 Internet is the short word for International Network.
Formally, the internet is as a worldwide collection of
networks, gateways, servers and computer which uses a
common set of telecommunication protocols to link them
together.
 The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer
networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite
(TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network
of networks 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
and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a
vast array of information resources and services, most
notably the inter-linked hyperlinks documents of the World
Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support
electronic mail.
 In 1969, the U.S. Defence Department funded a project to
develop a network, which can withstand the bombing.
Basically the idea was to develop a very secure network
which can work even after a nuclear attack. This project was
known as ARPANET. The proposed network was not
supposed to have a central control—which would be an
obvious target. Ten years of research brought Local Area
Ethernet Networks (LANs) and workstations were developed
to get connected to LAN. These workstations and LANs were
then connected to the ARPANET. For next decade the
ARPANET grew and its decentralized features helped its
rapid expansion. Computers connected to ARPANET used a
standard or rule to communicate with each other. This
standard used by ARPANET is known as NCP (National
Control Protocol).
Protocol is a network term used to indicate the standard
used by a network for communication. But the passing
time and rapid change in information technology
suppressed NCP and brought TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) in to the world of
networking. TCP "converts messages into streams of
packets at the source, and they are reassembled back
into messages at the destination. IP handles the
dispatch of these packets. It handles the addressing,
and makes sure that a packet reaches its destination
through multiple nodes and even across multiple
networks with multiple standards. This flexibility of
TCP/IP to handle multiple networks with multiple
protocols encourages other networks to get connected
to ARPANET. Slowly the ARPANET became a massive
network of networks and now it is known as ‘Internet’.

 E-mail or Electronic mail is a paperless
method of sending messages, notes or
letters from one person to another or even
many people at the same time via the
Internet. E-mail is very fast compared to
the normal post. E-mail messages usually
take only few seconds to arrive at their
destination. One can send messages
anytime of the day or night and it will get
delivered immediately.
Features of E-mail

 One-to-one or one-to-many communications

 Instant communications
 Physical presence of recipient is not required
 Most inexpensive mail service, 24-hours a

day and seven days a week

 Encourages informal communication
 As in the case of normal mail system, e-mail is also based upon
the concept of a recipient address. The email address provides all
of the information required to get a message to the recipient from
anywhere in the world. Consider the e-mail ID
john@hotmail.com
 In the example above, "john" is the local part, which is the name
of a mailbox on the destination computer, where finally the mail
will be delivered. Hotmail is the mailserver where the mailbox
"john" exists, .com is the type of organisation on net, which is
hosting the mail server.
There are six main categories;
com     Commercial institutions or organization
edu     Educational institutions
gov     Government site
mil     Military site
net     Gateways and administrative hosts
org     Private organizations
File Transfer Protocol, is an Internet utility
software used to upload and download files.
It gives access to directories or folders on
remote computers and allows software,
data and text files to be transferred
between different kinds of computers. FTP
works on the basis of same principle as that
of Client/Server.
 Telnet or remote computing is
telecommunication utility software, which
uses available telecommunication facility
and allows you to become a user on a
remote computer. Once you gain access to
the remote computer, you can use it for the
intended purpose. The TELNET works in a
very step by step procedure.
Just like every house, every office, every location has an address, every
page on the Internet has a unique address. This address is used get
the web page for user from Internet.
Just as the address of a house or office is known as its postal address,
the address on the Internet is known as URL (Uniform Resource
Locator). A typical Internet address or URL would look like;
http://www.nos.org/computers/internet/url.htm
The URL locates a particular web Page, among all the computers
connected to the Internet. The URL contains the components that
specify the protocol, server, and pathname of an item. Let us
examine the URL given above
(http://www.nos.org/computers/internet/url.htm).
The protocol is followed by a colon (http:), the server
is preceded by two slashes (//www.nos.org), and
each segment of the pathname is preceded by a
single slash (/computers/internet/url.htm). A
protocol is set of rules that tells the computer know
how to interpret the information at that address.
 The first component, the protocol, defines the manner for interpreting
computer information. Many Internet pages use HTTP (HyperText
Transfer Protocol). Other common Internet protocols that one might
come across are FTP (File Transfer Protocol), NEWS (Usenet news
groups protocol), and GOPHER (an alternative transfer protocol).
Gopher protocol is mostly out of date now.
 The second component, the server (www.nos.edu), identifies the
computer system that stores the information you seek and is always
preceded by two slashes. A server is a computer that has information
stored on it and sends it to the client, when a request is made. Each
server on the Internet has a unique address name whose text refers
to the organization maintaining the server.
 The last component (/computers/internet/), defines the path within
the Server where the requested item (url.htm) will be found. Most of
the Web pages will have .htm or .html as their secondary or
extension name.
Viewing Contacts

There are four different ways you can view your contacts: view
your entire contacts list, view a single contact’s details, sort
your list to view it differently, or search for a contact.

