THE INTERNET

INTRODUCTION

The Internet has changed much in the two decades since it came into
existence. It was conceived in the era of time-sharing, but has survived into the
era of personal computers, client-server and peer-to-peer computing, and the
network computer.
The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like
nothing before. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer
set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities.
The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for
information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction
between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location.
The Internet represents one of the most successful examples of the benefits of
sustained investment and commitment to research and development of
information infrastructure. Beginning with the early research in packet switching,
the government, industry and academia have been partners in evolving and
deploying this exciting new technology.
On the internet today we can find different advantages and disadvantages for
the community, making it more important is knowing how to put a limit to his
frequent use. In the case of children requires the use of the internet is under the
professional supervision of an adult.

THE INTERNET

1. GENERALITIES
The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world
like nothing before. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and
computer set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities.
The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a
mechanism

for

information

dissemination,

and

medium

for

collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers

without regard for geographic location.
2. DEFINITION
We can define the Internet as a "network of
networks", that is a network not only
connects computers but interconnecting
computer networks together.
Internet serves as a link between smaller
networks and allows them to expand their
coverage to part of a "global network". This global network has the
feature

that

uses

common

language

that

ensures

the

intercommunication of the different participants; this common language

or protocol (a protocol is the language used by computers to share
resources) is known as TCP / IP.
One of the services most successful Internet has been the World Wide
Web (WWW or Web), to the point that is common confusion between the
two. The WWW is a set of protocols that allows, in a simple, remote
query hypertext files. This was a later development (1990) and uses
Internet as the transmission medium.
3. HISTORY

THE INTERNET

The history of the Internet begins with the development of electronic

computers in the 1950s. Initial concepts of packet networking originated
in several computer science laboratories in the United States, Great
Britain, and France. The US Department of Defense awarded contracts
as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the
development of the ARPANET (which would become the first network to
use the Internet Protocol.) The first message was sent over the
ARPANET from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's
laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second
network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
Access to the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 when the National
Science

Foundation (NSF)

funded

the Computer

Science

Network (CSNET). In 1982, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was

introduced as the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET. In the
early

1980s

the

supercomputing

NSF

centers

funded
at

the

several

establishment
universities,

for
and

national
provided

interconnectivity in 1986 with the NSFNET project, which also created

network access to the supercomputer sites in the United States from
research and education organizations.
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on
culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication
by electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
telephone calls, two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide
Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online
shopping sites.
The Internet's takeover of the global communication landscape was
almost instant in historical terms: it only communicated 1% of the
information flowing through two-way telecommunications networks in the
year 1993, already 51% by 2000, and more than 97% of the
telecommunicated information by 2007. Today the Internet continues to
grow, driven by ever greater amounts of online information, commerce,
entertainment, and social networking.
THE INTERNET

3.1. CREATORS OF THE INTERNET

In advance of the internet existed different characters who contributed to
its development, such as:
TIM BERNERS-LEE
Known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. Physical, Berners-Lee and his
team built the first Web browser in the world, World Wide Web, the first web
server and the HyperText Markup Language - HTML.
Berners-Lee founded and is the present director of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), a standards body that oversees the development of the web
as a whole.
MARC ANDREESSEN
Co-author of Mosaic, the first widely used web browser and founder of Netscape
Communications.
Although Mosaic was not the first graphical browser, was the first to stand and
pioneer in display text with embedded images.
Mosaic led to Netscape Navigator was a huge success, helping to bring web
users. In 1998, Netscape released the source code of Netscape Communicator
under an open source license. This project, known as Mozilla, became the basis
of what we know today as Firefox, the second most used browser in the world.

BRIAN BEHLENDORF
He was the principal developer of the Apache Web Server and one of the
founding members of the Apache group. While working as a webmaster website
Wired Magazine, realized changes and corrections initially developed at NCSA
at the University of Illinois HTTP server. After noticing that others were also
adding their own patches, was commissioned to compile a list of email
addresses to coordinate the work.
4. SERVICES

THE INTERNET

The Internet carries an extremely large number of network services, including the
World Wide Web, electronic mail, Internet phone, audio, video and file transfer
services.
4.1. WORLD WIDE WEB
This NeXT Computer was used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN and became the
world's first Web server.
Many people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web, or just the Web,
interchangeably, but the two terms are not synonymous. The World Wide Web is
only one of hundreds of services used on the Internet. The Web is a global set
ofdocuments, images and other resources, logically interrelated by hyperlinks and
referenced with Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). URIs symbolically identify
services, servers, and other databases, and the documents and resources that they
can provide. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the main access protocol of the
World Wide Web. Web services also use HTTP to allow software systems to
communicate in order to share and exchange business logic and data.
World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, lets
users navigate from one web page to another via hyperlinks
embedded in the documents. These documents may also
contain any combination of computer data, including graphics,
sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that
runs while the user is interacting with the page. Client-side
software can include animations, games, office applications and scientific
demonstrations. Through keyword-driven Internet research using search engines
like Yahoo! and Google, users worldwide have easy, instant access to a vast and
diverse amount of online information. Compared to printed media, books,
encyclopedias and traditional libraries, the World Wide Web has enabled the
decentralization of information on a large scale.
4.2. COMMUNICATION
Email is an important communications service available on the Internet. The concept
of sending electronic text messages between parties in a way analogous to mailing
THE INTERNET

