Internet
The Internet is a global network of interconnected network, enabling users to share information along multiple channels. A computer that connects to the Internet can access information from a vast array of available servers and other computers by moving information from them to the computer’s local memory. A majority of widely accessible information on the Internet consists of inter-linked hypertext documents and other resources of the World Wide Web (WWW). Computer users typically manage sent and received information with web browsers; other software for users’ interface with computer networks includes specialised programs for electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and file sharing. The movement of information in the Internet is achieved via a system of interconnected computer networks that share data by packet switching using the standardised Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). It is a “network of networks” that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other technologies. It is really a way for computers to communicate and share informations. It is a fast developing net and is of outmost importance for public sector undertakings, educational institutions, research organisations etc.Services of Internet
E-mail ::The internet enables user to exchange data/information and communicate via electronic media. E-mail messages are usually encoded in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text. A popular protocol for sending e-mail is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and for receiving it is POP3.
Chat ::
It is the exchange of typed message by netizens. It enables netizens to ‘talk not vocal’ by typing and sending the messages back and forth. It has two modes—computer to telephone and computer to computer. Internet Relay Chart (IRC) developed by Jarkko Oikarinen in 1998.

Local Area Network (LAN)
It is a system in which computers are inter-connected and the geographical spread may be within a building to 1 kilometre. A number of terminals can be used in the whole building at various places with sharing means. All the terminals are connected to a main computer called server.

Types of LAN
Star LAN ::
A number of stations are connected to control station. The station passes information to the central station and then proceed it to the destination station. If one node of the network fails, it does not affect the connectivity.

Ring LAN ::
Stations are connected by cables using point-to-point link. Network access is not under control of central station. Each station can pass data to its adjacent node. Data travels through each node so failure in a single node cause failure of network.

Bus LAN ::
There is no repeater. Stations are common and single communication line. Data is sent in packets and related station picked up by it. Any fault diagnosis is difficult.
