What is the difference between the World Wide Web (WWW) and the Internet?
WWW is the acronym for the World Wide Web. It is also commonlyknown as ‘The Web’. The WWW is hypertext based information retrievaltool
• The World Wide Web (WWW) is just a small part of the Internet as a whole.
• The Internet, relates to all the hardware and software involved, and as well as including the WWW, also includes FTP (File Transfer Protocol – more about this later), email and newsgroups.
• The WWW is basically the text and pictures which you can view using your web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
File Transfer Protocol, is an Internet utility software used to uploadand download files. It gives access to directories or folders on remotecomputers and allows software, data and text files to be transferredbetween different kinds of computers.
• FTP is just a way of transferring data from one place to another over the Internet. If is often used for downloading large files from a web site. You do not really need to know anything about how it works, in most cases you will click on a link within a web page, and your web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) will take care of the FTP transfer for you, all you have to decide is where to store the file which you wish to download.

The basic objectives of FTP are
• to give flexibility and promote sharing of computer programs, files and data
• to transfer data reliably and more efficiently over network
• to encourage implicit or indirect use of remote computers using Internet
• to shield a user from variations in file storage systems among hosts

Telnet (Remote Computing)
• Telnet (Remote Computing)Telnet or remote computing is telecommunication utility software,which uses available telecommunication facility and allows you tobecome a user on a remote computer. Once you gain access to theremote computer, you can use it for the intended purpose. TheTELNET works in a very step by step procedure. The commandstyped on the client computer are sent to the local Internet ServiceProvider (ISP), and then from the ISP to the remote computer thatyou have gained access. Most of the ISP provides facility to TELENETinto your own account from another city and check your e-mailwhile you are traveling or away on business

Voice Messaging
Voice MessagingIt is a new communication approach which is similar to electronic mail exceptthat it is audio message rather than text messages that are processed.
A sender speaks into a telephone rather than typing, giving the name of the recipient and the message. That sender's voice signal is then digitalised and stored.
The system can then either deliver the message at a specified time in future or it can be retrieved from a database by the recipient.

Domain Name Addressing
• Domain names can include any number of parts separated by periods, however most domain names currently in use have only three or four parts.
• Domain names follow hierarchical model that you can follow from top to bottom if you read the name from the right to the left.
• For example, the domain name gsb.uchicago.edu is the computer connected to the Internet at the Graduate School of Business (gsb), which is an academic unit of the University of Chicago (uchicago), which is an educational institution (edu).
• No other computer on the Internet has the same domain name.

Uniform Resource Locators• The IP address and the domain name each identify a particular
computer on the Internet.• However, they do not indicate where a Web page’s HTML
document resides on that computer.• To identify a Web pages exact location, Web browsers rely on
Uniform Resource Locator (URL).• URL is a four-part addressing scheme that tells the Web
browser: What transfer protocol to use for transporting the file The domain name of the computer on which the file resides The pathname of the folder or directory on the computer on
which the file resides The name of the file

What is an Internet cache?
Each time you display a web site within your web browser, a copy of theinformation (both text and pictures) is saved on your hard disk. The reasonfor this is that the next time you want to re-visit the site, the information isquickly loaded from the copy on your hard disk, rather than slowly from theactual Internet site.• As pictures are stored in the cache, if you are visiting a site which has manyseparate web pages, with say a company logo on each page, then allsubsequent pages from that site will load a little faster as the logo graphicswill load from the cache, not via the Internet Eg. temp folder

Internet vs intranet
• Intranet is an internal private computer network or connection of one or more computer networks, whose use and access is restricted to an organization and its employees or members.. Such an intranet, mostly operates through a website, run by a local server, acting as a resource sharing medium. You could call it a scaled-down private Internet.
• Internet is a network of more than billion computers spread worldwide! It uses an ever improving set of Internet protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc.) to transfer data. Unlike the intranet, the Internet and the information sharing service called the 'World Wide Web',