Contacts list
Click Contacts in the list down the left side of your Yahoo! Mail
page. Your contacts list opens in Yahoo! Mail's main window.
 Contact details
View a contact’s details by clicking on their
name. Details appear in the area to the right –
Name, phone number, address. Whatever you’ve
entered, there it is. To edit this information, click
Edit. The last line on this side – “Last updated” –
tells you when you most recently made changes.
 Sort contacts
Sort your list of contacts in ascending or
descending alphabetical order – your choice! – by
clicking the small black triangle on the right of
the “Name” bar above your list of contacts. And
you can list names first-name-first or last-name-
first by clicking on the circling arrows icon next to
the word “Name”. Click it again to switch back.
 Search contacts
To search for a contact, simply begin typing the
contact’s name or email address in the Find
Contacts box above the list of your contacts.
AutoComplete will recognize matching contacts
after only a few letters. When you see the right
name or address appear below, click on it to open
contact details on the right.
 There are a number of ways to add contacts to
your Contacts folder. Choose the one that’s most
convenient from wherever you are in Mail!
 Anytime
Click Contacts along the left side of your
Yahoo! Mail page. Your Contacts opens as a tab
in the main window. Below the word "Contacts"
on the actual tab, click the Add Contact button.
The "Contact Properties" window opens where
you can enter a contact's information. Click Save
when you're finished.
 After receiving an email from a contact
you’d like to add
When you receive an email from someone
who's not in your Contacts folder, you can add
their email address to your Contacts folder by
clicking the link labled Add to Contacts just to
the right of the "from" line in the header.
 What is "Contacts" in the left-side folder list?
Yahoo! Mail Contacts is your online address book. Use it
to store contact information for friends, family, and
your professional network You can access it with an
Internet connection from any computer, anywhere.
The most basic use of Contacts is clicking a contact's
email address, which opens the Compose window so
you can send them an email. You can also use it with
tools like Yahoo! Maps or Yahoo! Yellow Pages to find a
contact's location or find businesses and attractions
located near their address. Your Yahoo! Contacts stores
up to 5,000 contacts. In addition to being fully
searchable, Contacts also gives you distribution lists—
an easy way to send emails to up to 100 people at
once.
 How do I automatically add new people I’m in
touch with to my Contacts list?
There are two ways you can add new people to your
Contacts list. To do so:
◦ After you click Send, you’ll see a page that tells you who you
just sent an email to (the “Message Sent” page). Under the
person’s email address, you can check a box next to
"Automatically add recipients to my Contacts (from now on)".
By checking here, you’ll add the email addresses of all new
people to whom you send emails into your Contacts. After
checking the box, click OK. If you change your mind later and
don’t want to add everyone to your Contacts, you can un-
select the automatic function in the General category of
Options. See #2, below.
◦ Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page.
 -From the list on the left side, click General.
 -Either check (to select) or un-check (to un-select) the box next to
“Automatically add new recipients to my Contacts”. You’ll find this
option at the top, after “When sending messages:”.
 Where did my address book go?
The Address Book has been renamed the
"Contacts Folder".
Everything you saved in your address
book is still there. But now it's called the
Contacts folder. In the folder list down the
left side of your Yahoo! Mail page,
"Contacts" is between "Trash" and
"Calendar".
 If I accidentally delete a contact, can I
recover it?
◦ Yes if you accidentally delete a contact, it can
be recovered within a short period of time.
◦ When you delete a contact in Yahoo! Mail, it
goes the Trash folder in
your Yahoo! Address Book . Trash is on the left
side of the page.
◦ Click Trash to open it, and when you find the
contact you didn’t mean to delete, click it once.
Then click Restore to put it back in your
Contacts folder.
◦ Remember that contacts in Trash can be
deleted at any time, without warning. So if
something accidentally ends up there, go get it
quick! Once trash is emptied, anything in it is
permanently deleted from Yahoo! Contacts and
cannot be recovered.
 How do I edit contact information?
◦ To edit contact information:
◦ Click Contacts in the folder list on the left side
of your Yahoo! Mail page. Your contact list
opens in the main window.
◦ Click the contact you want to edit, and the
details appear in the area to the right.
◦ Click Edit to change the information.
◦ Click OK when you're done.
 How do I send email to a single
contact or a few contacts?
You can either:
◦ Click the To: or Cc: buttons on a Compose page
to open your Contacts list, and click the name
you want. To select more than one, hold down
the Ctrl button on your keyboard while clicking
the names. Or,
◦ You can just type a few letters of the person's
name or email address, and Yahoo! Mail drops
down a list of complete email address choices
that match what you've typed. Click the one you
want from the list, and Mail fills it in for you. To
add another address, type a comma after the
one you just entered, and then start typing the
next address. Again, just click the one you want
from the list, and Mail fills it in for you.
Sending to the same group again and
again?
If you're sending to a large group
repeatedly,
you might want to create a category. That
way, the next time you click To: or Cc:,
you'll see the name of this group
(category) right in your Contacts list, and
you can just click it once.
Click Compose in the upper left corner to write a
message.
On the new page, click in the blank box beside To: and
type the email address of the person you’re writing to.
Add addresses in the Cc: field if you want to send a copy
of your message to anyone else. Others receiving this
message will be able to see anyone listed in the Cc: line.

