users with authorization.

4. What do you mean by dial-up connection?

A dial-up connection is an Internet connection established using a modem and a standard telephone line.

5. List out types of internet connection.

Types include Dial-up, Broadband, DSL, Cable, Satellite, Fiber-optic, and Wireless connections.

Long Question Answers:

1. What is Internet? What are the advantages of internet?

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,

academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope.

Advantages of the Internet:

- 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.

- E-commerce: Businesses can sell and market their products globally.


Answers - Introduction to Internet & HTML

- Online education: Offers access to courses, tutorials, and learning materials.

- Entertainment: Users can watch movies, listen to music, and play games online.

- Online banking and transactions: Easy and secure financial transactions.

2. Explain various types of internet connection.

There are several types of Internet connections available:

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.

6. Wireless (Wi-Fi): Provides mobility and convenience using radio signals.

7. Mobile Networks (3G/4G/5G): Internet access via cellular networks, ideal for mobile and on-the-go users.

3. Discuss how internet works.

The Internet works through a system of protocols that define how data is transferred between devices. Here's a

simplified explanation:

- Devices connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

- 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.

4. What is Broadband Connection? Explain its types.

Broadband is a high-speed internet connection that is always on and faster than traditional dial-up access. It allows for

simultaneous use of telephone and internet services.


Answers - Introduction to Internet & HTML

Types of Broadband Connections:

- 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.

5. Differentiate between: Internet, Intranet and Extranet.

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.

Comparison:

- Accessibility: Internet (Public), Intranet (Private), Extranet (Restricted External Access)

- Users: Internet (Anyone), Intranet (Employees), Extranet (Authorized External Users)

- Purpose: Internet (General Info Sharing), Intranet (Internal Collaboration), Extranet (Partner Collaboration)
