The Internet, The Web and Electronic Commerce.
Written @ 7:21 PM

From software to applications to programs, Internet is supported by all these in order to work and able to cater to its users. All of these contribute to the Internet in becoming a tool from networking to business to simply for leisure purpose, but in a brand new way. With all these converging together with the Internet, they together bring us the new era and more functionality towards the way how the Internet operates.
These following are examples attributed to the Internet.

Javascript

A Javascript logo.


Javascript's official name is ECMAscript, which was invented by Brendan Eich and is maintained and developed by ECMA organization. Javascript is a scripting languange designed to add interactivity to HTML pages, which is usually directly embeded to these pages. Javascript enables webpage users and its reader to interact with each other. Everybody can actually use javascript without having or purchasing a license and doesn't require any plug-ins, which most other programmes do.

Applets

Like the Javascript, an applet is a program which can be inserted into HTML pages where applets can perform interactive animations, immediate calculations or other simpler tasks. Applets are small in size, compatible, highly secure and ideal for small Internet applications accessible from a web browser. An applet must be a subclass of the Java, so the codes can be transferred to the system and executed by the Java's browser. Then only tasks such as animations and interactive tools can be performed.
Applets work with the Java program.


Filters
Internet filters is basically software where it blocks or stop its users by logging in to undesirable or permeable websites.  For example, a blogger might have set up his/her blog to be only open for selected readers, thus those who are not invited are filtered and denied access to the weblog. Filters can be implemented in many ways; by software from a personal computer or provided by the internet access. Internet Service provider (ISP) blocks webpage that are objectionable to its users, like pornography or dangerous websites. While for search engine filters (Yahoo, Google e.g.) offers its users the security filter. Once activated, explicit contents for example will be automatically blocked from its user.

Plug-ins
Plug-ins is a set of software components that add specific capabilities to larger software application. if a software is successfully supported, customizing the functionality of the application is enabled. For example, plug-ins is commonly used to play music videos, scan viruses and display new files. Some of the top plug-ins engines include Adobe Flash Player, Quick Time, Java and Real Player.
Internet Security Suite

Internet Security Suite is basically security software installed to the computer to ensure security whilst online, making sure virus is detected. It is an anti-virus software which protects the computer from any sort of viruses or 'worm' which would affect the computer system. Among the top Internet security suites are Norton Internet Security, Kapersky Internet Security and F-Secure Internet Security.






FTP; File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer protocol or FTP is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another, like the Internet. It is claimed to be faster than any other protocols, like the HTTP or POP in terms of exchanging files. It also helps in transferring data efficiently and reliably. 



Wiki

Wiki is a server which allows users create Web page using any browser, where they can actually edit their pages freely. It supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax that helps in creating new pages and crosslink in the webpage. It is also considered as an 'encyclopaedia' where many information are included in a single webpage with many interlinks in it, which causes that particular webpage to have some unnecessary  materials considered as 'off-topic'. 

URL

Known as the Uniform Resource Locator, it is the global address of documents or other resources in The World Wide Web. The first part of the address is called the protocol identifier; indicates what protocol to use and the second part is called a resource name, where the domain name is used. the protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes.
