1 Definition of the Internet

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer

networks that uses the Internet protocol suite to communicate between networks and devices It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies The Internet carries a vast range of

information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing

2 History of the Internet

January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet Prior

to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other A new communications protocol was established called Transfer Control Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP) This allowed different kinds of computers on different networks to "talk" to each other ARPANET and the Defense Data Network officially changed to the TCP/IP standard on January 1, 1983, hence the birth of the Internet All networks could now be connected by

a universal language

No one person invented the internet When networking technology was first developed, a number of scientists and engineers brought their research together to create the ARPANET Later, other inventors’ creations paved the way for the web as we know it today

From the very beginning of the twentieth century there was an existence

of cold war between the USA and Soviet Union Both of the countries tried to develop their communication system as a part of the art of warfare At that time Russia parked the Satellite in the geostationary

orbit to communicate and collect information from other parts of the world The USA then planned to develop their internal communication infrastructure As a part of this, the US defense department decided to launch a network based on the principles of RAND Corporation (In

1960, RAND corporation of America) made publicly the first network with the principle that three would not be any central authority

The defense department of the USA decided to obstruct the invention from a distance In this connection they give the responsibility to Paul Barren of Rolled Institute In 1964 Paul Barren invented the concept of the Internet In 1969 the Advanced Research project Agency (DARPA) under construction of the US Defense Department applied this concept and constructed a computer network among only four computers of Standard Research Institute in California, University of California at Los Angeles, University of California at Santa Barbara and University of Utah This original network, the very first computer network, was called ARPANET (Advance Research Project Agency Network) It was built with the Intention to create a network that would still be available to function efficiently if part of the network was damaged

With the invention of ARPANET the first travel of the Internet started from the 1st September 1969 After that, different technologies and techniques were started to develop and their involvement with the Internet brought the medium today’s status

In the mid 1970’2 the ARPA developed a set of rules called TCP/IP This protocol enabled a variety of networks to be linked with the original ARPANET backbone The number of networks connected to it has grown over the years ARPANET did not originally use the TCP/IP suite from the beginning Instead the ARPANET used Network Control Protocol (NCP) TCP/IP completely replaced NCP from 1938

In the mid 1980’s ARPANET was splited into two networks, MILNET (Military Network) to support Military works and ARPANET to support the academic community In 1982, ARPANET joined with MILNET and ARMY, others and the Internet was thus formed from

1 Uses of the Internet in research

At present, internal use is also being widely used for research, because it has become a little easier to do research through the Internet Before there was no internet, it was very difficult to do research and a lot of time was also wasted

Earlier, in doing research about something, you had to go to the library and read thick books and then you would come to know, but with the

advent of the Internet, you can get information about anything in a single click

2 Cashless Transactions

The internet is very useful for many things, but what about making cashless transactions?

Have you ever thought about how much money you could save by using the internet for cashless transactions?

A lot of people probably haven't, but with the continued rise of mobile internet, it’s becoming more and more of a convenient option

Today you can also do cashless transactions using the Internet, that is, you can send money to anyone sitting at home and you can also ask for money from anyone in your bank account

3 Uses of the Internet for job search

Use the internet to find the job you want There are many ways to use the internet to find a job

You can apply directly to a company, look for jobs using a search engine, or use a job search website

The internet gives job seekers a variety of tools to find the perfect position It also allows them to network, research companies, and learn about the job before applying The internet has made it easier for job seekers to search for jobs, although not always easy to sift through the useless information

4 Uses of the Internet for communication

The internet has been a pivotal part of our lives for a while now It's a great way to keep in touch with family and friends, find a job or a date, and stay up-to-date on current events

But with the use of the internet in communication, there are a few things

to keep in mind

You need to be mindful of the amount of time you spend online, how you interact with people online, and the pictures you post

The internet has changed the way we communicate With a touch of a button, we can share thoughts, feelings, and ideas with a vast audience

We can even communicate with people we have never met in person

5 Uses of the Internet in education

The use of the Internet is being widely used in the field of education today so that the student can read anything through the Internet today Students have got a lot of benefits due to the advent of the Internet because today students solve any of their doubts through the Internet Today the internet is so fast that it gives you the answer to your question

6 Online booking

There is a lot of talk these days about online booking and the use of the internet The internet has made it easier for people to connect and communicate with each other

The internet has also made it easier for people to learn and find information that is not immediately available to them

However, online booking is becoming more and more popular as well More and more people are using the internet to make reservations for events like travel and food and movie tickets

Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the internet The search engines like Google, Yahoo are at your service through the internet There is a huge amount of information available on the internet for just about every subject known to man, ranging from government law and services, trade fairs and conferences, market

information, new ideas and technical support, the list is simply endless

We can use these search engines, websites dedicated to different

subjects and large amounts of articles and papers are available for

perusal in a matter of a few seconds

This is particularly relevant for students who can use this wealth of information for their school projects and also learn new things about the subjects they are interested in In fact this internet is for many schools and universities that are now able to assign projects and work to the students and follow their progress which can be easily posted on the school or university internal websites Online education has grown at a very fast pace since the internet allows the development and uses of innovative tools for imparting education University students and

lecturers can communicate through the internet Besides, some

universities are also offering far distance courses to make study become more inefficient and convenient The Internet has become a gateway for those who want to learn but cannot afford the living fees at foreign countries

3 Thirdly, entertainment is another popular reason why many people

prefer to surf the internet In fact, the internet has become quite

successful in trapping the multifaceted entertainment industry

Downloading games or just surfing the celebrity websites are some of the uses people have discovered Even celebrities are using the internet effectively for promotional campaigns Besides that, there are numerous games that can be downloaded for free The industry of online gaming has tasted dramatic and phenomenal attention from game lovers The internet has also revolutionized the entertainment industry People nowadays have no need to go to a cinema hall to watch their favorite movie Instead of watching movies at the cinema now have companies offering their services where you just can download or order your

affected not just elders but kids also Kids as old as two years today use mobile phones to watch online videos on apps like Youtube The

Internet has increased their screen time and restricted their mental growth

2 Access to Wrong Information

The Internet is available for everyone, and anyone can add information here Hence the scope for wrong or false information arises Everyone can run a website, and there are many free blogging platforms on the Internet so everyone can give information on the Internet As a result, the Internet can possess wrong information, which is harmful to a user

It is one of the most important disadvantages of the Internet

3 Theft of Personal Information

When people use social networking websites or online banking services, they add their personal information like email ID, bank account number, credit card number, phone number, etc., in these places A person expert

in software or a hacker can easily retrieve this information and can cause

a massive loss to the users Hacker programs a harmful virus that gets into the computer system and destroys valuable data

The unnecessary emails, advertisements, calls that you receive every day are called spam Sometimes these spam emails or calls can enter your system and make the user face many problems Also, such spams are harassment for computer users and bad for the environment This spam

is stored in the inbox for many years and added to the server’s storage space

5 Virus Threat

The virus is a program that damages the functioning of computer

systems It comes through the Internet and can crash the total system within seconds Viruses and malware spread quickly through the

Internet, and total data on the device can get corrupted Many

multinational companies have faced huge losses in the past due to viruses in the system Cybersecurity today is one of the biggest concerns

in front of the IT department Many countries have passed specific laws for the same, but everything seems to be far-fetched today

6 Sensitive Information

The Internet contains a lot of sensitive information, which children must not access Today children are surfing the Internet more than adults
