GROUP 6

LESSON 16
THE INTERNET AND EDUCATION
The Internet,also simply called the NET, is the largest and farflung network system-of-all-systems. Surprisingly,the internet is not really a
network but a loosely organized collection of about 25,000 networks
accessed by computer on the planet. It is astonishing to know that no one
owns the Internet.
How is everything coordinated through the Internet? This is done
through a standardized protocol( or set of rules for exchanging data) called
TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL/INTERNET
PROTOCOL(TCP/IP).To gain access to the Internet,the computer must be
equipped with what is called a Server which has a special software
(program) that uses the Internet protocol. The grea attraction of the Internet
is that once the sign up fees are paid, there are no extra charges.Electronic
mail,for example,is free regardless of the amount of use.

GETTING AROUND THE NET

The vast sea of information now in the internet,including news and
trivia,is an overwhelming challenge to those who wish to navigate it. The
most attractive way to move around the Internet is called
BROWSING.Using a program called BROWSER, the user can use a
mouse to point and click on screen icons to surf the Internet,particularly, the
WORLD WIDE WEB(THE WEB). The future of the Internet seems limitless.
