In order for one to log on, they must have an Internet Service Provider (ISP). An ISP is simply an "organization that supplies access to the Internet". These organizations usually charge a fee based on the kind and amount of Internet use.

Internet Internet is computers network connected around the World via dedicated servers. When your computer is connected to the internet you can send, received all kinds of information such as text, graphics, voice, programs and video. The Internet history began with development of the computers.

The Internet works by a number of connections, leading to a bigger one and then somehow finding where it wants to be. So how does it do this? First it begins at the PC where the User’s machine is equipped to send and receive all variety of audio and video. From there, the data goes out through the PC's communication to the user's "Local Loop" which is the Internet service provider such as AOL or some other online provider. In there, the system decides what kind of data is being sent and at this location it tells the data what type of data it is and where to go.

It may not seem like it, but it is completely possible to build a personal profile on someone just by tracking them in cyberspace. Every action a person does while logged onto the Internet is recorded somewhere (Boyan, Codel, and Parekh 3). An individual's personal security is the major issue surrounding the Internet. If a person cannot be secure and have privacy on the Internet, the whole system will fail. According to the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT), any web site can find out whose server and the location of the server a person used to get on the Internet, whether his computer is Windows or DOS based, and also the Internet browser that was used.

With the help of the Internet, our personal information is everywhere. Our banking and financial information is online, along with our medical records and social media profiles. Privacy is becoming a bigger issue now that we share our personal information for more things, more frequently. Matthew Danda’s “Protect Yourself Online” is a great place to start learning how to be a more knowledgeable user of the Internet and how to be more aware of our personal information. The book is structured into four parts: Part 1 discusses the fundamentals of Internet security and privacy, Part 2 specializes in privacy while on the World Wide Web, Part 3’s topics are e-mail security and privacy, and Part 4 discusses the ways in which to secure a computer.
