The Internet is one of the unique discoveries of science in the development of human civilization. The Internet is one of the pioneers of the world wide communication system. It is a computer based communication system. With the establishment of fast communication system through internet, countries all over the world seem to be close neighbors today. This arrangement has made the concept of āGlobal Villageā a reality. The Internet is now being used for a wide and multifaceted purpose. The Internet has made modern electronics technology a huge potential for human welfare.
*What is "Internet":
The Internet is an acronym for International Network. This system is a popular means of international communication. This system has developed as a method of computer network. Internet communication systems have been developed by connecting computers used in different countries around the world in a special way. This technology allows computer-based systems to collect and transmit information from anywhere in the world. Billions of customers, including countless educational institutions, laboratories, news organizations, and business organizations around the world, have connected to the Internet to build this great communication system. Connected to the Internet, computers, mobile phones or any similar device can collect information instantly. This requires a computer or similar device, modem and internet connection.
*Origin of the Internet:
The Internet is a modern invention. It was discovered in 1989 by the US Department of Defense. As a secret and secure means of communication, it has become an alternative to the telephone in the Department of Defense's laboratory. It is a communication method relying on telephone lines. The invention of the desktop computer led to the connection of the computer with the telenetwork. At that time its name was ARPANET. At one time the network underwent massive changes through artificial satellites. In the 1990's, the Internet spread all over the world. The use of optical fiber has played a pivotal role in the Internet revolution.
*Expansion of the Internet:
The system that the US Department of Defense started by connecting 4 computers increased to 36 in the next three years. In 1984, the US National Science Foundation introduced a system for public use. Shortly thereafter, it spread throughout the world. But even then the facilities were limited. The Internet was developed as a central network in the early 90's to control the entire system. Commercial use of the Internet began in 1993. It spread rapidly in a very short time. The number of internet users in the world today is over one hundred crore.
*Practical aspects of the Internet:
Here are some of the most widely used practical aspects of the Internet system
* E-mail: Electronic mail or e-mail is a quick way to exchange information.
* Web: How to view information stored on computers connected to the Internet.
* Net News: News stored in the Internet's database.
* Chat: Chat or text chat with two or more people online.
* Usenet: A repository of information open to the public.
* E-Cash: Economic transactions and commercial benefits.
*Harmful aspects of the Internet:
In addition to the multidimensional benefits of the Internet, it also has its negative aspects. Of course it depends on its use. At present, with the help of it, false news, displaying obscene and vulgar pictures and videos, threatening people, etc. are on the rise. These issues are destroying the youth and degrading the moral values. Some are spreading viruses with malicious intent, rendering numerous computers useless or damaged. Hackers are harming people in various ways by stealing information through the internet. There are also cases of hacking into other people's accounts and taking possession of money and property. Again, many people are being harmed by wasting extra time on Facebook. However, it is not the responsibility of the Internet, the user. Criminals are taking advantage of this.
Information and communication technology is the main driving force of all kinds of development activities in the world today. In this case, the more pioneers, the better. The Internet has now spread to space, conquering every level of our daily lives. But we are still lagging behind like other countries in the third world. We should promote the widespread and multidimensional use of the Internet to make the country more resilient to the modern world.
