Answers - Introduction To Internet & HTML
1. What is Internet?
The Internet is a global network that connects millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks
WWW (World Wide Web) is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet using web browsers.
Internet is a public network accessible by everyone. Extranet is a private network that allows access to certain external
A dial-up connection is an Internet connection established using a modem and a standard telephone line.
Types include Dial-up, Broadband, DSL, Cable, Satellite, Fiber-optic, and Wireless connections.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite
(TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public,
- Easy access to information: Users can access information on any topic from around the world instantly.
- Communication: Email, video conferencing, instant messaging, and social media allow real-time communication.
- Entertainment: Users can watch movies, listen to music, and play games online.
1. Dial-up: An older and slower method using a telephone line and modem.
2. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): Uses telephone lines but allows for higher speeds and simultaneous phone usage.
3. Cable Internet: Delivered through cable television lines. Faster than DSL and suitable for heavy internet usage.
4. Fiber-optic: The fastest type of connection, using light signals through fiber cables for very high-speed internet.
5. Satellite: Used in remote areas, data is transmitted via satellite. It has higher latency.
7. Mobile Networks (3G/4G/5G): Internet access via cellular networks, ideal for mobile and on-the-go users.
The Internet works through a system of protocols that define how data is transferred between devices. Here's a
simplified explanation:
- When a user sends a request (e.g., opening a website), the device sends data packets using the TCP/IP protocol.
- These packets travel across routers and servers across the globe to reach the destination server.
- The destination server processes the request and sends data packets back to the user's device.
- The user's device reassembles these packets to display the content (e.g., a webpage).
DNS (Domain Name System) helps translate domain names into IP addresses to locate servers on the internet.
Broadband is a high-speed internet connection that is always on and faster than traditional dial-up access. It allows for
- DSL: Uses telephone lines for internet access without interrupting voice services.
- Cable Broadband: Delivered via coaxial cable TV lines. Speeds depend on user traffic.
- Fiber-optic Broadband: Uses light to transmit data, offering the fastest speeds and reliability.
- Satellite Broadband: Useful in rural areas, uses satellite signals but can be slower due to latency.
- Wireless Broadband: Includes mobile internet and fixed wireless. Accessible via cell towers or radio signals.
Internet, Intranet, and Extranet are types of networks used for different scopes and purposes:
- Internet: A global, public network accessible to everyone. Used for browsing, email, social media, etc.
- Intranet: A private network within an organization. Used to share information and resources internally.
- Extranet: An extension of an intranet that allows controlled access to outsiders like partners or clients.
