Video Feature... - History of the Internet

Week 2 - Social Media

'I can't live without the internet' that is just an understatement to how much I rely on it to get my life going. I check my mails daily and watch videos from Youtube and Veoh. I need the internet to do research for my projects ranging from articles to pictures to videos. And i get my daily dose of news from the internet too. it has replaced my traditional ways of reading from a book, newspapers or watching from television. And sometime i find it too tedious to go to every single website to check if they have updated any articles, so i use RSS ( Rich Site Summary ) to list down the latest updates without me going through every one of them.

I'm still pretty new to Podcast and the first time i heard it was from the Mr. Brown Show. It was the Prime Minister's speech and he turned it to a different phrase, 'Mai Hum'. haa haa... actually i find it troublesome to listen to Podcast. why do i have to go all the way to download their conversation just to listen to their views when i can hear these from the radio or from the news? Now i only listen to podcast once in a while for movie reviews like flimjunk and that's about it. ____________________________________________________________________

Week 1 - History of Internet.

I've been introduced to the internet when i was Pri 5 when i had to go and find pictures of birds for my Young Scientist Card. My dad taught me and showed me around Google and Yahoo. i was fasinated but did not really bother where do these information come from. Now i rely it everyday for my mail, work and entertainment. For me internet was just a 'fun box' till i got to know more about it in this module.



Here is a brief History of the internet.








as complicated as internet is now, it started out just as a defensive tool for USA then to scholars and researchers, finally for public usage.



Internet and Intranet.



the main difference between these two terms are the way it spreads it's information. Intranet is like a sub-set of Internet. it does have the same function, have the same softwares. Just that the information shared are within a certain group of people like school or office computers, where as for the internet, information is passed on to anyone around the globe.

Internet address and domains.




Internet domains and address are as important as out own names. It makes them unique and also makes it easier for one to track down a certain website when needed. From this video i realised that we can also try trying out the IP address instead of the actual domain name to go in a certain website. So i tired it out and here is this webpage's IP address : 64.233.189.191

Try it! =D

hi there world!
