Internet and computer services

Internet is an interconnection of thousands of computer of types belonging to various networks all over the world it links millions of business or government office etc.Any computer user on the internet can make contact with another computer user on the internet anywhere in the world.Department of the defense of USA started a project network to share data and information in 1960 .This network was called ARPANET .It helped in the development of new protocol known as TCP\IP .The project create a large computer network .It become huge success and every universities wanted to become part of it . It provide file transfer and communication services in mid 1980 .The department of defense dropped ARPANET funding .So another federal agency NSF created a new higher capacity network called NSF and it helped to linked with super computer .The links between ARPANET ,NSF net and other networks called the internet.But the original ARPANET and NSF net were shut down and discontinued in 1990.There after the development of world wide web (WWW) really became popular .Nowadays the internet can be used for the verities of tasks such as mailing,chat,shopping ,education , entertainment etc.WHO CONTROL THE INTERNET No central authority control the internet .If we are connecting to our computer to the internet we are free to use its resources and create our own resources .However there are some organization which are giving direction and guidelines for the proper use of the internet like;
I SOC
WSC
The basic requirements to connect the internet are ;
Computer system
Software
MODEM
Connection.

Computer security

Computer security includes the policies ,procedures ,tools and techniques designed to protect a company computer assets from accidental ,intension or natural disaesters including accidental input or output errors ,theft ,physical,damage and illegal access or manipulation .Computer equipment software and data need to be proctected from the physical harm .Hazards could include natural ones such as fire ,lightening ,water etc and can include deliberate damage or theft .Excessive heat within a computer component may cause failure of computer components .The recommmended computer room temperature should be 22 degree celcius .Air conditioning is important for the computer system where temperature and humidity must be controlled .A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automaticaly maintained a constant voltage level .UPS ,volt guard and spike guard area some of the alternatives to protect the computer system from power surge .The greatest threat to software is a computer virus ,a program that causes a computer system to behave in unexpected and undesirable wage so that antiviral software can be used to scan a computers memory and disks to detect viruses .

Merits and Demerits of computer

Everything's has its good and bad things.computer also has some good and bad things.computer becomes the essential and important things now with out computer any modern things is not possible everything is connected with computer.It becomes the heart in science and technology like in other business,industry, educational field but also it has some bad and good aspects which are describing below.Good aspects are that computer become the milestone in the field of business, industrialisation sector and in science and technology computer can find the thief and killer through fingerprint.Writing,drawing and designing are some of the things that a computer is capable of.We can also take the video of our inner part of the body.Scientist can test a new medicine on computer.The computer does all the space researchof sending spacecrafts to the moon and other planets.computer can make person alive who is dead and it becomes the entertainment factor also we can watch movie, play games ,listen music or also in animation etc.There is high demand of computer in the present market.Computer do thework fast than the human hand in drawing,writing,designing etc. the one computer can do the work 10times faster than human hands so that there is less demand of manpower in present market but the mouth are increase day by day so that the workers are decreasing day by day in every sector.Due to the excess use of computer many problem will arise on our eyes due to the rays coming from computer.many children spend their valuable time by playing games in the computer,and elders also spend their time by watching movies and listening music etc.so that not only has its good things but it also has bad aspects.

Computer virus

A computer virus is a program that attaches itself to, overwrites and/or otherwise replaces another program in order to reproduce itself without the knowledge of the computer user.A computer virus is nothing more than a computer programming that is coded to remain hidden in your computer. when a virus infected disc is inserted in computer that will directly inter computer and computer will hang and other unwanted problem are appear.Booting the computer with an infected floppy disc is one of the most common ways of catching a virus.Downloading a file from the internet or an online service is another way of catching a computer virus.To be far from the the virus scanning is important of any files.The most important thing that we should do to protect our data is to install a reputable anti-virus program on our computer.In order for our anti-virus software to remain effective we must update it regularly for the simple fact that there are new viruses being introduce at the alarming rate .No anti virus software is 100% effective.While very few people have actually seen a computer virus,they are real and they are to stay.As the software companies develop new and improved methods to combat viruses appear to defeat them.In conclusion one fact remains remember that virus are the enemy of software company and software's.

Computer

computer is a electronic and programming machine.which can perform mathmatical,logical and others operation.It is the set of the instrumen which works in the defined manner.The invention of the computer becomes the milestone for the present world many inventors contributed in the invention of the computer.computer is the composition of the different instrument which can perform the operation in well defined manner.It become the most important aspect of the science and technology .It help in every sector and in every field nowdays .The computer does all the researches nowadays in space as well as in earth.The computer plays a vital role in industrial sector, agricultural sector, entertainment sector etc.In the film industry of the Hollywood the computer is as a milestone . It helps them to make animated film, superstition film etc .as we see in Jurassic park film the dinosaur which was lost millions of year ago is there.It the one example,but the work of computer is valuable in nowdays more than the manpower.The Robert as well as other machinery things can move through computer.The use of the computer are numerous. In also the missiles and the plane can also be guided through the computer.as we all know that the disease which are in our body can be detected by the computer and we can be cured.Everything is in hand of computer nowdays.We can not do anything without the help of computer.may be in fifty yearscomputer will have taken over most of our daily task and then perhaps,We will have more time for other things.
