1.4


Have you ever wondered about the infrastructure of the internet? how your personal computer gets connected to the internet? The internet is basically a network of networks all coming together to form the internet, so when you log onto the internet you are also apart of this network. I personally use a modem which dials a special number through our telephone line which hooks up to our ISP (Internet Service Provider) this is connected to a POP (Point of Presence) which is where all local users connect. Through a T3 line the POP Connects to a NAP (Network Access Point) or if you are a LAN (Local Area Network) user it would connect to the NAP through a T1 line, this is because there is no controlling network but there are these NAP's that we connect to this helps us connect to the internet through a backbone. Most communication companies have their own dedicated backbone which connects users from the NAP to the actual internet and that's how the internet infrastructure works. All this sounds complicated but is really very simple and it all happens in the blink of an eye.

Ever wondered what the difference between a wiki and a blog is? Let me explain.

A wiki is much like a site that a lot of people write on which create a wiki but on a blog only one person creates posts. Here's 3 diffrences to help you understand

1. A wiki has many authors but a blog has only 1.
2.People can comment on a blog but can't on a wiki
3.A blog is more social where as a wiki is more informative

But how are they similar? here's some examples:
1. They both hold information that anyone can access for research purposes
2.They both use a URL platform
3.They both hold information that is not accredited.

Hi, My name is Javon Francis, I am 18 years old and stay in Durban South Africa. I am currently studying graphic design at Rosebank College and have discovered my digital footprint. The only trace of myself that I could find on the internet was through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
