II  Define:

1) Internet: Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks using a common protocol (TCP/IP) through telephone wires, fibre optic cables, wireless technologies, satellite links, etc.

2) Web Browser: Web Browser or Internet browser is the program that is used to access internet and view web pages on the computer. It is used to locate, retrieve and display content of the World Wide Web, including Web pages, images, video and other files.

3) Web Server: A Web server is a computer system on Internet that uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) to serve the Web pages to users, in response to their requests, which are forwarded by their computer's browser. It is a computer where the web content is stored. Basically, web server is used to host the web sites but there exists other web servers also such as gaming, storage, FTP, email etc.

4) Email: Electronic mail is the term given to electronic message, usually a form of simple text message that a user types in a computer system and is transmitted over network to another user. You can also attach files to an email.

5) WWW:  World Wide Web  is a an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. It is a system of Internet servers that supports documents formatted in mark-up language called HTML that supports links to other documents as well as graphics, audio and video files.

III Write short note on:

1) IP Address: An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, smart phone, other devices) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It is used to identify itself and communicate with other devices in the IP network. Any device connected to the IP network must have an unique IP address within the network. 

There are two standards for IP addresses: IP Version 4 (IPv4) and IP Version 6 (IPv6).

    IPv4 uses 32 binary bits to create a single unique address on the network. An IPv4 address is expressed by four numbers separated by dots. Each number is the decimal (base-10) representation for an eight-digit binary (base-2) number, also called an octet. For example: 216.27.61.137, 192.168.1.15

    IPv6 uses 128 binary, bits to create a single unique address on the network. An IPv6 address is expressed by eight groups of hexadecimal (base-16) numbers separated by colons, as in 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652. Groups of numbers that contain all zeros are often omitted to save space, leaving a colon separator to mark the gap (as in 2001:cdba::3257:9652).

2) Domain Naming System:  DNS is a hierarchical, distributed method of organizing the name space on Internet. The DNS is a worldwide system of servers that stores location pointers to Web sites. It translates Internet domain and host names to IP addresses and vice versa.

DNS implements a distributed database to store domain names and their web server's IP addresses on the Internet. The DNS database resides on a hierarchy of special database servers.

Whether you're accessing a Web site or sending e-mail, your computer uses a DNS server to look up the domain name you're trying to access. The proper term for this process is DNS name resolution, and you would say that the DNS server resolves the domain name to the IP address.

For example, when you enter "http://www.howstuffworks.com" in your browser, part of the network connection includes resolving the domain name "howstuffworks.com" into an IP address, like 70.42.251.42, for HowStuffWorks' Web servers.

3) Messenger: Messenger is  an app used for instant messaging to individuals or groups. It allows to share photos, videos, audio recordings and other files. Example: Yahoo Messenger, MSN messenger, Facebook messenger, AOL, gtalk, etc.

4) FTP: The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network. It can also be used to send configuration files and software updates for network switches and routers. FTP uses ports for communications and also uses encryption to protect the information being received and sent.

6) Gateway Access:  Gateway Access is also known as Level-One connection. The gateway allows two different types of networks to communicate with each other. A network gateway can be implemented completely in software, completely in hardware, or as a combination of both. Depending on the types of protocols they support, network gateways can operate at any level of the OSI model. For example within India, all access to Internet from India are through BSNL gateway.

7) Dial-up Connection: Dialup connection is also known as Level Two connection. It provides connection through a dial-up terminal connection.

It is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) by dialing a telephone number on a conventional telephone line. The user's computer uses an attached modem to encode and decode information into and from audio frequency signals, respectively.

When connecting, the modem will pick up the phone and dial a number that is attached to Internet Service Provider's computer(host). After the connection has been made the computer can check e-mail, browse the Internet, and share files.

It allows users to surf the Web at 56 Kbps speed. The types of dial-up connection are:

a) Shell Connection                 b)  TCP/IP Connection             c) ISDN connection

Define the following:

1) Spreadsheet - A spreadsheet is grid of rows and columns used to store, organize and analyze numerical or financial data.

2) Worksheet -  A An Excel worksheet is a single spreadsheet that contains cells organized by rows and columns. A worksheet begins with row number one and column A.

3) Cell - An intersection of a row and column in a worksheet is called cell.

4) Cell Pointer - The cell pointer in Excel is the active cell or the selected cell and is highlighted by a bolder rectangle. The location of the cell pointer is listed below the tool bar to the left of the formula bar.

5) Name box - Name box is located above the worksheet area, which displays the cell reference or the name of the active cell. Active cell is the cell where cell pointer is placed.

6) Formula bar - Formula bar is located above the worksheet area on the right of the Name box and displays the contents of the active cell. It can also be used for entering or editing data and formula.

7) Cell References – A cell reference in a formula is the address of a cell, or the addresses of a range of cells. It tells the program where to look for the values or data to be used in a formula. There are two types of cell references:

i) Absolute Reference: It is the cell address in the formula that is fixed. They do not change if you copy a formula from one cell to another. It is given by preceding both column and row number by the dollar sign($). Example- Formula =$A$1*B1,   If it is copied down a column it will change to =$A$1*B2

ii) Relative Reference: It automatically changes when the formula is copied to a new location. The changed cell address will be relative to the address of the cell containing formula. Example the formula =A1*B1 is copied down a column it will change to =A2*B2
