The Internet
Definition
The Internet, sometimes simply called "the network," is a worldwide system of
computer networks—a network of networks in which users on any computer can,
if they have permission, obtain information from (and sometimes talk directly to)
any other computer. users on other computers). It was created by the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the US government in 1969 and was first
known as ARPANET. The original goal was to create a network that would allow
users of a research computer at one university to "talk" to research computers at
other universities. A side benefit of the ARPANet design was that because
messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network
could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a
military attack or another disaster.
Types of the internet

Dialup connection:
It is an old way of connecting to the internet. The dial-up connection uses a phone line
and is very slow. You can either make a call on the phone or connect to the internet.
The connection time is high in dial-up connections. The internet speed is also very
slow. You cannot do video/audio chat on this type of connection. Also downloading
any file is very slow. Nowadays this type of connection is not used.
Leased line:
: A leased line is a dedicated phone line used to connect to the internet. A leased line
is used by big organizations. Some universities still use a leased line for making a
connection to the internet.

ISDN (Integrated service digital network):

In this type of internet, you can connect a computer, fax machine, or telephone line to
a single ISDN. ISDN uses a modem to connect different devices. ISDN is more costly
than a Dialup connection. You can transfer video, audio, and other data at the same
time i.e. you can make a phone call from your telephone and also can use the internet
at the same time.
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line):

DSL is the most commonly used type and with this type of connection, the Internet
download speed is higher than the Internet upload speed. You mostly use the Internet
to download data. And we upload files less.
Advantages of the Internet

Advantages of the Internet include:
● Access to endless information, knowledge, and education.

● Increased ability to communicate, connect and share.
● The ability to work from home, collaborate and access a global workforce.
● The ability to sell and make money as a business or individual.
● Get access to an unlimited supply of entertainment sources such as movies,
music, videos, and games.
● The ability to amplify the impact of a message, enabling charities and other
organizations to reach a wider audience and increase overall donations.
● Access to the Internet of Things (IoT) allows home appliances and devices to be
connected and controlled from a computer or smartphone.
● Ability to store data and easily share files with cloud storage.
● The ability to instantly monitor and control personal accounts such as bank
accounts or credit card accounts.

Disadvantages of the Internet

● The Internet is the best place to advertise any service or product
compared to traditional advertising methods (such as television,
newspapers, and radio). However, you may see more spam in your inbox
than junk mail in real life because digital advertising can be sent out on a
large scale.
● In the modern age, there is a huge amount of content available on the
internet. There are also various sources that contain a large amount of
data, such as Wikipedia, and there are also some sites that have less
desirable content. Thus, users may see pornographic or violent images
that they may not want to see while using the site.
● The internet is the best creation that offers connectivity and allows
people to work from anywhere. Therefore, anyone can expect you to be
available for work at any time, even if you are not there to work. For
example, you received an important work email while you may be at
home, and then, without getting paid, end up reading the content of that
email.
● There are various malicious users and computer hackers who can steal
your personal information and hack accounts that can be used for
identity theft and can be harmful to you personally.
Browser

Definition
A browser is a software or computer application that, through a graphical
interface, allows users to navigate or browse the web using hyperlinks and URLs.
The browser communicates with servers using the HTTP language, receives files
in HTML code, translates them, and displays them to the user on the screen.
Types of the browser

Chrome
Created in 2008, Google's browser has gained a following over the years thanks
to its speed and extension offering to become the undisputed leader in the web
browser market. Currently, more than 66%, or two out of three users, use this
browser.
Mozilla Firefox:
In second place among the most used browsers and very far from the first, we
find Mozilla Firefox with 10% of users. The main feature of this browser is the
presence of free and open source software, which makes it more positive in terms
of privacy, it is also one of the preferred by computer programmers.
Internet Explorer:
It is developed by Microsoft, in its origins, it was the most used search engine in
the world because it was the browser that was installed by default in the Windows
operating system. However, the emergence of competitors and some features
that did not convince users caused the number of users to drop drastically and
currently does not exceed 7%.
Safari:
5
The last browser on our list is software designed by Apple for the Mac OS
operating system and later for iPhone phones, it has always stood out for its
very polished design.
Search Engine
Definition
A search engine is a software system designed to perform web searches. They
systematically search the World Wide Web for specific information specified in a
text search query on the Web. Search results are generally presented in a series
of results, often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs). When a user
enters a query into a search engine, the machine searches its index of web pages
to find those relevant to the user's query. The results are then sorted by relevance
and displayed to users. Information can be a combination of links to websites,
images, videos, infographics, articles, research papers, and other types of files.
Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories.
Types of the search engine

Google
Google Search Engine is the best search engine in the world and it is also one of
the most popular products from Google. Almost 70 percent of the search engine
market was acquired by Google. The tech giant is constantly evolving and trying
to improve the search engine algorithm to provide the best results to the end
user. Although Google appears to be the largest search engine, as of 2015
YouTube is now more popular than Google (on desktop).
Bing
6
Bing is Microsoft's answer to Google and was launched in 2009. Bing is the
default search engine in Microsoft's web browser. Bing is always trying to be a
better search engine, but it still has a long way to go to give Google competition.
Microsoft's search engine provides a variety of services including image, web,
and video searches along with maps. Bing introduced Places (Google's
equivalent of Google My Business), a great platform for businesses to submit
their data to optimize search results.
Yahoo
Yahoo and Bing compete more with each other than with Google. A recent report
on netmarketshare.com tells us that Yahoo has a market share of 7.68 percent.
Despite being the leader in the free email provider space, that number is dropping
significantly though with their recent confirmation that user data and passwords
were hacked last year.
Baidu
Baidu is the most used search engine in China and was founded in January 2000
by Chinese entrepreneur Eric Xu. This web search is used to provide results for
web pages, audio files, and images. It provides some other services including
maps, reports, cloud storage, and much more.
