Introduction
The Internet is an increasingly important part of everyday life for people around the
world. But if you've never used the Internet before, all of this new information might feel
a bit confusing at first.

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.

WHAT IS THE WEB?

The World Wide Web—usually called the Web for short—is a collection of different
websites you can access through the Internet. A website is made up of related text,
images, and other resources. Websites can resemble other forms of media—like
newspaper articles or television programs—or they can be interactive in a way that's
unique to computers.

The purpose of a website can be almost anything: a news platform, an advertisement,

an online library, a forum for sharing images, or an educational site like us!

Once you are connected to the Internet, you can access and view websites using a type
of application called a web browser. Just keep in mind that the web browser itself is not
the Internet; it only displays websites that are stored on the Internet.

HOW DOES THE INTERNET WORK?

At this point you may be wondering, how does the Internet work? The exact answer is
pretty complicated and would take a while to explain. Instead, let's look at some of the
most important things you should know.

It's important to realize that the Internet is a global network of physical cables, which can
include copper telephone wires, TV cables, and fiber optic cables. Even wireless
connections like Wi-Fi and 3G/4G rely on these physical cables to access the Internet.

When you visit a website, your computer sends a request over these wires to a server. A
server is where websites are stored, and it works a lot like your computer's hard drive.
Once the request arrives, the server retrieves the website and sends the correct data
back to your computer. What's amazing is that this all happens in just a few seconds!

more about how the Internet functions.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO ON THE INTERNET

One of the best features of the Internet is the ability to communicate almost instantly with
anyone in the world. Email is one of the oldest and most universal ways to communicate
and share information on the Internet, and billions of people use it. Social media allows
people to connect in a variety of ways and build communities online.
There are many other things you can do on the Internet. There are thousands of ways to
keep up with news or shop for anything online. You can pay your bills, manage your
bank accounts, meet new people, watch TV, or learn new skills. You can learn or do
almost anything online.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ONLINE?

There's almost no limit to what you can do online. The Internet makes it possible to
quickly find information, communicate with people around the world, manage your
finances, shop from home, listen to music, watch videos, and much, much more. Let's
take a look at some of the ways the Internet is most commonly used today.

FINDING INFORMATION ONLINE

With billions of websites online today, there is a lot of information on the Internet. Search
engines make this information easier to find. All you have to do is type one or more
keywords, and the search engine will look for relevant websites.

For example, let's say you're looking for a new pair of shoes. You could use a search
engine to learn about different types of shoes, get directions to a nearby shoe store, or
even find out where to buy them online!

There are many different search engines you can use, but some of the most popular
include Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.

Email
Short for electronic mail, email is a way to send and receive messages across the
Internet. Almost everyone who uses the Internet has their own email account, usually
called an email address. This is because you'll need an email address to do just about
anything online, from online banking to creating a Facebook account.

Social networking

Social networking websites are another way to connect and share with your family and
friends online. Rather than sharing with just a few people over email, social networks
make it easier to connect and share with many people at the same time. Facebook is
the world's largest social networking site, with more than 1 billion users worldwide.

Quarter 1, Module 1 Page 7 of 18
Chat and instant messaging

Chat and instant messaging (IM) are short messages sent and read in real time, allowing
you to converse more quickly and easily than email. These are generally used when
both (or all) people are online, so your message can be read immediately. By
comparison, emails won't be seen until recipients check their inboxes.

Examples of instant messaging applications include Yahoo Messenger and Google

Hangouts. Some sites, like Gmail and Facebook, even allow you to chat within your web
browser.

Online media

There are many sites that allow you to watch videos and listen to music. For example,
you can watch millions of videos on YouTube or listen to Internet radio on Pandora.
Other services, like Netflix and Hulu, allow you to watch movies and TV shows. And if
have a set-top

streaming box, you can even watch them directly on your

 television instead of a computer screen.

Everyday tasks

You can also use the Internet to complete many everyday tasks and errands. For
example, you can manage your bank account, pay your bills, and shop for just about
anything. The main advantage here is convenience. Rather than going from place to
place, you can do all of these tasks at home!

HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE INTERNET?

Once you've set up your computer, you may want to purchase home Internet access so
you can send and receive email, browse the Web, stream videos, and more. You may
even want to set up a home wireless network, commonly known as Wi-Fi, so you can
connect multiple devices to the Internet at the same time.

TYPES OF INTERNET SERVICE

The type of Internet service you choose will largely depend on which Internet service
providers (ISPs) serve your area, along with the types of service they offer.

Here are some common types of Internet service.

Dial-up: This is generally the slowest type of Internet connection, and you should
probably avoid it unless it is the only service available in your area. Dial-up Internet uses
your phone line, so unless you have multiple phone lines you will not be able to use your
landline and the Internet at the same time.

