The way the internet works is basically you first connect to the interest by entering your phone number, user name and password your dialing up onto the network. From there your modern sends the signals from your computer to signals that travel over a wire line then leads it to a internet service provider. Your internet provider gives you access to the internet.
To have access to a website you first enter its address, the browser and web server will communicate by using Hypertext transfer Protocol. the WWW. indicates a resource on the world wide web. after that when you type in the address this identifies which computer hosts the site this is called a domain. then the browsers sends the request to the web server on the internet and it locates the files then downloads it to your computer, so your web browser displays the page on your computer screen.

By creating an e-mail program you could have the access to interact with family and friends, by sending messages. the way this works is the message gets sent to your Internet service provider's mail server, by examining the address the message travels over the interest to the mail server of the recipients internet service provider, where it is held in a mailbox. by loging onto your account and clicking onto your inbox, the computer displays the message onto your computer where you then have a chance to read through it.

Spiders is a software what engines use to comb the internet looking for documents and their web addresses, these are collected and sent to the search engines indexing software to help extract information from the documents, storing it in a database. the database is searched for documents that match, then the engines assemble a web page that lists the result as hypertext.

A newsgroups and forums is use to post messages, reply a message or just read messages.when the message is sent the news server posts it for everyone to read. everyone could read and respond to your message.

The way streaming media works is when you click on a link to a media clip, your web browser requests the clip from a media server on the internet. Then the server returns the data to your computer. your computer launches a media player which the streaming data is stored in a buffer.when enough data is received, the clip begins.
