use of Internet

2. What is Internet?
The Internet is a global system of
interconnected computer networks
that use the standard Internet
protocol suite to serve billions of users
worldwide.
It is a network of networks that
consists of millions of private, public,
academic, business, and government networks, of local to global
scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and
optical networking technologies.
Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and
services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World
Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email.

3. Some important modern developments in
the use of Internet are given below:
– Web Browsers
– ISPs
– Wikis
– Social Networking
– Tagging
– Blogs
– Digital Media Sharing Websites
– Podcasts
– Bit Streaming

4. Web Browsers
A web browser is a software application for
retrieving, presenting, and traversing information
resources on the World Wide Web.
An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other
piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users
easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.
A web browser can also be defined as an application software
or program designed to enable users to access, retrieve
and view documents and other resources on the Internet.
Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World
Wide Web, they can also be used to access information
provided by web servers in private networks or files in file
systems.
The major web browsers are Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet
Explorer, Opera, and Safari
The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-
Lee. It was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later
renamed Nexus

5. ISPs
An Internet service provider (ISP) is an
organization that provides access to the
Internet.
Internet service providers can be either
community-owned and non-profit, or
privately owned and for-profit.
Access ISPs directly connect clients to the
Internet using copper wires, wireless or
fiber-optic connections. Hosting ISPs lease
server space for smaller businesses and
other people (collocation). Transit ISPs
provide large amounts of bandwidth for
connecting hosting ISPs to access ISPs

6. Wiki
“A Wiki is a Web site that allows
anyone to add, delete, or revise
content by using a web
browser.”
The primary characteristics of a wiki
are easy collaborative document
editing and creation. Wikis allow
multiple people to easily contribute
to the same document and track
the modification to that document
A wiki invites all users to edit any
page or to create new pages within
the wiki Web site, using only a
plain-vanilla Web browser without
any extra add-ons

7. Social Networking
• A social networking service is an online service, platform, or
site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks
or social relations among people, who, for example, share
interests and/or activities.
• Online community services are sometimes considered as a social
network service, though in a broader sense, social network service
usually means an individual-centered service whereas online
community services are group-centered. Social networking sites
allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within
their individual networks.
• The main types of social networking services are those that contain
category places (such as former school year or
classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-
description pages), and a recommendation system linked to trust.

9. Tagging
Tagging is a way of organizing and/or classifying
information on the Internet. Sometimes it’s done by just
one person (the content creator), and other times it can be
done by a community (social tagging.)
Imagine that for every piece of content you upload you could
attach little yellow stickies that help classify that content. A
video of a day at the beach might be
tagged, “beach”, “maine”, “children”, “ocean”, “mutant seal
attack”, or anything else that would help properly identify that
video for others.
On a blog, tagging a post is a lot like assigning categories. Blog
categories help define the overreaching themes of the blog. On
the flyte blog we have categories like, “analytics“, “entrepreneur
and small business“, and “social media” where we place our
individual posts. On your blog it should be categories that
describe what you write about.
Tags perform a similar role, except that they are specific to the
post. If I were to write a post about Barack Obama’s use of
social media I might tag it “barack obama” but I wouldn’t add a
category called “Barack Obama” unless I planned on writing
about our 44th president on a regular basis.

10. Digital Media Sharing Websites
“Digital Media sharing sites are those which
provide the means for a user to upload their
digital media (Textual
content, images, audio and video) to a third
party online server, where they are stored
and hosted for public or private access and
display.”
Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo
content that has been encoded (digitally
compressed).
Digital media is a form of electronic media
where data are stored in digital (as opposed to
analog) form. It can refer to the technical aspect
of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk
drives or computer networking) of information
or to the "end product", such as digital
video, augmented reality or digital art.

15. Podcasts
Podcasting is online audio content that is delivered via an
RSS feed. Many people liken podcasting to radio on
demand. However, in reality, podcasting gives far more
options in terms of content and programming than radio
does.
In addition, with Podcasting, listeners can determine the time
and the place, meaning they decide what programming they
want to receive and when they want to listen to it.
Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among the techie
crowd. So what is podcasting, anyway?
Listeners can retain audio archives to listen to at their leisure.
While blogs have turned many bloggers into
journalists, podcasting has the potential to turn podcasters into
radio personalities.
Podcasting can be used for:
1. Self-Guided Walking Tours - Informational content.
2. Music - Band promotional clips and interviews.
3. Talk Shows - Industry or organizational news, investor
news, sportscasts, news coverage and commentaries.
4. Training - Instructional informational materials.
5. Story - Story telling for children or the visually-impaired.

16. Bit Streaming
A bit stream is a contiguous sequence of
bits, representing a stream of data, transmitted
continously over a communications path, serially
(one at a time).
A bitstream or bit stream is a time series or sequence
of bits. A bytestream is a series of bytes, typically of 8
bits each, and can be regarded as a special case of a
bitstream. Bitstreams are used extensively in
telecommunications and computing: for example, the
SDH communications technology transports
synchronous bitstreams, and the TCP communications
protocol transports a byte stream without synchronous
timing.
The term bitstream is frequently used to describe the
configuration data to be loaded into a field
programmable gate array (FPGA). This usage may
have originated based on the common method of
configuring the FPGA from a serial bit stream, typically
from a serial PROM or flash memory chip, although
most FPGAs also support a byte-parallel loading
method as well. The detailed format of the bitstream
for a particular FPGA chip is usually considered
proprietary to the FPGA vendor. .
