1. What is the Web Browser?? And how does it work??

This allows anyone to browse the Web by simple point and click navigation, bypassing the need to know commands used in software languages..

And it works to program the or to interpret, and to display the translation of how to code an any language of the world..

2. What is bookmark??

= Is a page keeper. A reader inserts a bookmark into the pages of a book when he or she stops reading. This way when it's time to read again, the reader can open the pages where the bookmark is to find the place in the book where he or she left off at rather than trying to remember the page number. Bookmarks save having to flip through the book and read sentences trying to find the exact place to re-start reading the book. A bookmark can be made from many different materials from a simple piece of cardboard to a specially made plastic clip to an ornately embellished fabric creation. Bookmarks may be mass produced and sold in stores or may be hand made.

3. What is the purpose of a web [browser] cache?

= The purpose of the web cache is to stores copies of online files passing through it; subsequent requests for the same files may be satisfied from the cache if certain conditions are met, rather than being re-downloaded each time. Web caching can help organizations increase responsiveness of web applications and save bandwidth costs.

4. What is a web [browser] plugin?

=  Is used as a mechanism to get new people using a squeakland. In general, the browser plugin allows you to insert Squeaky interfaces into the middle of web pages, the same way that Java applets can be. Thus they smooth the transition from klunky, static web pages into the dynamic world of Squeak.

3. How do you customize search providers?

=Address bar search is the feature that allows you to search for a keyword entered in the address bar (location bar) without entering the search engine homepage. Firefox by default will look for the keyword entered in the address bar in Google search as it is usually set as the default search engine to manage address bar keywords. How ever, you might want to change it to suit your personal interest. It may sometimes can also be a case of hijacking: You install some programs that they change your search bar address bar search provider without asking for your permission example: so many toolbars like Alexa, Yahoo etc..

ACN112.Activity2 the internet

                                        "Impact of the Internet in our world today"

=Last time, I spent several hours on internet but did not realize how much time I had spent when I got up. I begin to think whether the time spent on it was useful: I had seen a lot of information and pictures but much of it was not very useful to me in my life. May be I would have been better off reading a book that I recently bought. But the internet gets a lot of suffers, people who spend time on it blogging, trading, exploring information, researching or social networking. It looks exciting and attractive. Above all facts, the truth is that internet is virtual. I fear that we may slowly have people who spend their entire time staring at computer screens, who live in their make-believe world. Unrestricted information may result in our cultural identity being destroyed. This may lead to cultural erosion.
One can easily access news, audio, video and graphics on net. Since one can get anything that one wants on a computer screen but I would like to say that one should not fear about cultural erosion. How long can we take refuge on censorship? Easy access to information is a boon and we may become more modern in our approach, discarding the negative things in our culture that hold us back. We Indians really have a wrong sense of protecting our culture. What is the harm in becoming like the world? If we exhibit narrow, parochial ways, we may lose out on developments taking place in the world. Today, Internet has its own advantages. It has grown to lakhs of folds as it was seen ten years ago. But whatever be its blessings, its negative impact can’t be ignored. This is the real danger, but the answer lies in using the technology possibility.
If all the bad impacts of internet are curbed then there is no harm in embracing it. Instead, let us look at new technologies and find ways how they will help us. Culture, in any case, is not static. It has changed in the past and it will continue to change in the future also. Can we afford to stand in a time warp and feel proud of our culture? It would be better to take part in the momentous challenges that technology brings forth. There is a phrase, "if you can't beat them, join them". Well, we can't beat the advancement of technology. So let’s join the progress and stop looking back. The cultural police may try to impose their own views upon us and would like us to go the Taliban way. It is our good fortune that good sense prevails in the end and we are not pushed into the eighteenth century by those who see a cultural invasion in everything...

 1.What made the internet reliable and efficient?
2.What principles applied in the Internet that could also be beneficial in other areas?
             
In your own words, explain the TCP/IP Protocol Suite (Internet Model). Minimum of 250 words,  500 maximum.
= is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network either an Internet or  Extranet. When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message. The lower layer IP, handles the address part of each packet so that it gets to the right destination.Each gateway computer on the network checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets from the same message are routed differently than others, they'll be reassembled at the destination.
Many Internet users are familiar with the even higher layer application protocols that use TCP/IP to get to the Internet. These include the World Wide Web's Hypertext Transfer Protocol http, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet which lets you logon to remote computers, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP These and other protocols are often packaged together with TCP/IP as a "suite."
Protocols related to TCP/IP include the User Datagram Protocol UDP, which is used instead of TCP for special purposes. Other protocols are used by network host computers for exchanging router information. These include the Internet Control Message Protocol ICMP, the Interior Gateway Protocol IGP, the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), and the Border Gateway Protocol BGP.
