> Is a collection of interconnected networks, all freely exchanging information using a common set of protocols- The world's largest computer network

> A project started by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in *1969* > An experiment in reliable networking & a means to link the DoD & military research contractors

> Include all military sites

> Enables computers to route communications traffic from one network to another as needed

> Developed the World Wide Web at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland

> One of the Internet's high-speed, long-distance communications links

> A *64-bit number* that identifies a computer on the Internet

> A Web address that specifies the exact *location* of a Web page using letters & words that map to an IP address & a *location* on the host

> The hypertext transfer protocol (http) standards & mark-up languages that combine to deliver information & services over the Internet> Server & client software- *The Internet is the infrastructure on which the Web exists*

> Highlighted text or graphics in a Web document that, when clicked, opens a new Web page containing related content

> Web client software used to view Web pages- Ex: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, & Opera

> Along with Vint Cerf, invented the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) & the Internet Protocol (IP)- The fundamental communication protocols at the heart of the Internet

> Is a network protocol that enables users to log on to networks remotely over the Internet- Uses a command-line interface that allows the user to work on a remote server directly- Both Telnet & FTP connections are not encrypted & are therefore not secure

> Supports file transfers protocols between a host & a remote computer - Users can copy files from one computer to another- Both Telnet & FTP connections are not encrypted and are therefore not secure

> A popular tool for *designing groups of Web pages*> CSS uses special HTML tags to globally define font characteristics for a variety of page elements as well as how those elements are laid out on the Web page

> Is a markup language designed to transport & store data on the Web> Allows the coder to create custom tags that define data

> Use CSS to define the design & layout of Web pages- XML to define the content & HTML to join the content with the design (CSS)

> Pages that provide information & links for special-interest groups- Ex: Huffington post, Drudgereport

> Provide access to work-related resources > Can be used to provide employees with work-related online content & to limit access to other Web content
