Protocol/Internet Protocol

 The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is

intended for use as a highly reliable host-tohost protocol between hosts in packetswitched computer communication networks,
and in interconnected systems of such
networks.
The Internet Protocol is designed for use in
interconnected systems of packet-switched
computer communication networks. Such a
system has been called a "catenet" .
The internet protocol provides for
transmitting blocks of data called data grams
from sources to destinations, where sources
and destinations are hosts identified by fixed
length addresses. The internet protocol also
provides for fragmentation and reassembly of

Browser
Web browser(commonly referred to as

abrowser) is asoftware applicationfor

retrieving, presenting and traversing
information resources on the
World Wide Web.
Aninformation resourceis identified by a
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) and
may be aweb page, image, video or other
piece of content.Hyperlinkspresent in
resources enable users easily to navigate
theirbrowsersto related resources.

Although browsers are

primarily intended to
use the World Wide
Web, they can also be
used to access

History
T h e fi r s t w e b b r o w s e r w a s
invented in 1990 by Sir
T i m Ber ne rs- Lee. B e r n e r s - L e e

renamed Nexus.

The primary purpose of a web browser is to

bring information resources to the user
("retrieval" or "fetching"), allowing them to
view the information ("display", "rendering"),
and then access other information
("navigation", "following links").
This process begins when the user inputs a
Uniform Resource Locator(URL), for
examplehttp://en.wikipedia.org/, into the
browser. The prefix of the URL, the Uniform
Resource Identifier orURI, determines how the
URL will be interpreted. The most commonly
used kind of URI starts withhttp:and identifies
a resource to be retrieved over the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP).

information spacewhere documents and other
web resourcesare identified byURIs, interlinked
byhypertextlinks, and can be accessed via the

Internet.[1]
The World Wide Web is the primary tool billions use
to interact on the internet, and it has changed
people's lives immeasurably
Web pagesare primarilytextdocuments
formatted and annotated with
Hypertext Markup Language(HTML). In addition to
formatted text, web pages may containimages,
video, and software components that are rendered
in the user'sweb browseras coherent pages of
multimediacontent. Embeddedhyperlinkspermit
users tonavigatebetween web pages.

Multiple web pages with a common

theme, a commondomain name, or
both, may be called awebsite.
Website content can largely be
provided by the publisher, or
interactive where users contribute
content or the content depends
upon the user or their actions.
Websites may be mostly informative,
primarily for entertainment, or
largely for commercial purposes.

British computer scientistTim Berners-Leeis the

inventor of the Web.As aCERNemployee, BernersLee distributed a proposal on 12 March 1989 for
what would eventually become the World Wide
Web.The initial proposal intended a more effective
CERN communication system, but Berners-Lee also
realized the concept could be implemented
throughout the world.Berners-Lee andBelgian
computer scientistRobert Cailliauproposed in
1990 to use hypertext "to link and access
information of various kinds as a web of nodes in
which the user can browse at will",and Berners-Lee
finished the first website in December of that year.

The first test was completed around 20 December
1990 and Berners-Lee reported about the project
on the newsgroupalt.hypertexton 7 August 1991.

The Internet is the largest set of computer networks that

use the Internet Protocol. The invention and
development of the Internet was the biggest discovery
by mankind in the 20th century that led to a revolution.
Today, the Internet is used by more than 50% of the
world population, as its applications are found in nearly
every fields of life, be it communication, knowledge,
news, shopping, marketing, entertainment, education,
etc. So, how exactly does the Internet technology benefit
students for education?
The fast and relatively low-cost access is one of the
major benefits of Internet to people and students all over
the world, as getting an Internet connection is easy.
Communication and information are the two basic uses
of the Internet. Information available on websites can be
updated or modified at any time and for any number of
times, which helps in learning and better understanding.

Advantages of the Internet in Education

Using Multimedia
it is believed that visual data has a greater
impact on learning and memorizing than plain
text. Therefore, images, graphics, animation,
pictures, slides, documentaries, etc., have a
greater appeal than a plain textbook. Using
multimedia and Internet provides an
opportunity for children to gain knowledge
about a particular subject in depth. Students
can now see the actual photographs of rare bird
species, or see animated graphics of a volcanic
eruption to understand the concept in detail.

Online Learning
Another positive effect of Internet in education is the
onset of distance education or online education (internetbased training (IBT) or web-based training (WBT)). With
this facility, you can take up short-term courses with the
course material available online, attend virtual classes,
learn, and appear for exams. One of the benefits of
online learning is that people from any part of the world
can gain knowledge on different subjects, complete
courses, etc
Easy Contact
Students can contact other students or their teachers via
the e-mail if they have queries about any information.
Sharing of information, discussions on a particular
subject, etc., can be easily carried out using the Internet.
At the same time, teachers can also contact parents and
guardians easily using Internet.

 School/College Projects

Using the Internet can be very useful for completing

projects in schools and colleges. As the Internet is an
ocean of information, covering nearly all subjects known
to man, one can find information, research work, etc.,
required for one's projects. Going through the
information on the Internet is definitely faster than
reading an entire book on the subject. Completing
homework is also easier with the help of the Internet.
Encyclopedia
Sometimes, an encyclopedia may not always be
available to students and they may have difficulty in
gaining access to the books in the library. In that case,
the encyclopedia of various subjects available on the
Internet can be helpful. This is more useful for students
who belong to communities not having English as their
mother tongue. Kids and younger children can also be

News
All the latest news are constantly updated on the
Internet on news websites. Students learning politics,
can have an access to all the current affairs through
the Internet. Historical accounts like speeches,
biographies, archive videos and photographs, etc.,
are also easily available on the Internet in detailed
and accurate versions.
Affordable Knowledge
Investing in research material may be tedious and
unaffordable for some. But, now, thanks to the
Internet, we have content websites, web
encyclopedias, and dictionaries whenever we want
them. Today, able as well as less-able students can
be benefited to the sea of knowledge through the
Internet. University courses and learning is now easy
for people belonging to all strata of the society with
the help of online courses.

Easy Education System

Not only gaining knowledge, but, every part of
the education system is simplified because of
the Internet. You can now view your
prospective educational institute, look up for
courses, enroll to online courses, take classes,
research, see your results, and even look for
job prospects on the Internet. Therefore, the
scope of Internet in education is very wide and
equal to all.
No Age Bracket for Education
Online courses provide an opportunity for
people of all age groups to take up education
of their choice, according to their liking and
wish. Be it a student, a housewife, or a
professional, they can just start up their
computers, connect to the Internet, and take
virtual classes. Therefore, people can now gain

Lastly, although the Internet cannot

replace books or classroom education,
it is one of the best substitute for those
who wish to gain deeper knowledge on
literally every subject under the sun.
