Internet software
Getting connected
The language used for data transfer on the Internet is known as TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol). This is like the Internet operating system.
The first program you need is a PPP (point to point protocol) driver. This piece of software allows the TCP/IP system to work with your modem; it dials up your Internet service provider (ISP), transmits your password and log-in name and allows Internet programs to operate.
E-mail is your personal connection to the Internet. It allows you to exchange messages is with people all over the world. It can include text, pictures, and even audio and animation.
When you set up an account with an ISP, you are given a unique address and anyone can send you e-mail. The mail you receive is stored on the server of your ISP until you next connect and download it to your hard disk.
Web browsers
The Web is a hypertext-based system where you can find news, pictures, games, online shopping, virtual museums, electronic magazines - any topic you can imagine.
You navigate through the Web using a program called a 'browser', which allows you to search and print Web pages. You can also click on keywords or buttons that take you to other destinations on the net. This is possible because browsers understand hypertext markup language (HTML), a set of commands that indicate how a Web page is formatted and displayed.
