Internet - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Resolution: The Federal Networking Council (FNC) agrees that the following language reflects our definition of the term "Internet." "Internet" means the global information system that:
        (1) is logically linked by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions/continuations;
        (2) is capable of supporting communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/continuations, and/or other IP-compatible protocols; Y
        (3) provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high-level services provided by the communications and related infrastructure.
  - - - Communication services
        Electronic mail, E-mail: It is probably the most widespread service on the Internet. There is always a simple and cheap way to communicate by e-mail.
        This service allows the exchange of electronic messages with any user of the Internet (and other networks).
        There are multimedia extensions (MIME) that allow you to send any type of information associated with a message: data, text, sound, images, etc.
        
        Interest groups, News: With this service you can create discussion platforms on various topics, since it allows questions to be launched to the world, so that they can be answered by someone, giving rise to virtual round tables.
        
        Search Mechanisms
        
        Archie: Finding something that is known to be on the Internet, but you don't know where, has been a problem, due to the large amount of information that exists. To solve this, different types of search engines have emerged.
        
        Gopher: This service is aimed at taking a look at the resources that exist, rather than looking for something specific. It was developed at the University of Minnesota, and allows you to search for resources using menus and browsing inside computers, going through their directories, as if it were a gopher.
        
        Word Wide Web, www: It is the newest service on the Internet and the most famous to the point of sometimes confusing the Internet itself with the www service. It was developed at CERN in Geneva to guide its researchers through the web of information at their disposal. It is based on hypertext technology.
- - - - Message Structure Email messages, like old documents, have a formal structure. They begin with a heading that specifies:
        • the sender (from:),
        • the addressee (to: or to:),
        • the day and time it was sent (date:),
        • and what it is about (topic: or issue:).
        
        Functioning
        Making it as simple as possible, when a user sends a message, the software that handles it contacts the recipient's computer, using the email address, and transfers a copy of the message to it (using the standard protocol that controls file transfer on the Internet, TCP) that is stored in the recipient's mailbox, at the same time that he is notified.
        To ensure the quality of the delivery, the sending computer saves a complete copy of the message during the transfer.
- - - - A special type of electronic commerce is electronic selling, in which a supplier provides goods or services to a customer in exchange for payment. A special case of electronic sales would be one in which the client is an ordinary consumer instead of another company.
      - Types of Electronic Commerce Electronic commerce, according to the agents involved, can be subdivided into four different categories:
        • company-company
        • business-consumer
        • company-administration
        • consumer-administration
        
        Opportunities
        The impact of electronic commerce will be felt both in companies and in society in general. For those companies that fully realize its potential, e-commerce offers the possibility of disruptive changes, changes that radically change customer expectations and redefine the market or create entirely new markets.
        
        Global presence/Global choice: The limits of electronic commerce are not defined by geographical or national borders, but by the coverage of computer networks.
        
        Increased competitiveness/Service quality: Electronic commerce allows providers to increase competitiveness by becoming closer to their customers.
        
        Generalized adaptation/Personalized products and services: Providers can have detailed information of the needs of each individual customer and automatically adjust their products and services.
        
        Shorter delivery chains/Quicker response: E-commerce can often drastically shorten delivery chains.
        
        Reduction of costs / Reduction of prices: One of the greatest contributions of electronic commerce is the reduction of transaction costs.
        
        New Business/New Products and Services: In addition to redefining markets for existing products and services, e-commerce also provides entirely new products and services.
