According
to a survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in
August, 2005, in October 2003, 77 million persons used a computer at
work and this number is multiplying every day.
The
Internet got its name from the Internet Protocol, which is the basic
communications protocol used by every computer on the Internet. The
Internet connects a large number of computers and helps to exchange
data, news and opinions. The Internet is able to support
communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons,
and/or other IP-compatible protocols.
The Internet is a network of networks with the help of which the
users can search anything and everything in the world, connect to
different users along the globe. Buy things and play games. The
ExpertRating Internet Certification will guide you to surf and enjoy
the benefits of ‘net’ (as it is popularly known) and open a
storehouse of knowledge for you.
