My 1st IS lesson: The Internet & WWW

I learnt that the Internet was created by APRANET and it's original goal was to allow scientists at different locations to share information. The Internet became funtional in September 1969. It has grown from 4 host nodes to more than 200 million host nodes. Each website has it's own domain name and IP address. An example of a domain name is www.facebook.com and an example of an IP address is 63.123.44.192. There are 9 basic types of websites. They are : Portals, News, Informational, Business/Marketing, Educational, Entertainment, Advocacy, Blog and Personal. An advocacy website contains content that describes a cause opinion or idea. The guildlines for evaluation a website are affiliation, audience, authority, content, currency, design and objectivity.
