THE INTERNET
The internet emerged
in the United States in
the 1970s but did not
become visible yet to
the general public until
the early 1990s.
It has since become an
essential part of our
daily lives.
WHO OWNS THE
INTERNET?
There are two answers to the
question of who owns the
internet:
1. NO ONE
2. EVERYONE
THE INTERNET 10
No one
No one owns the internet
If thinking of the internet as a single unified entity, no one owns it.
While a few organizations may determine the internet’s structure,
they don’t have ownership over the internet itself. No company or
government can claim ownership of it. The internet is more of a
concept than an actual tangible entity, and it relies on a physical
infrastructure that connects networks to other networks.
Everyone
Everyone owns the internet
At the same time, thousands of people and organizations own
the internet. These smaller systems each have an owner, and
these owners can control the quality and level of access one has
to the internet. They may not own the entire system, but they
can impact your internet experience.
THE INTERNET 11
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INTERNET…
The Internet started in the 1960s
as a way for government
researchers to share information.
Computers in the '60s were large
and immobile and in order to make
use of information stored in any one
computer, one had to either travel
to the site of the computer or have
magnetic computer tapes sent
through the conventional postal
system.
THE INTERNET 12
Another catalyst in the formation of the Internet was the
heating up of the Cold War.
Students:
They use the internet for
research, homework, and
learning new things. They also
use it to communicate with
their teachers and classmates.
Professionals:
Many people use the
internet for work-related
tasks. This includes sending
emails, conducting research,
attending virtual meetings,
and collaborating on projects.
Businesses:
Businesses use the
internet for marketing, selling
products, providing customer
service, and gathering
Government organizations:
They use the internet to
provide services,
communicate with citizens,
and share information.
Everyday people:
Many people use the
internet for personal reasons,
such as connecting with
friends and family, shopping,
entertainment, and staying
informed about current
events.
COMPONENTS OF THE INTERNET
There are three basic components
of the internet:

CLIENT
it is the computer that connects
with a remote computer or server
to request information.
The data interaction primarily
occurs between the client and the Click icon to add picture

The device or programme is set
up in the way that they provide
the appropriate information to
the client. This functionality of
client and server works on a

The server performs several tasks
in order to deliver the right
information for each request.
From investigating the client’s
permission of data access to
formatting numerous responses in
order to fetch the most accurate Click icon to add picture
on within minutes.
In the language of networking,
protocols can be defined as a set of
rules that guide data transmission
between computing devices. These
rules make sure that the data

The most important internet protocols are –
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and
Internet Protocol (IP).
Every single commuting device has its own
unique IP address. These unique addresses
make it easier for computers to recognize
each other. The TCP/IP protocols make the
data request and receiving possible
between two computers via server.
In today’s world, use of the
internet has become easier and
faster than ever before. The
Internet represents the preferred
means of communication,

CHATS AND INSTANT
MESSAGING
CHATS AND INSTANT
MESSAGING
The terms “chat” and “instant messaging” have most probably
been interchanged confusingly by both business owners and end-
users.
At first glance, both terms seem and sound like both convey
basically one and the same thing, especially in the context of
communication.
In the online setting, however, these two terms convey different
forms of keeping in touch. There is a huge difference between
chatting and instant messaging.
Although chat allows users and even businesses to send instant
messages to friends, colleagues and customers, instant message
is still not considered the same as chat.
WHAT IS
CHAT?
Chat messaging was developed and launched during the 1970’s. The
main goal for its design and conception was to give people the ability to
chat with groups of people instantaneously.
In the past, the use of the internet was more costly and the charges
incurred were based on the duration spent by a person online. Due to the
expensive costs of the internet then, it left a decline in the number of
people using chat.
Chat basically transpires in a virtual chat room. It is a forum where
multiple people connect with each other, discuss their shared interest,
and send messages and images to everyone all at once.
The people that comprise a chat room do not always have to be initially
affiliated or connected for them to be able to send and receive messages
from each other.
To this day, more new applications and platforms are being developed to
WHAT IS INSTANT
MESSAGING (IM)?
Instant messaging is usually more suited for a one-on-one
conversation between two individuals. IM’s strong gravitation
towards one-on-one interaction is what marks one of the key
difference between instant messaging and chat.
Instant messaging was released in the year 1960, when
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed the
platform, they allowed up to 30 users to log and send messages to
each other. It enables users to keep a list of people or contacts to
communicate with.
The concept of instant messaging grew in popularity as
advancements in technology continued to progress. It was in 1996
that instant messaging began to dominate the lifestyles of internet