DSL: DSL service uses a broadband connection, which makes it much faster than dial
up. DSL connects to the Internet via a phone line but does not require you to have a
landline at home. And unlike dial-up, you'll be able to use the Internet and your phone
line at the same time.

Cable: Cable service connects to the Internet via cable TV, although you do not
necessarily need to have cable TV in order to get it. It uses a broadband connection and
can be faster than both dial-up and DSL service; however, it is only available where
cable TV is available.

Satellite: A satellite connection uses broadband but does not require cable or phone
lines; it connects to the Internet through satellites orbiting the Earth. As a result, it can be
used almost anywhere in the world, but the connection may be affected by weather
patterns. Satellite connections are also usually slower than DSL or cable.

3G and 4G: 3G and 4G service is most commonly used with mobile phones, and it
connects wirelessly through your ISP's network. However, these types of connections
aren't always as fast as DSL or cable. They will also limit the amount of data you can
use each month, which isn't the case with most broadband plans.

CHOOSING AN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER

Now that you know about the different types of Internet service, you can do some
research to find out what ISPs are available in your area. If you're having trouble getting
started, we recommend talking to friends, family members, and neighbors about the
ISPs they use. This will usually give you a good idea of the types of Internet service
available in your area.

Most ISPs offer several tiers of service with different Internet speeds, usually measured
in Mbps (short for megabits per second). If you mainly want to use the Internet for email
and social networking, a slower connection (around 2 to 5 Mbps) might be all you need.
However, if you want to download music or stream videos, you'll want a faster
connection (at least 5 Mbps or higher).

Self-Learning Module in COMPUTER 10

Quarter 1, Module 1 Page 10 of 18

You'll also want to consider the cost of the service, including installation charges and
monthly fees. Generally speaking, the faster the connection, the more expensive it will
be per month.

Although dial-up has traditionally been the least expensive option, many ISPs have
raised dial-up prices to be the same as broadband. This is intended to encourage people
to switch to broadband. We do not recommend dial-up Internet unless it's your only
option.

HARDWARE NEEDED

MODEM

Once you have your computer, you really don't need much additional hardware to
connect to the Internet. The primary piece of hardware you need is a modem.

The type of Internet access you choose will determine the type of modem you need.
Dial-up access uses a telephone modem, DSL service uses a DSL modem, cable
access uses a cable modem, and satellite service uses a satellite adapter. Your ISP
may give you a modem—often for a fee—when you sign a contract, which helps ensure
that you have the right type of modem. However, if you would prefer to shop for a better
or less expensive modem, you can choose to buy one separately.

ROUTER
Self-Learning Module in COMPUTER 10
Quarter 1, Module 1 Page 11 of 18

A router is a hardware device that allows you to connect several computers and other
devices to a single Internet connection, which is known as a home network. Many
routers are wireless, which allows you to create a home wireless network, commonly
known as a Wi-Fi network.

You don't necessarily need to buy a router to connect to the Internet. It's possible to
connect your computer directly to your modem using an Ethernet cable. Also, many
modems include a built-in router, so you have the option of creating a Wi-Fi network
without buying extra hardware.

UNDERSTANDING THE CLOUD

What is the cloud?

You may have heard people using terms like the cloud, cloud computing, or cloud
storage. But what exactly is the cloud?

Simply put, the cloud is the Internet—more specifically, it's all of the things you can
access remotely over the Internet. When something is in the cloud, it means it's stored
on Internet servers instead of your computer's hard drive.

Watch the video to learn more about the cloud.

https://youtu.be/4OO77HFcCUs

Why use the cloud?

Some of the main reasons to use the cloud are convenience and reliability. For example,
if you've ever used a web-based email service, such as Gmail or Yahoo! Mail, you've
already used the cloud. All of the emails in a web-based service are stored on servers
rather than on your computer's hard drive. This means you can access your email from
any computer with an Internet connection. It also means you'll be able to recover your
emails if something happens to your computer.
Self-Learning Module in COMPUTER 10
Quarter 1, Module 1 Page 12 of 18

Let's look at some of the most common reasons to use the cloud.

File storage: You can store all types of information in the cloud, including files and
email. This means you can access these things from any computer or mobile device
with an Internet connection, not just your home computer. Dropbox and Google Drive
are some of the most popular cloud-based storage services.

File sharing: The cloud makes it easy to share files with several people at the same
time. For example, you could upload several photos to a cloud-based photo service like
Flickr or iCloud Photos, then quickly share them with friends and family.

Backing up data: You can also use the cloud to protect your files. There are apps such
as Carbonite that automatically back up your data to the cloud. This way, if your
computer ever is lost, stolen, or damaged, you'll still be able to recover these files from
the cloud.
