The Internet

1. Who owns the internet?

No one owns the internet. It isn’t controlled by a single person or organization. Internet is more like a concept
not a tangible entity and it relies on a physical infrastructure that connects networks to other networks.

3. Who uses the internet?

Anyone who has electronic device that can access or connect with the internet can use the internet. Internet is
used to provide useful data, information, and knowledge for personal, social and economic development.

4. Give the components of the internet.

Chat - IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is used for live discussions on the Internet.

Ecommerce - Taking orders for products and services on the Internet.

E-mail - Exchanging electronic letters, messages, and small files.

FTP - File Transfer Protocol is the most common method of transferring files between computers via the Internet.

Hosting - Making information available to others on the Internet.

Mailing Lists - E-mail messages forwarded to everyone on a special interest list.

Search Engines - These tools are really a part of the World Wide Web and are often used when looking for information
because the Web has grown so large and is without any inherent organizational structure.

Telnet - Creation of a dumb terminal session to a host computer in order to run software applications on the host
system.

Usenet - Newsgroups for receiving news and sending out announcements.

World Wide Web - This is largest, fastest growing, part of the Internet, the part for which Internet browsers like
Netscape’s Navigator and Microsoft’s Explorer were designed. Business is the leading factor fueling the rapid growth of
the Web making information, advertising, and product ordering readily available to everyone with Web access.

5. What is the anatomy of the URL?

URL

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, or in

other words, the web address of an online
resource, i.e. a web site or document. Web
browsers display the URL in the address bar

URL anatomy explained

Protocol

The protocol declares how your web browser

should communicate with a web server when sending or fetching a web page or document. The most common protocol
is http which stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
Subdomain

A subdomain is a sub-division of the main domain name. For example, mail.doepud.com and calendar.doepud.com are
subdomains of the domain name doepud.com.

Domain name

A domain name is a unique reference that identifies a web site on the internet, for example doepud.co.uk. A domain
name always includes the top-level domain (TLD), which in Doepud's case is uk. The co part is shorthand for commercial
and combined .co.uk is called a second-level domain (SLD).

Port

The port number is rarely visible in URLs but always required. When declared in a URL it comes right after the TLD,
separated by a colon. When it's not declared and in most cases where the protocol is http, port 80 is used. For https
(secure) requests port 443 is used.

Path

The path typically refers to a file or directory on the web server, e.g. /directory/file.php.

Query

A query is commonly found in the URL of dynamic pages (ones which are generated from database or user-generated
content) and is represented by a question mark followed by one or more parameters. The query directly follows the
domain name, path or port number.

Parameters

Parameters are snippets of information found in the query string of a URL. Parameters follow the question mark and are
separated by an ampersand (&) character so they can be understood individually and used to display content on that
page.

Fragment

A fragment is an internal page reference, sometimes called a named anchor. It usually appears at the end of a URL and
begins with a hash (#) character followed by an identifier. It refers to a section within a web page.

6. What are the different kinds of browsers?

Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer (IE) is a product from software giant Microsoft. This is the most commonly used browser in the
universe. This was introduced in 1995 along with Windows 95 launch and it has passed Netscape popularity in 1998.

Google Chrome
This web browser is developed by Google and its beta version was first released on September 2, 2008 for Microsoft
Windows. Today, chrome is known to be one of the most popular web browser with its global share of more than 50%.

Mozilla Firefox
Firefox is a new browser derived from Mozilla. It was released in 2004 and has grown to be the second most popular
browser on the Internet.
Safari
Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Inc. and included in Mac OS X. It was first released as a public beta in
January 2003. Safari has very good support for latest technologies like XHTML, CSS2 etc.

Opera
Opera is smaller and faster than most other browsers, yet it is full- featured. Fast, user-friendly, with keyboard interface,
multiple windows, zoom functions, and more. Java and non Java-enabled versions available. Ideal for newcomers to the
Internet, school children, handicap and as a front-end for CD-Rom and kiosks.

Kingpin browser
Kingpin is a relatively new name in the market but it’s fast gaining popularity, thanks to its no-data-stored approach. It is
just like one of the top browsers with all the features. Except that it always works incognito.

Tor browser
Tor is undoubtedly the most secure browser. However, it’s not easy to use Tor. It operates slowly and has many
limitations. But on the plus side, it doesn’t store history and it changes your IP as well. If slow speeds don’t deter you
from activities, you can use Tor.

Iridium browser
Iridium is a secure browser that’s also fast and renders websites very quickly. It’s based on Chromium but unlike
Chromium, Iridium doesn’t call back home to Google. Also, Iridium is very easy to use. While Tor can be a bit
complicated for an average user, Iridium is very simple and basic and can be used even by newbies.

Konqueror
Konqueror is an Open Source web browser with HTML 4.01 compliance, supporting Java applets, JavaScript, CSS 1, CSS
2.1, as well as Netscape plugins. This works as a file manager as well as it supports basic file management on local UNIX
filesystems, from simple cut/copy and paste operations to advanced remote and local network file browsing.

Lynx
Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web browser for users on Unix, VMS, and other platforms running cursor-
addressable, character-cell terminals or emulators.
