    Study Notes

    Internet Connectivity

    • A connection line provides access to the internet, essential for various devices and applications.
    • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) offers broadband connections that enable high-speed internet, competing with traditional dial-up.
    • Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer various connection types, ensuring consistent access to digital services.

    How the Internet Works

    • Data transfers occur via packets, segments of information sent between computers over networks.
    • Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) structures web pages, allowing multimedia and interactive content.
    • URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) identify web pages, acting as addresses within the internet.

    IP Addressing and DNS

    • Every device connected to the internet possesses a unique IP address that ranges from 0 to 255 in four octets (e.g., 192.100.3.56).
    • The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses for easier navigation.
    • DNS facilitates user-friendly access to websites, eliminating the need to memorize numerical IP addresses.

    Internet Services

    • Search engines aggregate information from various sources, providing users with easy access to data.
    • Email operates through protocols like POP (Post Office Protocol), allowing communication without physical mail.
    • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a method for transferring files over networks efficiently.

    Key Concepts

    • The World Wide Web consists of interconnected documents called web pages, hosted on web servers.
    • A hyperlink connects web pages and helps to navigate between related content.
    • Internet protocols manage how data is sent and received, ensuring reliable communication.
