LESSON DISCUSSION
Computers by themselves are useful tools. Once they are linked with one another, computers
can communicate and share resources. This network improves the day-to-day life by adding value and
usefulness to the computers.
BASICS OF NETWORKING
The primary reasons for networking computers are to share information, to share hardware and
software, and to centralize administration and support.
A computer network consists of a collection of computers, printers, and other equipment that
are connected together so that they can communicate with one another. The illustration below is an
example of a network in a school. Comprising of a Local Area Network (LAN) connecting computers
with each other, the Internet, and various servers.
With the availability and power of today’s personal computers, you might ask why networks are
needed. From the earliest networks to today’s high-powered personal computers, the answer has
remained the same: networks increase efficiency and reduce costs. Computer networks achieve these
goals in three primary ways:
1. Sharing information or data;
2. Sharing hardware and software; and
3. Centralizing administration and support.
File Sharing
It is a practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs,
multimedia (audio, images, and video), documents, or electronic books. File sharing may be achieved
in a number of ways. Common methods of storage, transmission, and dispersion include manual
sharing utilizing removable media, centralized serves on computer networks, World Wide Web-based
hyperlinked documents, and the use of distributed peer-to-peer networking.
In many situations, files can be shared online or offline. Examples of transmitting files online are
uploading photos in social media, downloading movies, and other activities that use Internet
connection.
Peer-to-peer networks are good for small business organizations such as a small pharmacy
outlet, an automobile service center, a small clinic, ect. The main disadvantages of peer-to-peer
networks are listed below:
As the organization’s network grows, they must gradually upgrade their peer-to-peer network client-
server-based network.
Client/Server
The client/server computer network model is made-up of client computers and server
computers. Now we need to understand the terms client and server.
A computer that seeks any resource from another computer is a client computer. You can think
of a client as a computer in your network, where a network user is performing some network activity like
downloading a file from a file server, browsing the Internet, etc. the network user normally uses a client

LESSON DISCUSSION
The Internet is a network used by almost everyone around the globe. It is used to access valuable
information through sites developed by skillful people to share personal knowledge. It also allows
people to communicate with one another through email, instant messaging, or chat. The Internet serves
many purposes, primary of these are interconnection and information sharing. There is almost no limit
to what you can do online. With the Internet, it is easy to quickly find information, communicate with
people around the world, manage your finances, shop from home, listen to music, watch videos, and
more. Now, imagine the world without the Internet. How do you think would people do these things
without the Internet?
THE INTERNET
The Internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices. It is the most
widespread network with nearly 2 billion users. In its early conception, the Internet began as a small
network for simple data exchange. Today however, it is used in many industries and is indispensable in
everyday life. The following are just some ways in which the Internet has penetrated society:
Banking and Finance: Internet banking (paying bills, transferring funds, access to account,
etc.), electronic trading (stocks, various goods, intellectual services, etc).
Socializing: social networks, online forums
News and Trends: news portals, blogs, etc.
Healthcare: diagnosing diseases, setting appointments for medical examinations, exchanging
medical data between hospitals and institutes, surgery and remote surgery monitoring.
Education: online universities with webinars (web + seminar), websites with tutorials, expert
advice, etc.
The Internet has many applications that create a huge social impact. Perhaps its most important
trait is information exchange, because information exchange among people enables collaboration.
Aside from the Internet, there are other forms of computer networks that are important. These are the
Intranet and the Extranet.
Intranet is the private network of an organization to which only authorized employees have
access (log in and password), while the Extranet is part of Intranet, to which independent collaborators
have access.
Downloading means receiving data or a file from the Internet on your computer. Uploading
means sending data or a file from your computer to somewhere on the Internet. These terms describe
activities you may have already learned how to do. If you've ever opened a document in one of the
attachments in your email, you've downloaded that file. If you've ever taken a photo and shared this on
Facebook or another social media site, you've uploaded that photo.
Bit rate represents speed at which data is transferred through a modem (network). It is
measured in bit/s (bit per second). Bit is a measurement unit for speed of digital data flow through the
network. The number of bits transferred in one second tells us how many bits can be transferred
through a network in one second.
1,000 bit/s rate = 1 Kbit/s (one kilobit or one thousand bits per second)
1,000,000 bit/s rate = 1 Mbit/s (one megabit or one million bits per second)
1,000,000,000 bit/s rate = 1 Gbit/s (one gigabit or one billion bits per second)
Speed of data flow can be expressed in bytes per second or bits per second. One byte has
eight bits.
