INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET

       The internet is a world wide network of computer that connect university, government, commercial, and other computer in over 150 countries.. Using the internet, you can send electronic mail, chat with colleagues around the world, and obtain information on a wide variety of subjects.

                                   The Internet
 
     The internet is increasingly playing a vital roles in all our lives, so It's all the important to understand how it works and how you can get the best from it.
     In a very summarised nutshell, the internet began life in the 1960s as a way for the US Defence Department to share information between computers. Fast forward 30years and in 1989 Tim Berners- Lee proposed the "World Wide Web", allowing  "Interlinked hypertext documents" ( such as web pages) to be viewable. And consequently making well presented online Information available to the public.

                               
    Now we use those hypertext documents for everything from banking to checking what's on TV tonight. Local council are increasingly adding important information to their websites in a bid to reach residents in times of emergency ( e.g water supply problems in Northern Ireland over Christmas 2010) and whether you are a farmer applying for a license or freelancer paying your tax return, you're increasingly being asked to do such tasks online.

  The internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The invention of the telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities. The internet is at once World-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism  for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individual and their computers without regard for geographic location.

     The internet represents one of the benefits of the most successful , examples of the benefits of sustained investment and commitment to research and development of information infrastructure.
