Question 1

Identify the following term(s).
-internet

Accepted Answer

The term "Internet" refers to a global network of interconnected computers and servers that use standardized communication protocols, primarily the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), to link billions of devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, ranging from local to global scope.

The Internet enables a vast array of information and communication facilities, including interconnected hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing. It has become an essential medium for many activities, such as social networking, online shopping, digital media distribution, online gaming, and much more.

The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the federal government of the United States in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks. This work led to the development of ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), which became the technical foundation of the Internet.

The Internet has since revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before, initiating a new era of instant communication and access to information. It has become an integral part of daily life for many people around the world, influencing various aspects of society, economy, and culture.
