Internet and other novelties

The Internet functions as a medium for data transmission in much the same way that the international telephone network functions as a medium for voice and other signal transmission. The telephone system consists of connections and the required supporting hardware and cabling to people, organizations and devices answering and fax machines, computers and others but does not include those things nor does it include the signals being sent over it.

The Internet can be said to consist of the connections and the required supporting hardware and cabling between network and not the data stored on and made accessible from those network. The Internet Advisory Board (IAB) provides oversight to the Internet Engineering Task Force, which is responsible for evaluating and defining Internet protocols. The Internet protocols are also known as TCP/IP the 2 most central protocols defining inter network transmissions. If you are using a computer connected to a network that conforms to the Internet protocols and is connected to global Internet, we can exchange data with any other computer connected to global Internet as long as that computer also conforms to Internet protocols.

Networks and Electronic transactions today- With wide spread use of credit cards, consumers and merchants have been happily transacting business over telephone network for many years. Once participants in electronic market understand the mechanisms set up for transacting business across the Internet, buying and selling online will be at least as simple and trusted a method as buying by phone or in person.