Inside Subject:, give your message a title—then write

whatever you want to in the message window. That’s the
big box below.
Sending is the easy part. Once you’re done writing (and
attaching photos or files if you want... see below), just
click Send.
Open your Address Book in a sub-
window
Clicking To:, Cc: or Bcc: (see below)
opens your Address Book in a sub-
window, from which you can select
recipients. Click Insert Checked
Contacts when you're done.
 Multiple Recipients:

Send your message to more than one

person. Add additional email addresses
after To: and separate them with
commas (e.g., johndoe@yahoo.com,
janedoe@yahoo.com, etc.). If you will
be emailing this group again, you might
want to create a category for them.
That way, in the future you can send to
the group in one click!
 Bcc:
If you want to send a copy of your message to
someone, and not let anyone else see that they’re
getting a copy, click Show Bcc above the To: line.
Bcc is blind carbon copy. Bcc: recipients are
invisible to the To: and Cc: recipients of the
message, as well as to each other. For example, if
you send a message to johndoe@yahoo.com with
a Bcc: to janedoe@yahoo.com, johndoe will see
himself as the message's only recipient. janedoe
will also get the message, and she will see that
you addressed and sent the message To: johndoe
as well.
 Check spelling:
If you’re composing in Rich Text– i.e., if you see
the row of buttons along the top of the Compose
window for Bold, Italics, etc., then click the button
toward the left with a check-mark and “abc” on it.
If you’re in Plain Text, click Spell Check at the top
– it’s between Save As A Draft and Cancel. Click
in the “Suggestions” box if you see the correct
spelling you’re looking for, then click Change.
 Can I unsend a email?
No. After you click Send, your message
can't be retrieved -- even if you send it to
another Yahoo! Mail account.
 You can pause and think twice and revise
your text before sending it, by first saving
your email as a draft. Click the Save as
Draft button to put it in your Drafts
folder -- without sending it. You can return
there anytime to make final decisions.
 Note: Yahoo! Mail now automatically
saves emails you're working on (until you
click Send) to your Drafts folder, to
protect your work if you experience an
interruption in power or connectivity.
Step 1
◦ Open your e-mail software program.
Step 2
◦ Open the Inbox, which contains the e-
mail messages that you have received.
Step 3
◦ Locate the message you want to open
- new messages will typically be
highlighted - and select it by clicking
on it.
Step 4
◦ Double-click to open the message
* How To Attach a File
To an E-mail Message

37
 E-mail gives you the ability to attach complete files
for high-speed delivery anywhere in the world. Files
can be photographs, music, letters, text,
spreadsheets or almost any other recognized format
 We say "almost" because most e-mail systems will
not let you attach Microsoft Access database files
without first taking some precautionary measures.
 That is because Access files have proven to be one
of the most effective ways for hackers to penetrate
web sites. Attaching files is typically a
straightforward navigation operation. We detail the
steps on this page.

38
 Begin the
attachment process
by opening a new
e-mail message in
the standard
manner. Then point
your mouse at the
paperclip image
on your toolbar.
(This image is
highlighted in
orange on the
illustration to the
right.) Click on the
paperclip.

39
 Next, you will be
greeted by the
Attachments
Dialog Box.
Select Browse.
Then navigate to
the file you want
to attach.

