Information of Super Highway

The Internet is the super corridor or super highway where any sort of information can be published, retrieved or exchanged. Every Internet Server stores a large number of information on different topics. And there are millions of such servers, which are active all day long, even days or months together. There is no break, no pause. So information is available any time, any moment. We may just hook with Internet and get the piles of information.

              The WWW is a very famous term, used to define the information population by any Internet server. It is basically a worldwide publication of the web pages to demonstrate peoples, societies and organizations. Every web page is technically a page of information, where different connecting heads/subheads are available to go through next pages of related information, which are bundled together Bulletin Boards are actually simple forums where news, software, games, articles are bundled together with access to every member where they can directly contribute to or collect from the system, according to everybody’s requirement. In a bulletin board, you may have the opportunity of conferencing with others, sending items without worrying whom you want to communicate with. Every member may have same freedom to collect anything at any time, according to his/her own convenience.

Chat forums are basically forums of people to make some grouping to create small conference among them. However there may not be different types of items other than chatting or just news.In above descriptions, it was mentioned that Internet is the worldwide Information Super Highway. But to collect the information, you must get help of the information retrieval procedures. There are several popular websites which use powerful search engines to collect various types of information within seconds. They are Yahoo, Excite, AltaVista and like. There also search sites for specific topics, like MEDLINE, Library of Congress, and Amazon etc. They also acts as publication centres of different news, advertisements and other items.

Browser is another kind of Internet software, which is used to browse or search and collect information in the Internet. Example: Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator etc.

The following are the great aspects of a browser as significantly a browser must have the following features:

·         It should be user friendly.

·         It should allow all up-to-date techniques of web browsing.

·         It should have different formatting facilities to choose among different options to control the presentation format or speed of the web pages.

We should make a choice of a browser – Netscape Navigator due to the fact that Netscape Navigator is the first very easy and also popular tool to browse in the Internet using efficient technology. It has most of the important features that a browser should have.

In view of the above it is evident that if someone has an account or user permission he/she can enter into his/her ISP’s Internet Server, through which he/she can access any Internet Server in the world. Any person can browse through any information from millions of computers after he/she enters an Internet server. For this reason, Internet is a great wonder of modern science, the so-called information super highway. A web-site is a hard disk space in one of the billions of computers in the Internet. A certain web-site will have information on a specific topic. For example Education, Sports, Shopping, Business or any other topic will have several web-sites dedicated to those topics. We can get the news from web-sites of CNN or BBC. A web-site is identified on the Internet by a unique address.
