INTERNET BASICS


INTERNET
·         A Network is a collection of two or more computers, which are connected together to share information and resources.
·         The Internet is a worldwide system of computer networks, i.e. network of networks. Through Internet, computers become able to exchange information with each other globally.

Advantages of Internet
1.    Greater access to information reduces research time.
2.    Allows you to easily communicate with other people.
3.    Global reach enables one to connect everyone on the Internet.
4.    Publishing documents on the Internet saves paper.
5.    A valuable resource for companies to advertise and conduct business.

Disadvantages of Internet
1.    Cyber frauds may take place involving credit/ debit card numbers and details.
2.    Unsuitable and undesirable material is available that sometimes can be used by notorious people such as terrorists.
3.    It is a major source of computer viruses.
4.    Messages sent across the Internet can be easily intercepted and are open to abuse by others.
5.    It is difficult to check the accuracy of information available on the Internet.

 Uses of Internet are as follows:
·         E-Commerce (auction, buying, selling products etc.)
·         Research (online journals, magazines, information etc.)
·         Education (E-learning, distance learning etc.)
·         E-Governance (online filling of application, Income Tax, Sales Tax etc.)
·         E-Reservation (online reservation, online ticket booking etc.)
·         Online Payments (credit and debit card payments etc.)
·         Video Conferencing
·         Exchange of Views (files, music, folders etc.)
·         Social Networking Sites (facebook, twitter etc.)
·         Entertainment (play music, videos, games etc.)

Computer Generations

 Computer Generations   Computers have evolved over time through different generations, each marked by significant technological advancements and changes in design and architecture. These generations are often categorized based on the underlying hardware and the key developments that distinguish one Generation from another. Let's explore the main computer generations: First Generation Computers    The First Generation of computers refers to the initial period of electronic computing, characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the primary electronic component. This Generation spans the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by groundbreaking developments in computer technology.  Examples of First-Generation Computers:  o ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer): Completed in 1945, ENIAC was one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. It was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army during World War ...

Programming in "C"

 Introduction   C is a general-purpose programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages and has influenced the development of many other languages, including C++, Java, and C#. C is known for its efficiency, flexibility, and low-level programming capabilities. It is commonly used for system programming, embedded systems, and developing operating systems. C is also a popular choice for developing applications that require high performance, such as game engines and scientific simulations.   Here are some key features and concepts of C programming:   Syntax: C has a relatively simple syntax compared to some other programming languages. It uses a combination of keywords, variables, data types, operators, and control structures to write programs.  Variables and Data Types: You declare variables to store data in C. Various d...

History of Language "C"

  History of C      The history of C programming dates back to the early 1970s when Dennis Ritchie created it at Bell Laboratories. Here's a brief timeline of the major milestones in the history of C:  1969: The development of C began as a successor to the B programming language, which Ken Thompson created. Dennis Ritchie wanted to improve upon B's capabilities and efficiency.  1972: The C programming language was developed primarily to support the development of the Unix operating system. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie rewrote Unix in C, which helped in porting the operating system to different computer architectures easily. 1978: The first edition of "The C Programming Language," also known as the "K&R C," was published. Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie wrote it, becoming the authoritative reference for C programming. 1983: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee to establish a standard for the C language. The ...