40
 In this case we
have chosen to
attach the file
"eMailMan.png".
After making
your selection,
click on Open.

41
 The Attachments
Dialog Box appears
again, this time with
the path to your
desired file specified
next to the "Browse"
button. Next, you
want to use this
path to place a copy
of your file into the
e-mail. To do this
click Attach.

42
 You may have to wait for a
period as long as a few
minutes, depending on the
speed of your connection
and the size of the
attached file. Do not do
any other operations while
the file is attaching. After
the wait is over, the name
of the attached file appears
in the white space at the
bottom of the Dialog Box.
That completes the
process. Click on Close
and return to and send
your e-mail. Remember, it
is good practice both to
provide a subject for your
e-mail and also to include a
message telling the
recipient that a file is
attached.

43
Highlighting Text
Throughout these lessons, you will be asked to highlight text. You can
use either of the following methods:

Highlighting by Using the F8 and Arrow

Keys
 Place the cursor before or after the text you wish to highlight and
click the left mouse button.
 Press the F8 key, which will serve as an "anchor" showing where text
you wish to highlight begins or ends.
 Press the appropriate arrow key (left arrow to move to the left or
right arrow to move to the right) until the text is highlighted. You
can use the up or down arrow key to highlight one line at a time.
Press Esc to remove the anchor.
45
 Here are the simple steps that can help you
to easily understand this skill

 STEP 1. Open the browser (Internet

Explorer, Mozilla Firefox)

*browser – application that allow you to access the internet

46
 STEP 2. Enter the URL in the Address bar

 There’s a lot of government portal available

over the internet. Here are some of the URL
that you can use in accessing government
portal.

47
 www.gov.ph ( this is the official portal of the
Republic of the Philippines) it contains the
current news in the government. It also
contains the important things and facts in our
country. Basically this portal is very helpful
for an individual that needs some information
regarding in the Philippine Government. This
portal has also links to other government
departments like Dept. of Health, Dept. of
Justice etc.

48
 www.dole.gov.ph ( the official site of
Department of Labor and Employment)
 www.dswd.gov.oh ( the official site of
Department of Social Welfare and
Development)
 www.owwa.gov.ph ( official site of
Overseas Workers Welfare Administration)
portal for the OFWs

49
 www.ndcc.gov.ph ( official site of National
Disaster Coordinating Center)
 www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph ( portal of
Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical &
Astronomical Services Administration )
 www.gsis.gov.ph ( official site of
Government Service and Insurance
System)
 www.pagibigfund.gov.ph (Pag-ibig Fund

Highlighting Text
Throughout these lessons, you will be asked to highlight text. You
can use either of the following methods:

Highlighting by Using the Mouse

 Place the cursor before or after the text you wish to highlight.
 Hold down the left mouse button.
 Move the mouse left, right, up, or down until the text is
highlighted.
 Netiquette Basics
◦ Help the newbies
◦ Research before asking
◦ Remember emotion
◦ People aren't organizations
◦ Be brief
◦ Use white space
◦ Use descriptive subject lines
◦ Stay on-topic
◦ Be careful sending attachments
◦ Copy the minimum number of people
◦ Include your email address
◦ Respect non-commercial spaces
◦ Avoid flaming
 Netiquette Of Replying
◦ Replying and forwarding
◦ Summarize for the group
◦ Check current information before replying
◦ Reference past communications
◦ Acknowledge important communications
 Netiquette Of Confidentiality
◦ Don't publicize other's email addresses
◦ Never send what you don't read
◦ Remember archiving
◦ Respect copyright
 New users on the Internet are
sometimes called "newbies".
Everybody was a newbie once.
 As a common courtesy to do your part to
minimize this email, you should always
check the Frequently Asked Questions files,
search the Internet, and
search the newsgroups for the answer to a
question before sending email to a human
being.
 Don't use capitals unnecessarily in email --
it designates shouting, and is considered
rude, as in the following:
 I THINK THE FACTS PROVE THIS POINT.
 If you want to emphasize a word, use stars
or underlines sparingly.
 I think the facts *prove* this point.
I think the _facts_ prove this point.
 You can use smileys sparingly to signal
emotions like smiles, winks, sadness,
surprise, etc.
 I wish I'd read this before!    ;-)

I wish I'd read this before.    :-(

 Many people send email from their work
email accounts because that is the only
email account they have. Never assume
that a person is speaking for the
organization that they work for.
