    To connect to the internet, one needs a device like a computer or phone, a modem, and an internet connection like telephone, cable or satellite. An internet service provider (ISP) provides access to the internet. Each device on the internet has a unique IP address made up of 32 bits divided into four groups of numbers separated by periods. The domain name system (DNS) translates domain names like www.example.com into IP addresses for easier identification. A web browser like Chrome, Edge or Firefox is used to view and interact with web pages and other online content accessed via URLs (uniform resource locators) which specify resources like documents and files on the internet.

    Communication Using the Internet

    To connect to the Internet you need the


    following:

    Personal Computer, Laptop, phone, Tablet, etc

    Modem

    Communication Link
    • Telephone
    • Cable
    • Satellite

    ISP (Internet Service Provider)


    • Cable & Wireless
    • Green Dot
    • TSTT
    Modems
    Internet Software Requirements
    To Connect to the Internet and access information or other
    services, you need an implementation of the software TCP/IP
    (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

    TCP/IP is a set of rules that defines how computers interact


    or communicate with each other to transfer data from one
    computer to another over the Internet.

    TCP/IP enables hardware and operating systems software from


    different computers to communicate
    Internet Addresses
    How does the TTPost know where to deliver a letter addressed to
    YOU?
    Internet Addresses
    Yes! You have a Postal address…. But on the Internet, each
    computer has a unique address that identifies it as a “NODE” (a
    specific point) of the global Internet. This unique address is
    called the IP address (Internet Protocol address)
    It is a 32-bit address consisting of four sets of up to 3 digits each
    separated by full stops.. Eg. 196.361.232.4
    Internet Addresses

    This seems like a very tedious number to remember.


    Yes, that is why the Domain Name System (DNS) was
    developed.

    A domain specifies the location of a host computer on the


    Internet. The DNS allows the Internet host to find another
    Internet Host, by translating the IP address of the computer
    into a host name
    Email Addresses
    Look at the email address: bestfriedchicken@gmail.com

    You should notice it has two sections. The first part is the userid. This
    describes ‘WHO’ is at the address. The 2nd part is separated with the @
    sign which gives the domain name of the address.
    Each component is separated by a period (.)
    Eg. Your.name@yourdomain.com

    So we know the following:

    1. The first part says who is at the address


    2. The 2nd part provides the domain name such as an ISP, a company,
    organisation
    3. The 3rd part gives the top level domain name extension eg: .com
    which means it is a commercial organisation
    Domain Name Extensions
    Communication Using the Internet
    The Internet is also referred to as the “Information Superhighway”.
    Computers can be connected to the Internet through the following
    communication links:

    Telephone Lines

    Satellites

    Cable

    Internet Addresses
    World Wide Web
    Is the World Wide Web different from the Internet?
    YES!!. The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet which allows
    documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user
    to search for information by moving from one document to another.
    Hypermedia, an extension of the term hypertext which includes graphics, audio, video,
    plain text and hyperlinks. 

    Hyperlink is a reference to data that the reader can directly follow either by clicking
    or by hovering. A hyperlink points to a whole document or to a specific element within
    a document. Hypertext is text with hyperlinks.eg https://www.howstuffworks.com
    This is a hyperlink since it takes you to the site called how stuff works

    A website is a collection of hypertext or hypermedia documents available in one


    place on the world wide web
    How can you find Information on the WEB?
    What is a Web Browser?
    A software application used to locate, retrieve and display
    content on the World Wide Web, including Web pages,
    images, video and other files.

    The browser contacts the Web server and requests


    information.

    The Web server sends the information back to the Web


    browser which displays the results on the computer or other
    Internet-enabled device that supports a browser.
    Web Browser Examples
    Uc Netscape Vivaldi
    Google Microsoft Mozilla Safari
