter
o A hardware component in your device that allows it to connect to a network
(wired or wireless).
o Acts as the bridge between your computer and the network.

Key Web Technology Concepts

1. World Wide Web (WWW)


o A system of web pages you access via the internet.
o Think of it as the “library” and the internet as the “roads” to reach it.
2. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
o The code used to create web pages.
o Defines the structure (e.g., headings, paragraphs, images) of a webpage.
3. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
o A set of rules for how data is transferred between your web browser and a web
server.
o It ensures you can view web pages.
4. Hyperlinks
o Clickable links that connect one webpage to another or to specific content.
o They make navigation on the web easy.
5. Web Server
o A computer that stores websites and sends them to your browser when requested.
o It’s like a librarian fetching a book when you ask for it.
6. Web Page
o A single document on the web, like a page in a book.
o Can have text, images, videos, and links.
7. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
o A method to transfer files (like documents, images) between computers over the
internet.
o Used when uploading or downloading files.
8. Web Browser
o The software you use to access and view websites (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).
o Acts as your “window” to the World Wide Web.
9. Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
o The web address of a webpage (e.g., https://www.google.com).
o It’s like a house address for websites.
10. Upload and Download
o Upload: Sending files from your computer to the internet (e.g., posting a photo).
o Download: Copying files from the internet to your computer (e.g., saving a
document).
11. Email
o A way to send and receive digital messages over the internet.
o Uses protocols like SMTP (to send) and IMAP/POP3 (to receive).

Interrelationship Among Concepts

These concepts work together to allow us to use the web:

 Web pages (created with HTML) are stored on web servers and accessed via URLs.
 Your web browser uses HTTP to communicate with the server and load the page.
 Hyperlinks on the page let you navigate between web pages.
 To transfer files, you might use FTP, and for communication, email is essential.
 Uploading and downloading are key actions when interacting with the web.
