INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET AND WEB
Internet and its use:
The
Internet gives us access to more information and ways to communicate
which may not have been possible otherwise. Technically,
the 'Internet' and the 'World Wide Web' mean different things.
The
Internet is made up of millions of computers from all around the
world, linked to each other by a network of telephone lines, cables
and satellite connections. The Web or the World Wide Web is the
information and the services that we can use. To get onto the web
you'll need an internet connection and a device to connect to the
internet on.
Internet
can be used on computers, laptops and tablets. You can also access
the web on the smartphones, some game consoles and even on smart TVs.
To access the internet, you'll need an internet connection. Internet
connections can be of high-speed like broadband or slower like with
dial-up connection. Once you're connected to the internet, it's
really quite easy to move around the web and find the type of
information you're looking for. To do this you need a browser.
