Reflections for lesson 1.

I have learnt that the internet is an extremely useful and powerful tool. With a click of a button, you have a seemingly endless amount of knowledge at your fingertips. I have also learnt the following:
-The ways we can connect to the internet is the ISP, OSP and via the Wireless Internet Service Provider
-A domain name is the text version of an IP(internet protocol) address.
-WWW refers to world wide web and a web browser is just a program that lets you access the internet.
- URL means a Uniform Resource Locator
-A link is a built in connection to another webpage
-Picture formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP
-Type of websites include blog, portal, news, informational, business, educational, entertainment, advocacy and personal.
-A FTP refers to a file transfer protocol.