letters or memos predates the creation of the Internet. Pictures, documents and
other files are sent as email attachments. Emails can be cc-ed to multiple email
addresses.
Internet telephony is another common communications service made possible by
the creation of the Internet. VoIP stands for Voice-over-Internet Protocol, referring to
the protocol that underlies all Internet communication. The idea began in the early
1990s with walkie-talkie-like voice applications for personal computers. In recent
years many VoIP systems have become as easy to use and as convenient as a
normal telephone. The benefit is that, as the Internet carries the voice traffic, VoIP can
be free or cost much less than a traditional telephone
call, especially over long distances and especially for
those with always-on Internet connections such as cable
or ADSL. VoIP is maturing into a competitive alternative
to traditional telephone service. Interoperability between
different providers has improved and the ability to call or
receive a call from a traditional telephone is available.
Simple, inexpensive VoIP network adapters are available that eliminate the need for
a personal computer.
Voice quality can still vary from call to call, but is often equal to and can even exceed
that of traditional calls. Remaining problems for VoIP include emergency telephone
number dialing and reliability. Currently, a few VoIP providers provide an emergency
service, but it is not universally available.
4.3. DATA TRANSFER
File sharing is an example of transferring large amounts of data across the Internet. A
computer file can be emailed to customers, colleagues and friends as an
attachment. It can be uploaded to a website or FTP server for easy download by
others. It can be put into a "shared location" or onto a file server for instant use by
colleagues. The load of bulk downloads to many users can be eased by the use of
"mirror" servers or peer-to-peer networks. In any of these cases, access to the file
may be controlled by user authentication, the transit of the file over the Internet may
be obscured by encryption, and money may change hands for access to the file.

THE INTERNET

The price can be paid by the remote charging of funds from, for example, a credit
card whose details are also passed usually fully encrypted across the Internet.
The origin and authenticity of the file received may be checked by digital signatures
or by MD5 or other message digests. These simple features of the Internet, over a
worldwide basis, are changing the production, sale, and distribution of anything that
can be reduced to a computer file for transmission. This includes all manner of print
publications, software products, news, music, film, video, photography, graphics and
the other arts. This in turn has caused seismic shifts in each of the existing industries
that previously controlled the production and distribution of these products.
5. CENSORSHIP

Some governments, such as those of Burma, Iran, North Korea, the

Mainland China, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates restrict what
people in their countries can access on the Internet, especially political
and religious content. This is accomplished through software that filters
domains and content so that they may not be easily accessed or
obtained without elaborate circumvention.
Many countries, including the United States, have enacted laws against
the possession or distribution of certain material, such as child
pornography, via the Internet, but do not mandate filtering software.
There are many free and commercially available software programs,
called content-control software, with which a user can choose to block
offensive websites on individual computers or networks, in order to limit a
child's access to pornographic materials or depiction of violence.

6. WHAT IS THE USE THE INTERNET?

Today, the internet has a lot of features, but among these are the following:

Works

Trade

Advisory

Communication

Online Games

Among many others, of those who have learned to serve users.

7. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

The evolution and access do exist advantages and disadvantages of
internet in recent times has grown enormously and today there are many
people, especially the younger generations were born with it, so after a
while and the internet is something intrinsic in our lives, and their growth
so we can not stop.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INTERNET:

The Internet provides opportunities galore, and can be used for a variety of
things. Some of the things that you can do via the Internet are:
E-mail: E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send
and receive instant electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your
messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world, unlike
traditional mail that takes a lot of time.
Access Information: The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information. Any
kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The
search engines on the Internet can help you to find data on any subject that
you need.
Shopping: Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop
online. There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for

THE INTERNET

products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave
your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home.
Online Chat: There are many chat rooms on the web that can be accessed to
meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.
Downloading Software: This is one of the most happening and fun things to do
via the Internet. You can download innumerable, games, music, videos, movies,
and a host of other entertainment software from the Internet, most of which are
free.
-

DISADVANTAGES OF THE INTERNET

There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be
summarized as:
Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such
as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a
credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be stolen
which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.
Pornography: This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially
when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on
the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children
use the Internet.
Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no
purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
If you come across any illegal activity on the Internet, such as child pornography
or even spammers, then you should report these people and their activities so
that they can be controlled and other people deterred from carrying them out.
Child pornography can be reported to:
-

Your Internet service provider

Local police station
Cyber Angels (program to report cyber crime)

THE INTERNET

Such illegal activities are frustrating for all Internet users, and so instead of just
ignoring it, we should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that
using the Internet can become that much safer. That said, the advantages of the
Internet far outweigh the disadvantages, and millions of people each day benefit
from using the Internet for work and for pleasure.