TYPES OF INTERNET SERVICE
The type of Internet service you choose will largely depend on which Internet service providers
(ISPs) serve your area, along with the types of service they offer. The following are common types of
Internet service:
1. Dial-up - Dial-up Internet uses your phone line to connect your computer to the Internet.
While connected to the Internet, your landline phone cannot make or receive calls.
2. DSL - This connection type uses a broadband connection, which makes it faster than dial-up.
DSL connects to the Internet via a phone line but does not require you to have a landline at home.
3. Cable - Cable service connects to the Internet via cable TV, although you do not necessarily
need to have cable TV in order to get it. It just makes use of the cable lines to hook up to the Internet.
4. Satellite - A satellite connection uses broadband but does not require cable or phone lines; it
connects to the Internet through powerful signals coming from satellites orbiting the Earth.

LESSON DISCUSSION
In recent years, the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) have become more and more
popular as information resources. Many people believe that the WWW is the same as the Internet. This
is untrue. In this lesson, you will learn how the Web has popularized the use of the Internet and how
this program runs and benefits the millions of computer users when using the Internet around the world.
Google is an example of a popular search engine that runs on the Internet. It is a collection of
interlinked documents that work together using a special computer language called a protocol. This
language allows millions of web documents or pages to be accessed instantly with a click of a button.
Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web. The first trials of the World Wide Web were at
the CERN laboratories (one of Europe's largest research laboratories) in Switzerland in December
1990.
By 1991, browser and web server software were made available, and by 1992 a few preliminary
sites existed in places like the University of Illinois. The first search engines began to appear in the mid-
1990s, and it didn't take long for Google to come in the scene.
In its early days, the Web was mainly used for displaying information. Online shopping and
online purchase of goods came a little bit later. The first large commercial site was Amazon, a
company which in its initial days concentrated solely on book markets. By 1998 there were 750,000
commercial sites on the World Wide Web. All these developments rapidly changed the way traditional
markets worked.
The first part of URL is called protocol. In the URL above, the protocol is the HTTP which
enables the web browsing. HTTP or HyperText Transfer Protocol allows the computers in the World
Wide Web to interface with one another. It provides a set of instructions for precise information
exchange.
The domain name is the second part of the URL. It is a text name that corresponds to the IP
address of the server that serves the web site. Text name is easier to remember that is why domain
name is used instead of the IP address. In our example, the domain name is www.citytech.cuny.edu
There are domain names that end with .com (for commercial), .edu (for education), .org (for
organization),.info (for information), com.ph (for Philippines), co.jp (for Japan), and many more.
Extension Type of Site Example
.com Commercial or for profit business www.microsoft.com
.edu Educational institution www.yale.edu
.gov Government www.irs.gov
.org Professional or nonprofit organization www.pbs.org
.net Web-hosting companies involved in the www.asp.net
infrastructure of the Internet
Another part of the URL identifies the directory name or the folder name. It is the actual
location of the file you want to access. When creating links, Sure that the directory exists and contains
the file you want to link. In the given example, the name of the directory or folder is webpages. A
directory may consist of one or more sub directories.
The last part of the URL is the file name: about.html. In creating links, make sure that the file
exists and make sure to use the appropriate file extension (such as .htm, .html, etc.).
TYPES OF WEBSITES
When you're looking for information online, it's a good idea to be aware of the different types of
websites available and the kind of information they contain. on what you're looking for, you may find
that certain types are more relevant to your search than others. Let's take a look at some of the most
common types of websites.
1. Commercial sites - are websites that promote or give information about their products or services.
2. Organizations - - are websites that promote a cause or provide information about it.
3. News sites - are websites that contain news and TV information. News websites are usually updated
frequently, and older articles may be kept on the site for years. modify content. The most famous
4. Blog - is short for web log. It is a site used to find the latest information about a company, person, or
topic (like technology).
5. Wiki - is a site that lets users add or example is Wikipedia, which is an online encyclopedia.
6. School Sites – contain general information about the school, faculty, students, and other school-
related content.
Online Privacy
It is extremely important to protect your online privacy by following these important guidelines:
Never give out personal information unless a parent or guardian allows you to.
If you do give out personal information, make sure you know who is receiving the information
and that it is secure.
Use different usernames and passwords for different sites.
Organizations and individuals may use firewalls. This is a hardware or software that protects a
computer or network from intruders to protect their computers and users' personal information. They
may also use blocking or filtering software to prevent a user from viewing certain kinds of sites.
