Internet Communications: Protocols, Packets, & IP Addresses
Handshaking & Authentication: Connecting to your ISP’s point of presence (POP) Handshaking—fastest transmission speed established Authentication—correct password & user name Protocols The set of rules a computer follows to electronically transmit data. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the Internet protocol Developed in 1978 by ARPA; used for all Internet transactions Packets Fixed-length blocks of data for transmission, determined by TCP/IP Data transmissions are broken up into packets and re-assembled at destination (the IP—Internet Protocol— address) Technology and Market of ICT 12/8/2017
24
IP (Internet Protocol) Addresses
Every device connected to the Internet has an address Each IP address uniquely identifies that device The address is four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., ) Each number is between 0 and 255 Dynamic IP addresses change with every use; individual computer users are assigned static IP addresses when they log on Static IP addresses don’t change (established organizations – including ISPs – and companies have static IP addresses, which they pay for) Technology and Market of ICT 12/8/2017

The Face of the Web: Browsers, Websites, & Web Pages
The World Wide Web brought multimedia to the Internet. The web and the Internet are not the same; the web is multimedia-based, and the Internet is not. The Internet is the infrastructure that supports the web. A browser is software that gets you to websites and their individual web pages and displays the content in such a way that the content appears mostly the same regardless of the computer, operating system, and display monitor.

Web 2.0: The Social Web Web 2.0 refers to the web viewed as a medium in which interactive experience, in the form of blogs, wikis, forums, social networking, and so on, plays a more important role than simply accessing information. The move toward a more social, collaborative, interactive, and responsive web; has led to the “social web,” giving rise to: Social networking sites: Online communities that allow members to keep track of friends and share photos, videos, music, stories, and ideas (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn). Media-sharing sites: Online social networks in which members share media such as photos, videos, music, ideas (e.g., YouTube, Flicker, Shutterfly). Social-network aggregators: Collect content from all of a user’s various social network profiles into one place, then allow him or her to track friends and share other social network activities (e.g., Mugshot, Readr).

Web 3.0: Computer-Generated Information
In Web 3.0, information will be computer-generated with less human interaction required to discover and integrate that information. Two ideas might form the basis for Web 3.0— semantic markup and a personal browser. Semantic markup: Data interchange formats that will allow machines to understand the meaning—or “semantics”—of information on the web. The Web 3.0 browser will probably act as a personal assistant because every user will have a unique Internet profile based on his or her browsing history. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Technology and Market of ICT 12/8/2017

Malware There are many forms of malicious software—so-called malware—that can harm a computer system, a common danger being viruses. A virus is a rogue program that migrates through the Internet or via operating systems and attaches itself to different programs that spread from one computer to another, leaving infections. The principal defense is to install antivirus software, which scans a computer to detect viruses and, sometimes, to destroy them. Technology and Market of ICT 12/8/2017
74
How to Reduce Malware Risks
Download virus protection software, such as McAfee VirusScan ( ) or Norton AntiVirus ( ); then follow instructions for installing it on your machine. (Don’t use antivirus software from companies you know nothing about.) Scan your entire system with antivirus software the first time it’s installed; then scan it regularly after that. Also scan any new CDs and drives before using them. Don’t open, download, or execute any files, messages, or attachments if the source is unknown or if the subject line of an is questionable or unexpected. Delete all spam and messages from strangers. Don’t open, forward, or reply to such messages. Use webmail sparingly, since viruses can hide in the HTML coding of the . Even the simple act of previewing the message in your program can activate the virus and infect your computer. Don’t start your computer with a flash drive, USB thumb drive, or CD/DVD in place. Back up your data files regularly, and keep at least one backup device in a location separate from your computer or use an online (cloud) backup service. If you discover you have a virus, ask McAfee or Norton to scan your computer online; then follow its directions for cleaning or deleting the virus. (A computer tech person can do this, too.)

Passwords Never choose a real word or variations of your or your family’s name, address, phone number, Social Security number, license plate, or birth date. Don’t use passwords that can be easily guessed, such as “12345” or “password.” Avoid any word that appears in a dictionary. Instead, mix letters, numbers, and punctuation marks in an oddball sequence of no fewer than eight characters, such as 2b/orNOT2b% and Alfred!E!Newman7. Or choose a password that is memorable but shift the position of your fingers on the keyboard, so that, for instance, TIMBERWOLVES becomes YO,NRTEP;BRD when you move your fingers one position right. For sensitive sites, such as financial accounts, create long passwords, such as 15-character passwords. Don’t use the same password for multiple sites, so that if someone obtains the password to one account, that person won’t have access to your entire online life. Don’t write passwords on sticky notes or in a notebook or tape them under your keyboard. Don’t carry the passwords in your wallet. If you have to write down all your passwords, find a safe place to put the paper, or use a software password manager, such as Kaspersky Password Manager, RoboForm Everywhere, or Last Pass Premium.
