Computers
and the Internet have completely changed the way we live, work and play by
enabling us to interconnect globally with other computer networks to send emails
and easily access a plethora of information on any topic under the sun.
The Internet
is available around the world and enables users to access information related to
education and technology, as well as entertainment, social networking and a
variety of online services.
This
worldwide system of computer networks employs standard protocol for
communication using a digital “language” called Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Any
computer connected to the Internet is provided a copy of the same TCP/IP
programs that other computers use, which enables all of us to send messages and
access information all over the world.
Each
computer that is connected to the Internet has its own unique Internet Protocol
(IT) address, which is comprised of sets of numbers that identify its specific
location (for example, 110.22.33.123), as well as a Domain Name Server (DNS)
that enables users to locate a computer by name.
The DNS uniquely identifies the computer on which the Canadian Internet
website is hosted.
Internet
technology enables us to send emails to anyone in the world, view television and
play games online, as well as locate songs, videos, social networking
applications and websites devoted to internet banking, bill paying, sharing data
and online shopping for anything you might need.
The
advantage of computers and Internet technology cannot be understated as it
pertains to sourcing information and hosting electronic commerce that allows
business to be conducted anytime anywhere using global computer systems and
networks.
With
advantages of Internet Technology also come disadvantages that include spamming,
viral attacks, cyber crime and threats to personal information (like names,
addresses and credit card account numbers) that can bring business to a halt and
turn one’s life upside down when that private information is stolen and used
for another person’s benefit.
Continued
advances in IT, computers and computer software have necessitated an industry of
nerds and geeks who understand all of the nuances of this massive global network
who are available to help us keep our computers operating and the Internet
running smoothly so that we can easily and efficiently live our lives, whether
at work or play.
