The internet, a vast interconnected network of data streaming across the world, through a web system of wired connections that spans to the length that wide as the globe. The precursors of the internet date back to research by the government of the United States, done back as early as the 1960s. The actual internet origins occurred some time in the mid-1980s as generations of exponential growth for computers of personal, mobile, and institutional reach the networking internet. Since the 1980s, the internet was mainly used solely for academic purposes, but commercialization of the internet in the 1990s led to the popularization and incorporation into the public use of the internet in daily life. As of mid-2012, 1/3 of the population of the world currently uses the internet, nearly 100 times more than the amount of people that used it in 1995.
The internet can be accessed via computers, desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, smart televisions, net-books, video game systems, and wrist watches as of the present day. The uses of the internet ranges from educational purposes to virtual content management, shows how versatile and flexible the internet can be proven to be. Other service that the internet provides are communication via email, file sharing, streaming of audio and video media, and data browsing through websites. Methods to access the internet can be done through dial-up, broadband landlines, Wi-Fi, satellite, and fourth generational mobile telecommunication technology based mobile telephony, also known as 4G. Libraries and internet cafes serve as public domains for internet access, as well as internet access points placed in airport halls, public terminal kiosk found in hotels, and hotsp...

... can put risk on the safety of children from their parents getting addicted to the social network which results in the neglect of their child. The overwhelming number of social relationships and embedded messages in social networks, raises the number of social information that demand reactions from other social-networking users. As a result, certain users are perceiving the notion that they are handing out an excess amount of social support to their friends. This usage of social-networking called social overload, is due to usage extent, friends count, norms for social support, relationship type based on online or offline status, and age. Consequences that affect behaviors and the psychology of social overload involves social-networking exhaustion being perceived, a lack of user satisfaction, and higher rates of reduced or abandoned use of social networks entirely.
The Internet is a public, global network of networks which is based on Internet Protocol (IP) and related standards (http://www.teleshuttle.com/media/extradef.htm). The Internet was designed to provide a standard means of interconnecting networks so that any system could communicate with any other system, regardless of physical location. It operates as a confederated network of networks (an "internet"), and offers universal accessibility (http://www.teleshuttle.com/media/extradef.htm).
The definition of the Internet put in one sentence is: A worldwide network of computer networks that use the TCP/IP network protocols to facilitate data transmission and exchange, where anyone with a computer can access the internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider).
The Internet is made up of thousands of computers from around the world, these computers are linked up together though cables and satellites. Often people think the Internet is a “cloud,” but it’s a physical object. It is made up of servers and clients, which are usually made out of plastic and metal, containing a series of electronic circuits, for example; wires, glass, fibre optics, chips and other simular parts to used make a circuit. The Internet is used for a wide range of activities; these are, sending files, research on the World Wide Web (WWW), online chatting and electronic mail service. Humans are so dependant on the Internet because it holds most of our private information in servers around the world.
Many studies have been conducted on the various features of cyberspace, its connection to social media, and how it influences professional, intimate, and cordial relationships. Although many spectators are convinced that society’s frequent use of cyberspace has taken a turn down the wrong path, cyberspace has opened up many opportunities for professional relationships to establish, such as the relationship between Facebook usage and an increase in work values in Taiwan (Lin, Le, Khalil, & Cheng, 2012). However, contradictory results suggest that heavy use of the internet by young children, specifically adolescent girls, may be a factor of negative social well-being (Pea et al., 2012). In order to fully understand how social cyberspace affects everyday relationships, all forms of interactions must be examined. This paper will examine the positive and negative effects of cyberspace connections and whether they should be utilized and in what manner.
The Internet is the largest source of information in the world today. With its web sites and chat rooms, it is a means of communicating with people in places all over the face of the earth. Since its conception in 1973, the Internet has grown at a whirlwind rate. 51 million adults, were on-line as of the second quarter 1997 in the United States alone. Some say that the Internet is so enjoyable that it is almost addictive.
You are required to carry out a research project using the Internet. The title of your project is Security and Confidentiality on the Internet. Produce a 1500 word report examining the following areas in regard to the Internet.
We live in a world where the internet lays a pinnacle role in our day to day lives. The internet is used globally and can impact the world in many ways. Firstly, what is internet? Well internet is a computer network which globally providing a wide range of information and communication services.
Internet is well known as the connectivity of two or more computers, or a connectivity of millions of computer around the world. They are linked to each other by many types of connectivity of networks such as telephone lines, cables or wireless and satellite connections.
The Internet began like most things in our society, that is to say that the government started it. The Internet started out as a experimental military network in the 60's. Doug Engelbart prototypes an "Online System" (NLS) which does hypertext browsing editing, email, and so on. The Internet is a worldwide broadcasting resource used for distributing information and a source for interaction between people on their computers.
The creation of the Internet resulted in a revolution of languages and communications, as a whole. The revolution had completely changed the way the world was connected, making it smaller and giving a new form of influence & power to the people who know how to use it. The Internet offers a foundation for boundless imagination and creativity as it allowed different societies to be immersed within foreign cultures and practises that would have otherwise been impractical and difficult to achieve by means other than through the World Wide Web.
The internet has come along way since its birth back in 1969, from its start as a government network to the everyday life; it has proven to be one of the greatest inventions ever discovered. It has helped many people with an array of task ranging from everyday government usage, and personal web pages to the ever so expanding horizons of technology still being produced today. Between the good and the bad, the internet has improved the way of life, and will continue to improve throughout time.
As of June 2014, over 42% of the world population have access to the Internet. That is over three billion people, a 741% increase in use since the year 2000. Looking at North America alone, almost 90% of the population has access to the internet. That is 310.3 million people with almost instantaneous access to information, and with the ability to communicate with people all over the country and the world. The Internet has grown significantly as a mass medium, and has radically changed the daily lives of citizens in countries with high access. It is a tool that countries, such as the United States, has integrated into most aspects of life. This has had a profound impact on the culture, society, and relationships of people all over the globe.
Internet as part of the history is the most important invention around the world which connects people thru phones, satellites and cables. People all over the world have access to it as it is everyday usage, and internet becomes globally real and in demand. To mention here, the usage for permits technically for travelling or getting tickets are electronically through internet, paying bills, shopping thru nets without going out (just browsing), playing games, and mostly the merit of possibly downloading music and movies in no time (just a click).
The history of the internet begins with the invention of computers in the 1950’s. The internet serves as a big influence on our everyday lives and it has changed our lives tremendously. The Internet creates new ways for us citizens to communicate, congregate, and share information of a social nature. The Internet has many advantages and will continue to change the way we live.
The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite to link several billon devices worldwide (Wikipedia). The internet is sometimes simply referred to as the ‘Net’ or the “online world”, is now the most ubiquitous or universal conveyor of electronic information (Gourley). The term internet essentially refers to the broadcasting, transfer, and reconstruction of digitally-coded data between two or more machines equipped with computer chips. For the today’s online users, the flow of bits and bytes occurs instantly and invisibly. Yet, The internet was technically born decades ago, but the internet was introduced to the world when a company, named Netscape, went public in 1995. Netscape introduced the masses to the free flow of electronic information through a web browser. In other words, it is the translation of digital data from remote repositories and the results are displayed on screen (in form of a website or web page) – while well known online companies like America Online and CompuServe existed prior that time, both restricted their users to from their own portfolio of proprietary data, which is a closed end system known as the Intranet.
