Abstract:
In the present age of information technology, use of internet is becoming quite popular for
accessing information on any topic of your interest. It also provides tremendous opportunities
to students, researchers and professionals for getting information on matters related to
academic and professional topic and lot more. In the present world, most of the people who
have computers around themselves use internet to access information from the World Wide
Web, exchange messaging and documents and e-services.
The internet is the worldwide “network of networks” that links millions of computers
together via copper wires, fibre-optic cables, wireless connections, and other
telecommunication channels.
The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard
internets that use the standard internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users
worldwide. It is a network that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business and
government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic,
wireless and optional networking technologies. The internet carries a vast range of
information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the
World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
Keywords: Information technology, Global system, Inter-link, World Wide Web, Network

INTRODUCTION:
The internet (contraction of interconnected network) is the global system of
interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link
devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic,
business and government networks of global scope, linked by broad array of electronic,
wireless, andoptical networking technologies. The internet carries a vast range of information
resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the
World Wide Web (www), electronic mail,telephony, and file sharing.
The origins of the internet date back to research commissioned by the federal
government of the United States in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication
with computer networks. The primary precursor network, the APRANET, initially served as a
backbone for interconnection of regional academic and military networks in the 1980s. The
funding of the national science foundation network as a new backbone in the 1980s, as well
as private funding for other commercial extensions, led to worldwide participation in the

development of new networking technologies, and the merger of many networks. The linking
of commercial networks and enterprises by the early 1990s marked the beginning of the
transition to the modern internet, and generated a sustained exponential growth as generations
Of institutional, personal, and mobile computers were connected to the network. Although
the internet was widely used by academic since the 1980s, commercialization incorporated its
services and technologies into virtually every aspect of modern life.
THE WORLD WIDE WEB:
The World Wide Web is different than the internet. The started out being used more by
private industries and people such as scientists, schools, and the government. The public had
not used it for more part because it was complex and you had to have a computer in order to
access it, which not everyone did. In 1989 TimBerners-Lee came up with the World Wide
Weband through it would be a good way to organise information and take place of the
internet. Although the internet still stayed around, and still is today, the World Wide Web
was a great tool for researches at the time. The World Wide Web is not owned by one single
business or person, but the web pages are. The web consists of things such as HTML, URL,
and HTTP. HTTP stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is used for formatting
documents on the web. URL is the uniform resource locator which most of us are familiar
when typing in addresses to websites. And lastly, HTTP is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.
This is what lets people click on hyperlinks and be redirected to that specific location. The
World Wide Web has changed the way schools teach businesses run, and average people
have been able to access organised information. Pictures and documents are now easier to
access and research and recreational websites can now be found in one place.
USING THE INTERNET
Five steps to set up an internet
1. One must connect the hardware. Different hardware and software contain directions in
setting up. Use the directions to set up these systems.
2. The internet needs a wireless connection or an Ethernet cable before it can go online.
Therefore, the computer owner must make this connection.
3. The computer owner must connect to the default IP address usually consists of eight
numbers, and it is broken up occasionally by periods.
4. It is the internet’s server’s responsibility to show the computer owner how to actually
establish the connection. One must then set up a name and password for security
purposes.
5. Save the settings, and the internet light will turn green to locate one is online.
DIFFERENT INTERNETCONNECTIONS
There are many different kinds of internet connections.
1. Dial-up
2. Wi-Fi hotspots
3. Broadband over fiber

sounds to emit from the modem.
Wi-Fi hotspots
Wi-Fi hotspots are another form of internet connection in which a wireless access point, such
a router, has a direct connection to the internet and allows people to connect wirelessly
through the use of Wi-Fi.

for a fee.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
1. To know the various information gathered by users on accessing facility.
2. To study the user awareness of the internet
3. To analyse the factor which influenced the selection of internet access facility
4. To understand the problem of internet accessing
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Analysis and interpretation are very important
data, after collection, has to be processed and analysed. Technically speaking, processing
implies editing, loading, classification and tabulation of collected data. The term analysis
refers to the computation of certain measures along with searching for patterns of relationship
that exist among data groups and it refers to methodical classification of data given in the
tables.
Interpretation refers to the task of drawing inference from the collected facts af
analytical andexperimental study. The term ‘interpretation’ means explaining the meaning
and significance of the arranged data. It is the study of relationship between the various
factors. The task of interpretation has two major aspects:
1. The efforts to establish continuity in research
