Saving Online Information

Web pages can be saved in a variety of formats. Printing a web page is simple by clicking the print button on the command bar that will send to the default printer, and always that allows you to preview the page and edit the page all you like.

The last step you would click the web archive file and just hit save, it will be pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

Feeding Your Internet

In Chapter 2, RSS Feeds informed me about a popular tool called the RSS reader. Basically what and RSS reader is, is a software that has features, used to subscribe to the web. RSS stands for (Really Simple Syndication) or ( Rich Site Summary). There are other RSS services that you could subscribe to such as Newzcrawler, or Sub headlines. It is very easy to subscribe to an RSS feed. Here are some steps to setting up an RSS Feed. You start a website such as AOL or Msn, and you click the tab button right underneath the address bar then you click the RSS button which is usually orange. When the box appears for you to subscribe to this feed and it will appear on your screen. Also i learned how to view and delete and RSS Feed, it is very simple to do so. To view your RSS feed by clicking the favorites center to view the list of feeds. To delete its just another simple process you have to learn. You can just right click on your feed you want and click delete and yes when told. Simple. The address bar and the drop down list allows you to revisit a web page just by clicking a URL in the address bar drop down list. Another feature that you could use would be the Auto Complete tool, this tool allows you to store your UR L's that you type in your address bar. Also you could store your UR L's in your Favorites and history tabs too. The address bar drop down list organizes its suggestions by " Auto Complete" Suggestions. "History" " Favorites" and there are different steps to navigate your drop down list. Suggests Sites is another feature that allows you to use your web browsing techniques to present suggestions for addition browsing. You can simply download the Suggested Sites feature and as soon as its on, your websites and information will be stored from and online service. There is also another feature you can click on which is the Suggested Sites Web Slice which is located on the favorites bar.

Using The History

This history button is another easy way to revisit a Web Site. You can display a list of these sites and pages by just clicking the history tab. You can organize your own view of the history list by clicking the view by the date button at the top of the list and selecting a different viewing order for example, by site, by most visited, or visited today. I think this tab is a good button to have because your computer automatically saves so if your computer shuts down or the battery is going dead you can always count on your history tab because you van go back to your website if you need to.


Address Bars

An IP Address in which stands for ( Internet Protocol Address). This address in terms also identifies your computer or device to the Internet. For example on IP address looks like this "69.32.133.79". Personal computers will mostly have a broadband connection or have a permanent IP Address that changes.

Chapter 2 Web Portals

A Web Portal is simply a special type of websites that basically offer online pages or maps or general purpose sites such as, Yahoo, Lycos, Msn and aol also contains email, search bar. My examples can be found inside the tourquise boxes, for example around AIM, family, Celebrity News, and Health and Diet.

Net Neutrality

What is net neutrality? Internet services should not be allowed to block, degrade or change extra for legal content and applications on the net. Yes i do care about this subject because there are some content that i would need to look up and study but if i cant get into them then i cant learn, and that blocks me from doing what i need to do. Google and Verizon are the two leading companies on the net. In early August those two started an argument for and "Open Internet". Charging for facebook or any other sites, that would be ridiculous because we already have to pay for the internet already so that would be a fight it self. I do not think the government should be charging anything. If anything i would think that the government also has internet so don't they think that they would have to pay for anything they charge also, so charging would not be doing themselves a favor at all.

Chapter 1

After reading chapter 1 "Discovering The Internet" i learned that time is changing and there are so many more things you have to learn. The internet is getting more complex and the world is interacting more and more to computers and technology. Using the internet has obviously changed the world through work, school, and communication skills. There are so many different people who use the internet to students to grandparents, all aspects of life. Basically there are many programs that are popular such as INTERNET EXPLORER, GOOGLE, FIREFOX, and many more. In the 1990's Tim Berner's Lee's develpoment caused Internet usage to expand greatly. Email is very common now that not everyone has a cell phone or maybe its just easier to use. There are many other ways to communicate on the web other than email. In the 1960's, started the worlds first computer networking system and 10,000 computers existed at that time. What i found interesting was that i always wondered when computers were brought up and how the internet was formed, it had to be a lot of work to figure out how to bring WI-FI to the entire world, its a pretty big process i would say. Its amazing to think about how everything is so connected to everyone, by just wires and technology.
