interlinked networks relating to the business,

5. The history of the Internet began with the
development of electronic computers in
the 1950s. The public was first
introduced to the concepts that would
lead to the Internet when a message
was sent over the ARPANet from
computer science Professor Leonard
Kleinrock's laboratory at University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after the
second piece of network equipment was
installed atStanford

6. Professor Leonard
Kleinrock's
Leonard Kleinrock (born June 13, 1934) is an American
engineer and computer scientist. A computer science professor
at UCLA'sHenry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science,
he made several important contributions to the field of computer
networking, in particular to the theoretical side of computer
networking. He also played an important role in the development
of theARPANET, the precursor to the Internet, at UCLA.

7.  Internet has been the most useful technology of
the modern times which helps us not only in our

Software requirements.

10. Internet conection equipements
The modem of the pc has to be a minimum of 56Kbps with the
internal type configuration, or if the external type is used the fast
serial port hardware is also required. However more than the
modem the modern technologies of the DSL broadband connections
are much better to use and strongly recommended.
The software equipments for the internet connections are very few
and reasonably easy to follow. A web browser is generally needed
for the internet browsing and the visiting of the web sites. The most
commonly used web browsers are the Internet Explorer with the
version of 5 or later, and the Netscape 4.7. These browsers
generally require the plug-ins for the use of the Flash which is a very
common component of almost all internet web sites.

information on every aspect of the educational world over the internet. The
resources provided on various web pages are indeed very informative and
useful for professionals and students related to every field of work. The only
pre-requisite is the research over the internet for a specific educational topic,
and then this information just needs to be filtered to gain the basic
knowledge of what you are looking for. Therefore, these are true internet
resources which deal with every individual's educational needs.
Internet has also provided the opportunity to study online. There are virtual
universities set up, in which the students can take classes sitting on the
computer seat opening the university's website video section according the
topic, and then study at home.
