1.1.1 The internet
Definition: a worldwide interconnected network of computer networks.
Enables a computer or computer network in one part of the world to
communicate with a computer or computer network located somewhere
else in the world
Does this by using ordinary telephone line, cellular or satellite connection,
or dedicated data line
The power of this global system of interconnected computer networks
comes from the fact that :
It provides easy access to millions of individuals & corporate internet users
Information available on computer networks are available to everyone

, MNM3714 – E-MARKETING
Term web coined by Berners-Lee in 1990 : to describe information
spanning the planet like a giant spider’s web
Easy to use and incorporates : pictures, sounds, animation, photos, videos,
multimedia features
Few commands necessary – simple ‘point-click’
Provides access to greater range of topics
More sources than any other information system on the planet
Empowers users to explore different ideas and topics using hypertext

Drivers of the Internet & Web Growth – 2 key drivers
*First key driver: Convergence of a number of factors :
Growth in personal computers – key to success of internet (laptops,
netbooks, ultrabooks)
Growth in local networks linking computers together within
businesses (wireless, wired, Bluetooth) – together have helped spread
the reach of internet to all users
Growth in global communications infrastructure (fxed lines, fbre-
optics, satellite technologies) – in turn supports internet
Growth in cellular technologies (3G/4G, multi-feature phones,
smartphones) – brings internet within reach to every individual with such
device
Advent of tablets that can connect wirelessly over cellular
networks
Growth of micro-chipped embedded products (fridges, cars,
cameras) – intelligent, can store data with other devices over internet
Continued growth in globalization – brings people together, sparks
competitiveness, results in research development
