TBKGCFLeciraFree.orgYou may have heard someone say something like "The server isdown" or "We're having problems with the e-mail server." Aserver is a computer that "serves" many different computers in anetwork by running specialized software and storinginformation. For example, web pages are stored on servers.When you access a web page, your computer is acting as aclient. A client runs familiar software such as web browsers oremail software, and it communicates with the server to get theinformation it requires.In order for your browser to display a web page, it requests thedata from the server where the page is stored. The serverprocesses the request, then sends the data to your browser,where it is displayed.A server with multiple clientsIn peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, each computer acts as both a server and a client. Examples of P2P softwareinclude Skype and BitTorrent.Page 5The World Wide Web (WWW)When most people think of the internet, the first thing they think about is the World Wide W eb. Nowadays, theterms "internet" and "World Wide Web" are often used interchangeably— but they're actually not the same thing.v The internet is the physical network of computers all over the world.v The World Wide Web is a virtual network of web sites connected by hyperlinks (or "links"). Web sitesare stored on servers on the internet, so the World Wide Web is a part of the internet.HTMLThe backbone of the World Wide Web is made of HTML files, which are specially-formatted documents that cancontain links, as well as images and other media. All web browsers can read HTML files. In addition to HTML,it's also very common for websites to use technologies like CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript todo more advanced things.* *"n , , V r » i d t t i V h t ig k i - i j -C « l l i p « c i n 9 " 0 " c llfM d ding *( ' b»rd«- id » id ih -'1 5 V a llg t-'rijlit’ x u N * vMik ld tltyn * ‘ cfnlei" ir»q nr VI/Ung/ni/lty» 11*1 W f - * /l/» .f lf ’ w l d t h - V h fig k l- ‘ !« d i td width—"65%" /U ?''fc 1998-2013 Goodwill Community Foundation, Inc.

The URL, also knownas the web address, tells the browser exactly where to find the page. However, most of the time, people get to aweb page by following a link from a different page or by searching for the page with a search engine.b lQ g.gcf1earnfree.org/2 0 1 2 / 0 1 / 2 3 /m o b ile -d e v ic e -s a fe ty -fo r-k id s /An example o f a URLThe World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer.

There are a lot of factors toconsider, such as how much speed you need and where you live.In this lesson, we'll talk about bandwidth, different types of internet service,wireless internet (Wi-Fi), home networking, and mobile phone internetaccess.Page 2How Do I Connect to the Internet?Once you've set up your computer, you'll probably want to getinternet access so that you can send and receive email, browsethe web, watch movies, and more. Before you can access theinternet, there are three things that you need: internet service, am odem , and a web browser.Watch the video to learn about connecting to the internet.Watch the video (3:38). Need help?Choosing an Internet ServiceWhich Service is Best for Me?It all depends on where you live and how much speed you need. Internet Service Providers usually offerdifferent levels of speed based on your needs. If you're mainly using the internet for e-mail and socialnetw orking, a slower connection might be all you need, but if you want to download a lot of music or watchstreaming m ovies, you'll want a faster connection. You'll need to do some research to find out what the optionsare in your area. 1998-2013 Goodwill Community Foundation, Inc. All rights reserved.
T lS EL e a m F re e .o rg *Types of Internet ServiceReview the following interactive to see a few of the more well-known types of internet service.Choosing an Internet Service ProviderOnce you have decided which type of internet access you are interested in, you can determine which ISPs areavailable in your area that offer the type of internet access you want. Then, you will need to purchase internetservice from one of the available ISPs. Talk to friends, family members, and neighbors to see what ISP they use.Below are some things to consider as you research ISPs: Speed Price Ease of Installation Service Record Technical Support Contract TermsAlthough dial-up has traditionally been the cheapest option, many ISPs have raised dial-up prices to be thesame as broadband. This is intended to encourage people to switch over to broadband. Generally, you shouldonly use dial-up if it's the only option available.Page 3Hardware NeededModemOnce you have your computer, you really don't need much additional hardwareto connect to the internet. The primary piece of hardware you need is amodem.The type of internet access you choose will determine what type of modem youneed. Dial-up access uses a telephone modem, DSL service uses a DSLmodem, cable access uses a cable modem, and satellite service uses asatellite adapter. Your ISP may give you a modem (often for a fee) when yousign a contract with them, which helps to ensure that you have the right kind ofmodem. However, if you would prefer to shop for a better or cheaper modem,then you can choose to buy one separately.A DSL modem 1998-2013 Goodwill Community Foundation, Inc. All rights reserved.

Many routers are w ireless, allowing you toeasily create a wireless network.You don't necessarily need to buy a router to connect to the internet.It's possible to connect your computer directly to your modem using anEthernet cable. Also, many modems now include a built-in router, soyou have the option of creating a network without having to buy morehardware.Most routers also act as a hardware firew all, which helps preventpeople from gaining access to your computer through the internet.A wireless routerNetwork CardA network card is a piece of hardware that allows computers tocommunicate over a computer network. Most newer computers have anetwork card built into the motherboard, so it probably is not somethingyou will need to purchase. The network card will either have anEthernet port, a wireless connection, or both.If you have a laptop with a wireless connection, you can access theinternet at any place that offers a Wi-Fi connection. Many restaurants,coffee shops, bookstores, hotels and other businesses offer freeWi-Fi.