It may also use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to serve
the website over a secure, encrypted connection.
The web browser uses these protocols on top of the Internet protocols, so
every HTTP request also uses TCP and IP.
The Web is just one of the applications built on top of the Internet protocols,
but it is by far the most popular.
DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS) PROTOCOL
It gives us humans an easy way to identify
where we want to go on the Internet.
third-level-domain
second-level-domain
top-level-domain
1) There are a limited set of top level domains
(TLDs), and many websites use the most
common TLDs:
".com",
".org",
".edu".
2) The second level domain is unique to the company or
organization that registers it, like;
"wikipedia" or "khanacademy"
The first part of the URL is the scheme, which indicates the
protocol that the browser must use to request the resource (a
protocol is a set method for exchanging or transferring data
around a computer network). Usually for websites the protocol
is HTTPS or HTTP (its unsecured version). Addressing web
pages requires one of these two, but browsers also know how
to handle other schemes such as
mailto: (to open a mail client), so don't be surprised if you see
other protocols.
2) Authority
Next follows the authority, which is separated from the scheme by the
character pattern ://. If present the authority includes both
the domain (e.g. www.example.com) and the port (80), separated by a colon:
•The domain indicates which Web server is being requested. Usually this
is a domain name, but an IP address may also be used (but this is rare as
it is much less convenient).
•The port indicates the technical "gate" used to access the resources on
the web server. It is usually omitted if the web server uses the standard
ports of the HTTP protocol (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS) to grant
access to its resources. Otherwise it is mandatory.
3) Path to resource
1.Google Chrome
This is a popular web browser created by Google.
Due to its quickness, brevity, and seamless interaction with the
Google ecosystem, it soon became popular after its initial release in
2008.
Google Chrome is well known for its rapid and effective
performance, making it a top pick for individuals looking for
seamless surfing and quick web page loading.
Google Chrome was not invented by a single individual, but rather
developed by a team of engineers at Google.
The project was led by Sundar Pichai, who is now the CEO of Google
and its parent company, Alphabet.
2. Safari
The default web browser created by Apple Inc. is called Safari.
The default browser for iOS, macOS, and other Apple products was
originally made available in 2003. When it comes to consumer
privacy, energy efficiency, and integration with the Apple
ecosystem, Safari is renowned.
It is known for its fast and smooth performance, It also has a clean
and intuitive interface that makes it easy for users to navigate and
find what they need.
Safari is not formally offered on other systems like Windows or
Android because it was primarily created for Apple devices.Users
who prefer a consistent browsing experience across all devices may
find this to be a disadvantage.
Safari was developed by a team of engineers at Apple Inc., led by
Don Melton.
The team worked on creating a new web browser for Apple devices,
specifically for Mac OS X. The initial version of Safari was released
3. Microsoft Edge
Microsoft created the Microsoft Edge web browser, which replaced
Internet Explorer in 2015.
Microsoft switched to the Chromium engine in 2020 from its original
proprietary engine, which is the same open-source project that drives
Google Chrome. This modification enhanced its functionality,
compatibility, and general browsing experience.
Microsoft Edge's performance, rendering capabilities, and support for
current web standards all significantly improved after switching to the
Chromium engine
4. Opera
Opera Software created this feature-rich web browser. Since its
initial 1995 release, it has developed to offer a variety of
distinctive features with a focus on speed, security, and user
customization.
Opera has an ad blocker that efficiently eliminates annoying
adverts, resulting in a faster and cleaner browsing experience.
Additionally, Opera provides a free VPN service that enables
5. Mozilla Firefox
Foundation created the open-source web browser
Mozilla Firefox. Since its initial release in 2004, it
has grown to rank among the most widely used
browsers worldwide.
The dedication of Firefox to user privacy, security,
and customization possibilities is well known.
Mozilla Firefox prioritizes user privacy.
It has features like Enhanced Tracking Protection,
which disables third-party trackers, and the choice
to use Private Browsing mode, which prevents
cookies or history from being saved as you browse
the internet.
The Mozilla team, led by the American developers
Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross, sought to create a light
THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WEB
User experience (UX) is a
term that refers to how an
individual interacts with a
system, such as a website or
mobile application. It
encompasses all aspects of the
user’s interaction, including
visual design, navigation,
functionality, performance, and
content.

the context menu that appears. A browse dialog box appears asking you
to select the location in the drive and the name of the image to be saved.
6. Printing Web Pages:
There can be various reasons to print a website, and most browsers
provide this facility. In many browsers, we also have the option to save the
webpage as a PDF document. Both printing and saving the page as pdf
options can be found in the print window. To access it, press “Ctrl+P” or
right-click the page and select “Print” from the menu that appears.
