Modern Developments in the use of Internet

What is Internet?

The Internet is a global system of

interconnected computer networks

that use the standard Internet

protocol suite to serve billions of users

worldwide.

It is a network of networks that

consists of millions of private, public,

academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies.

Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email.

Some important modern developments in

the use of Internet are given below:– Web Browsers– ISPs– Wikis– Social Networking– Tagging– Blogs– Digital Media Sharing Websites– Podcasts– Bit Streaming

Web BrowsersA web browser is a software application for retrieving,

presenting, and traversing information resources on the

World Wide Web.

An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource

Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other

piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users

easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.

A web browser can also be defined as an application

software or program designed to enable users to access,

retrieve and view documents and other resources on the

Internet.

 Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World

Wide Web, they can also be used to access information

provided by web servers in private networks or files in file

systems.

The major web browsers are Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet

Explorer, Opera, and Safari

The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-

Lee. It was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later

renamed Nexus

ISPs

An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organization that provides access to the Internet.

Internet service providers can be either community-owned and non-profit, or privately owned and for-profit.

Access ISPs directly connect clients to the Internet using copper wires, wireless or fiber-optic connections. Hosting ISPs lease server space for smaller businesses and other people (collocation). Transit ISPs provide large amounts of bandwidth for connecting hosting ISPs to access ISPs

Wiki

“A Wiki is a Web site that allows anyone to add, delete, or revise content by using a web browser.”

 The primary characteristics of a wiki are easy collaborative document editing and creation. Wikis allow multiple people to easily contribute to the same document and track the modification to that document

A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site, using only a plain-vanilla Web browser without any extra add-ons

Social Networking

• A social networking service is an online service, platform, or site that focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relations among people, who, for example, share interests and/or activities.

• Online community services are sometimes considered as a social network service, though in a broader sense, social network service usually means an individual-centered service whereas online community services are group-centered. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, activities, events, and interests within their individual networks. 

• The main types of social networking services are those that contain category places (such as former school year or classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-description pages), and a recommendation system linked to trust.

TaggingTagging is a way of organizing and/or classifying information on the Internet. Sometimes it’s done by just one person (the content creator), and other times it can be done by a community (social tagging.)

Imagine that for every piece of content you upload you could attach little yellow stickies that help classify that content. A video of a day at the beach might be tagged, “beach”, “maine”, “children”, “ocean”, “mutant seal attack”, or anything else that would help properly identify that video for others.

On a blog, tagging a post is a lot like assigning categories. Blog categories help define the overreaching themes of the blog. On the flyte blog we have categories like, “analytics“, “entrepreneur and small business“, and “social media” where we place our individual posts. On your blog it should be categories that describe what you write about.

Tags perform a similar role, except that they are specific to the

post. If I were to write a post about Barack Obama’s use of

social media I might tag it “barack obama” but I wouldn’t add a

category called “Barack Obama” unless I planned on writing

about our 44th president on a regular basis.

Digital Media Sharing Websites

“Digital Media sharing sites are those which provide the means for a user to upload their digital media (Textual content, images, audio and video) to a third party online server, where they are stored and hosted for public or private access and display.”

Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo content that has been encoded (digitally compressed).  

Digital media is a form of electronic media where data are stored in digital (as opposed to analog) form. It can refer to the technical aspect of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk drives or computer networking) of information or to the "end product", such as digital video, augmented reality or digital art.

PodcastsPodcasting is online audio content that is delivered via an RSS feed. Many people liken podcasting to radio on demand. However, in reality, podcasting gives far more options in terms of content and programming than radio does.In addition, with Podcasting, listeners can determine the time and the place, meaning they decide what programming they want to receive and when they want to listen to it.Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among the techie crowd. So what is podcasting, anyway? Listeners can retain audio archives to listen to at their leisure. While blogs have turned many bloggers into journalists, podcasting has the potential to turn podcasters into radio personalities. Podcasting can be used for: 1. Self-Guided Walking Tours - Informational content.2. Music - Band promotional clips and interviews.3. Talk Shows - Industry or organizational news, investor news, sportscasts, news coverage and commentaries.4. Training - Instructional informational materials.5. Story - Story telling for children or the visually-impaired.

Bit StreamingA bit stream is a contiguous sequence of bits, representing a stream of data, transmitted continously over a communications path, serially (one at a time).A bitstream or bit stream is a time series or sequence of bits. A bytestream is a series of bytes, typically of 8 bits each, and can be regarded as a special case of a bitstream. Bitstreams are used extensively in telecommunications and computing: for example, the SDH communications technology transports synchronous bitstreams, and the TCP communications protocol transports a byte stream without synchronous timing.The term bitstream is frequently used to describe the configuration data to be loaded into a field programmable gate array (FPGA). This usage may have originated based on the common method of configuring the FPGA from a serial bit stream, typically from a serial PROM or flash memory chip, although most FPGAs also support a byte-parallel loading method as well. The detailed format of the bitstream for a particular FPGA chip is usually considered proprietary to the FPGA vendor. .
