The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the Arpa net . The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other universities. A side benefit of ARPANet's design was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster.

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative, and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguishes the Internet is its use of a set of protocols called TCP

For many Internet users, electronic mail (Email) has practically replaced the Postal Service for short written transactions. Electronic mail is the most widely used application on the Net. You can also carry on live "conversations" with other computer users, using Internet Relay Chat IRC. More recently,Internet telephony hardware and software allows real-time voice conversations. (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two recent adaptations of Internet technology, the internet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP protocol.



The most widely used part of the Internet is the word wide web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web"). Its outstanding feature is hyper text, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are "clickable." If you move the pointer over a spot on a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you can click and be transferred to another site.

Using the Web, you have access to millions of pages of information. Web browsing is done with a Web browser, the most popular of which are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The appearance of a particular Web site may vary slightly depending on the browser you use. Also, later versions of a particular browser are able to render more "bells and whistles" such as animation, virtual reality, sound, and music files, than earlier versions.

Internet is a tool, tools for everyone which you can use it for anything, for making money, opening a shop, writing a poem, and selling human's body and so on. In this area, everyone tries to have a benefit of it and the problem starts from this area of beneficial of situation. The companies are the most important parts of internet and the people from anywhere are the most targets for these companies.

It seems that the internet can give you everything and you enjoy it a lot. Every second go for internet and check email, Facebook and websites which are related to social networks. Sometimes you go for news website and check every news or part of them. You don’t care what is going to happen or what is actually happening for you. You melt yourself into internet. 

It’s difficult to notice the true or lie into this deep technology. Well, for me, I can’t really make a difference between them. I’m part of it. Part of productivity, part of people who are lost and they think they found their way. Anything can break us, any news can deceive us easily and any angel can use us like a devil. The purity doesn’t have any meaning on the internet. Everything is open and you can’t close anything.

However, we always say that we can’t live without internet; we will be completely disconnected from the rest of the world without internet. But how can we survive from internet when we live and die with it. How can we live the rest of our life with all these lies? Can we?

What is Internet?

actually the internet is the same as other facilities which has some advantages and also disadvantages.we should choose which of them we need.it is not a good idea to say which part of the using the net is correct and which is not true.

some of the people use the net to make a research and find some information/data to raise their knowledge which is naturally a great idea but the other group use those research of their demon purpose and working as a hacker to get some advantages,So which one is correct?

actually everything in this world and also in this virtual world is up to us to get the things we need.what sort of the things we need to reach?

the most important part of that is the using net for the everyday purposes such as shipping online,connecting with second,educational and ... .during these goals we need to be careful about our circle.everything may be happen such as cheating,misunderstanding,spam and junk emails.

using the internet is the same as a coin which it has to side,good VS bad.

I believe that Internet is a really good helper for us to have an easy life, it helps us to find the answer of our questions, finding the place, finding the goods that we need with many details from it, finding home, cars and many other things just by using some clicks and type it on the Google or many other research sites.

Besides of these benefits there are many persons whom want to misuse the users of Internet. So the person that uses Internet should be careful about those misuse persons. And there are many ads in Internet for defrauder the users.

Believing in the internet

The internet has changed the way i think (for the better), it made my life easier, i can look for an answers in just a seconds, and i can find the latest news by some clicks, i often believe what's on the internet, but that depends on the site, there is two different types of sites, Real sites which is reliable and contain all the correct information, for example, Wikipedia, almost all the information are correct and real, the other type of sites is called fake sites, absolutely opposite of the real sites, incorrect and inaccurate information, i've seen many ads saying "Win a million Dollar in less than a month" or "You're our 999999th visitor! You win $1000", obviously, it's a spam site spreading rumors and lies, i don't believe in all these stuff, but talking about the real sites, yes i do believe in this part of the internet, it gives me all the clues I'll need, and all the things i want to know.

e.g. ads leads you to a fake site
