The term net book is meant by, that net books is a small portable computing device, which is very similar to a notebook, and is great for surfing the Web and checking e-mail. the differentiates a net book from a notebook is its physical size and the computing power. The term cloud computing is, running applications in or from network servers. Computing "in the cloud" may refer to a company's own network, but often refers to the Internet and the use of Web browser-based or rich client applications. It implies a trend toward thin client computing, which was embodied in the "network computer" of the late 1990s. An example of cloud computing would be: -*Google Apps provides common business applications online that are accessed from a Web browser. The software comes from the Web servers, and the data may be stored on the servers as well.

Internet Addresses
1. What is a URL?
Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global Address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.
2. What is an IP address and how is it related to a URL?
The first part of the address is called a protocol identifier and it indicates what protocol to use, and the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP Address or the domain name where the resource is located. The protocol identifier and the resource name are separated by a colon and two forward slashes. For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:*ftp://www.pcwebopedia.com/stuff.exe *http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html
3.Given our school website's URL is http://http://www.mcauley.nsw.edu.au/, what is our domain name and what protocol do you need to use to access the site?
* domain: - mcauley.nsw.edu.au
* protocol: - http://
4. In the context of an IP address, what is an octect?
In computing, an octet is a grouping of eight bits.
Broadband Speedtest
For a bit of fun determine the speed of our internet connection using the site below. Start by testing the connection speed to the Sydney location then select a different location from the map (drag the map to find a location).http://www.speedtest.net/1.What is meant by upload and download speeds?
*Download Speed: -The speed at which data is sent from the Internet to your computer.
*Upload Speed: -The speed at which data is sent from your computer to the Internet.
2.What are the units used to measure download speeds?
We use kb for kilobit and KB for kilobyte throughout the site. So unless you see it in upper case, then it means kilobits. You can change it to other measurements in the settings panel found at the top left of every page. Everything on Speedtest.net (including result images) will utilize the setting you choose.
3.Why do different locations offer different download speeds?
Hint: “bottleneck”Speedtest.net itself experiences over twenty million tests every month providing unparalleled global broadband statistics. At no cost, anyone can use our World Results section to browse top bandwidth speed by country, or narrow down statistics to very specific locations.
