Hey everyone.

Today will be my first post for my IS lesson studies.

So today we went for IS class at 1240.

Then there was the lecture. Very interesting

We learnt about the internet's history.

It started out as the arpanet which was first used to let scientist at different places share their information and to function when other methods were unavailable.

if you are still unsure, you can check it out at

.

Then we learned about internet providers, who controls the internet and how it works

. Then there was the IP address. The IP address is a series of codes that is just like the address of your house. When we type in a link, the computer automatically translates it into an IP address.

The url, which stands for uniform resource locater, is basically the link on your internet server.

We also learned about the search engines, such as google and yahoo! And the hits.

FTP- file transfer protocol. it is basically to upload and download with other computers.

Thats about it.

bye
