Internet

The Internet is a vast network of interconnected computer systems that allows for the exchange of data and
communication across the globe. It operates on a standardized set of protocols called TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which enables different devices and networks to communicate with one
another.

Here are some key aspects of the Internet:

1. Connectivity: The Internet connects millions of private, public, academic, business, and government
networks, allowing users to access information and services anywhere in the world.

2. World Wide Web: The World Wide Web (WWW) is a service that operates over the Internet, comprising
millions of websites and web pages that can be accessed using web browsers.

3. Protocols: The Internet relies on various protocols to facilitate communication. TCP/IP is the foundational
protocol suite, while others include HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) for web traffic, FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) for file transfers, and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) for email.

4. Applications: The Internet supports a wide array of applications, such as email, social media, online banking,
e-commerce, streaming services, and many more.

5. Infrastructure: The Internet is supported by a complex infrastructure, including servers, routers, and data
centers, as well as physical connections like cables, satellites, and wireless communication technologies.

6. Decentralization: The Internet is generally considered a decentralized network, meaning no single entity
controls it. This allows for a diverse range of content and services to be available.

1. Website and Webpage


.
Website: A collection of related web pages that are typically identified by a common domain name. A
website can contain various types of content, including text, images, videos, and interactive elements. Examples
of websites include corporate sites, blogs, e-commerce platforms, and social media sites.
Webpage: A single document on the World Wide Web, which can be viewed in a web browser. It is
identified by a unique URL and may be written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

2. Hyperlink

Hyperlink: A clickable link on a webpage that directs users to another webpage, document, or resource.
Hyperlinks are typically underlined and colored differently from regular text to indicate interactivity. When
clicked, they provide navigation between different parts of the same site or to external sites.

3. Web Browser

Web Browser: Software that enables users to access and navigate the internet. Popular web browsers
include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. Browsers interpret HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript to render webpages for users, allowing them to view content and interact with web
applications.
4. Web Server

Web Server: A computer system that stores, processes, and delivers web pages to clients (web browsers) over
the internet. It listens for requests from browsers and serves the requested content (HTML, images, videos,
etc.). Examples include Apache, Nginx, and Microsoft IIS.

5. URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

URL: The address used to access resources on the internet. A URL specifies the location of a resource and the
protocol used to retrieve it (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS). For example, `https://www.example.com/page` consists of
several parts including the protocol (`https`), domain (`www.example.com`), and path (`/page`).

6. Types of Websites (Static/Dynamic)

Static Website: A website consisting of fixed content. Each page is coded in HTML and displays the same
information to every visitor. Updates require manual changes to the underlying code. Static websites are
typically faster and easier to host but offer limited interactivity and functionality.
Dynamic Website: A website that generates content dynamically based on user interaction or other
variables. This means that different users may see different content. Dynamic websites typically use server-side
scripts (such as PHP, ASP.NET) and databases to fetch and display content on-the-fly.

7. Search Engines

Search Engines: Online tools that allow users to search for information on the web. They index billions of web
pages and provide a way to find content based on keywords and phrases. Popular search engines include
Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo. They use algorithms to rank and return relevant results based on a
user’s query.
