Slide 1: What is the Internet?

1. Definition:
a. The internet is a worldwide network of computers that are interconnected.
These computers can share informatio n, communicate, and perform tasks
together.
b. It connects millions of devices, like computers, smartphones, and servers,
across the globe.
2. Purpose:
a. It helps users access information like news, research, and entertainment.
b. It enables people to communicate globally, for example, through emails,
video calls, and social media.
3. How It Works:
a. The internet uses a system of undersea cables, satellites, and servers.
These technologies work together to transfer data between devices.
4. Example to Explain:
a. Think of the internet as a spider web, where each device is a point on the
web. When one point sends data (like a message or a file), it travels through
the web to reach the other point.

Slide 2: What is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)?

1. Definition:
a. An ISP is a company that gives you access to the internet. Without an ISP,
your computer or phone cannot connect to the web.
2. Services Provided:
a. ISPs offer:
i. Internet connections (e.g., DSL, fiber optic, satellite).
ii. Email services (like Gmail).
iii. Web hosting for creating websites.
iv. Domain registration (choosing names for websites).
3. Example to Explain:
a. If the internet is a highway, the ISP is the company that gives you a car and a
road pass to access the highway.
Slide 3: How ISPs Work

1. Internet Backbone:
a. The internet backbone is a super-fast network of cables and servers that
form the "core" of the internet. ISPs connect to this backbone.
2. User Connection:
a. Users connect to an ISP using devices like modems or routers. These
devices send and receive data between your home and the ISP’s network.
3. Data Transmission:
a. The ISP acts as a middlem an. It takes the data (like a video) from the internet
and delivers it to your device. Similarly, it takes data from your device (like a
message) and sends it to the internet.
4. Example to Explain:
a. Imagine a post office. The ISP is like a post office delivering letters (data)
between senders and receivers.

Slide 4: Types of ISPs

1. Residential ISPs:
a. These are for individual users at home. Examples: PTCL, Comcast, or
Spectrum.
2. Business ISPs:
a. These provide services to companies. They offer faster speeds and extra
features like static IPs for websites.
3. Mobile ISPs:
a. These use mobile networks (like 4G and 5G) to provide internet to phones
and tablets. Examples: Jazz, Verizon, or T-Mobile.
4. Example to Explain:
a. Show how your phone’s data plan is a mobile ISP, while your home Wi-Fi is a
residential ISP.

Slide 5: Benefits of ISPs

1. Access to Information:
a. ISPs allow users to explore the internet, from reading the news to watching
videos on YouTube or researching on Google.
2. Global Communication:
a. Through ISPs, people can connect worldwide via emails, social media, and
video calls.
3. E-commerce:
a. ISPs make online shopping possible, allowing users to buy and sell goods on
platforms like Amazon or eBay.
4. Remote Work and Education:
a. ISPs enable online learning (like Zoom classes) and remote working, which
became crucial during the pandemic.
5. Example to Explain:
a. Ask your audience, “Can you name an activity you do online daily?” Relate
their answers to the role of ISPs.

Slide 6: Challenges Faced by ISPs

1. Infrastructure Costs:
a. ISPs need to invest heavily in fiber optic cables, satellites, and servers to
provide internet services.
2. Competition:
a. Many ISPs compete with each other. They must offer faster speeds and
better prices to attract customers.
3. Cybersecurity Threats:
a. ISPs face risks like hacking and cyberattacks, which can disrupt services or
steal data.
4. Regulatory Hurdles:
a. Governm ents have rules ISPs must follow, such as protecting user privacy or
ensuring fair pricing.
5. Example to Explain:
a. Compare this to running a business: to succeed, you need to invest money,
compete with others, and follow laws.

Slide 7 : Impact of the ISP on Society

 Positive Effects:
o Improved access to education (online courses).
o Enhanced communication (social media, emails).
o Economic benefits (e-comm erce, freelancing opportunities).
 Negative Effects:

o Spread of misinform ation.
 Discussion Ǫuestion:

Slide 8: Choosing an ISP

1. Speed:
a. Higher speeds are better for activities like streaming videos or gaming.

5. Additional Services:
a. Some ISPs provide bonuses like free email accounts or web hosting services.
6. Example to Explain:
a. Ask: “What’s more important to you—speed, price, or suppo rt?” Let the
audience share their views.
