Internet: a Whole New World (Wide Web) Including Video and Audio
Who hasn't heard about the internet? No one! Unless, of course,
you have been living in a cave for the past decade! The internet
is the crowning achievement of the Information Age (which is
what we call this age we live in). It has completely
revolutionized how we communicate and how we live.
But what exactly is this thing we call the internet? In a
nutshell, the internet is the interconnection of computers
around the world. It allows users of these computers to
communicate in a variety of ways: through email, streaming
conferencing, website information, file sharing, and others.
For you to connect to the internet, you will need a computer and
a connection to an ISP (Internet Service Provide). Your ISP will
provide you with a connection and the means to connect to the
internet.
The internet started out as a project of ARPANET (Advanced
Research Projects Agency of the US Department of Defense), which
was commissioned by the Pentagon to look into the uses of
networking for military purposes in 1960. From here, the
internet was steadily developed to benefit the whole populace.
In the beginning, the internet could only chug along at a low
data transfer rate. Today, ISPs offer speeds from 56 kilobytes
per second to 10 megabytes per second or more! This allows
people to transfer more data which facilitates better
communication.
The internet impacts so much of our daily lives that it has
become indispensable to so many people and businesses.
Uses of the Internet
1. E-mail - Gone are the days when people had to wait weeks or
even months to receive postal mail! With the internet, an email
can be sent and reach its destination instantaneously! E-mails
have made the world a smaller place, allowing people separated
by great distances to correspond.
2. Instant
Messaging, Chat Rooms - Services such as AIM, Yahoo
Messenger, and MSN Messenger allow people to send messages
instantaneously, much like a phone conversation using written
messages. There are also "virtual rooms" on the internet
facilitated by services developed for this reason. These "rooms"
allow many users to chat using written messages.
3. Webpages - Webpages are like virtual homes on the internet.
They allow people to post documents on the internet that are
easy to browse through and navigate. As time passed by, webpages
gained more functionality. Today you can download files, submit
files and comments, and purchase items online.
Webpages serve many functions: some promote businesses, some are
purely informational, and some become money making vehicles. The
internet spawned what we now call e-commerce. This involves
purchasing over the internet. You can even use online payment
methods such as PayPal and other methods.
4. Streaming Services and File Sharing - The internet also
allows file sharing. This allows you to share files with other
users. These files may be large or small. Streaming services
allow you to receive data such as radio feeds, or even video
feeds over the internet.
A Brave New World
The internet makes so much things possible. In the next few
years we will see much more. In the past, the internet was
limited to large institutions. Now residential internet has
become more affordable. Today's technology even allows mobile
internet! You could surf the internet from a mobile device such
as a cell phone, or you could surf from your laptop in areas
that offer Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity).
