Computer Communications Channels and Equipment and the Internet and World Wide Web
Communicating with a computer is becoming the
standard today for both business and personal use. The communications channels
are constantly being upgraded in order to send information faster.
Communications technologies have changed the way people interact through the
use of e-mail, videoconferencing, and the Internet.
Many vendors sell network versions of their software. The network version resides on the network server and can be accessed by each computer on the network. When a network version is purchased, a site license is obtained from the vendor. The fee for the site license, usually based on the number of computers on the network, is less than the purchase of individual packages for each computer.
The number of people using the Internet is growing
by 5% each month. Paul Moritz, a vice president at Microsoft, maintains that,
"In the long run, it's hard to exaggerate the importance of the
Internet." The Web, an innovation of Tim Berners-Lee, debuted in 1989.
Since then, the Web has experienced astounding growth. Some experts claim that
the size of the Web doubles every 60 days. Using links to move from one
document to another often is called surfing the Web. Two popular Web browsers
are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
