Executive Summary
This report is an explorative study in to fast emerging field of Services Provided By The Internet with the objective of gaining better insights into the subject. The Internet consists of various resources and services, which ultimately gives the user flexibility to do his/her dayto-day activity. The services provided by the Internet is used for interaction, business, marketing, downloading files, sending data etc. Various Internet services are Electronic Mail, World Wide Web (WWW), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Chat Rooms, Mailing list, Instant Messaging, Chat, and News Groups. The study is based on secondary data and efforts are focused towards identifying the Features Of The Services Provided By The Internet.

CHAPTER 1:INTRODUCTION
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email The commercialization of what was by the 1990s an international network resulted in its popularization and incorporation into virtually every aspect of modern human life. As of 2013, more than 2.1 billion people nearly a third of Earths population use the services of the Internet. The largest network of the networks is called the Internet. The Internet is a globally distributed network comprising many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. It operates without a central governing body.

CHAPTER 2: BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INTERNET

Internet history revolves around four distinct aspects. There is the technological evolution that began with early research on packet switching and the ARPANET (and related technologies), and where current research continues to expand the horizons of the infrastructure along several dimensions, such as scale, performance, and higher-level functionality.

1.ARPA Advanced Research Project Agency. 2. 1969 January 2 started an experimental Computer Network. 3. Concept No Server, but equal importance/participation to every computer in the Network. 4. Even if, one or two node destroyed that will not affect the Network.

CHAPTER 3: SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INTERNET

Services provided by the internet include: 1. Electronic Mail (e-mail) 2. World Wide Web 3. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) 4. Chat Rooms 5. Mailing list 6. Instant Messaging 7. News Groups

Electronic Mail
Electronic mail, commonly known as email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages from an author to one or more recipients. Modern email operates across the Internet or other computer networks. Email servers accept, forward, deliver and store messages. An email message consists of three components, the message envelope, the message header, and the message body. The message header contains control information, including attachment option, reason box, email address and one or more recipient addresses. Message can consist of attachments, graphic or video/audio clips.

E.g.: - e-mail addresses Samsung@gmail.com Apple@outlook.com Some popular E-mail services providers are: 1. Gmail 2. Hotmail 3. Yahoo 4. MSN

World Wide Web (WWW)

Important features of the world wide web (www) are listed below 1. Most important service provided by Internet. 2. An internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing. 3. Developed in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee of the European Particle Physics Lab (CERN) in Switzerland.

Search Engines
Search engines are used for searching information on the Internet. Some of the popular ones are: 1. Google 2. Yahoo 3. Bing

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.

 The first FTP client applications were interactive command-line tools, implementing standard commands and syntax. Graphical user interface clients have since been developed for many of the popular desktop operating systems in use today.

Chat Rooms
1. Real time typed conversation via computers. 2. Chat rooms (the channel or medium ). 3. Chat clients (program used to connect to a chat server) 4. Normally included on a browser 5. Freely downloaded from the web 6. Some are text only; others support voice & video

Mailing List
A mailing list is a collection of names and addresses used by an individual or an organization to send material to multiple recipients. The term is often extended to include the people subscribed to such a list, so the group of subscribers is referred to as "the mailing list", or simply "the list".
1. Group of e-mail address given a single name. 2. When a message is sent to the mailing list everyone on the list receive the message. 3. To add your name to a mailing list you must subscribe to it; to remove your name you must unsubscribe.

. Instant Messaging
Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat which offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over alocal area network.
1. Notifies you when one or more people are online allow exchange of messages and files 2. It allows you to join a private chat rooms. 3. Real time conversation that takes place on a computer 5. Chat room is location on server that permits users to discus topics of interest 6. Some are the text only others support voice and video

News Groups
A news group is called as forum, an on-line discussion group. On the Internet, there are literally thousands of newsgroups covering every conceivable interest. To view and post messages to a newsgroup, you need a news reader, a program that runs on your computer and connects you to a news server on the Internet.
1. Online area in which users conduct written discussion about a particular subject. 2. Usenet (collection of all internet news groups). 3. News server (computer storing newsgroups messages). 4. Newsreader (program used to access newsgroups).

5. Articles (a previously entered message).

6. Posting (adding an article to the newspaper).

7. Message board (discussion board; easier to use). 8. Blog (short for the web log; regularly updated)

CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSION
The Internet allows greater flexibility in working hours and location, especially with the spread of unmetered highspeed connections. The Internet can be accessed almost anywhere by numerous means, including through mobile Internet devices. Mobile phones, datacards, handheld game consoles and cellular routers allow users to connect to the Internet wirelessly.
For distance education, help with homework and other assignments, self-guided learning, whiling away spare time, or just looking up more detail on an interesting fact, it has never been easier for people to access educational information at any level from anywhere. The Internet in general and the World Wide Web in particular are important enablers of both formal and informal education.

The low cost and nearly instantaneous sharing of ideas, knowledge, and skills has made collaborative work dramatically easier, with the help of collaborative software. Not only can a group cheaply communicate and share ideas but the wide reach of the Internet allows such groups more easily to form. An example of this is the free software movement, which has produced, among other things, Linux, Mozilla Firefox, and OpenOffice.org. Internet chat, whether using an IRC chat room, an instant messaging system, or a social networking website, allows colleagues to stay in touch in a very convenient way while working at their computers during the day.

An office worker away from their desk, perhaps on the other side of the world on a business trip or a holiday, can access their emails, access their data using cloud computing, or open a remote desktop session into their office PC using a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection on the Internet. This can give the worker complete access to all of their normal files and data, including email and other applications, while away from the office. It has been referred to among system administrators as the Virtual Private Nightmare, because it extends the secure perimeter of a corporate network into remote locations and its employees' homes.
