The Internet

In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a
research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet
networks of various kinds. The objective was to develop communication protocols which
would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, linked
packet networks. This was called the Internetting project and the system of networks
which emerged from the research was known as the "Internet." The system of protocols
which was developed over the course of this research effort became known as the TCP/IP
Protocol Suite, after the two initial protocols developed: Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). (I got my information for the history of the internet at
www.isoc.org In 1986, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the
development of the NSFNET which, today, provides a major backbone communication
service for the Internet. With its 45 megabit per second facilities, the NSFNET carries on
the order of 12 billion packets per month between the networks it links. The National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Department of Energy
contributed additional backbone facilities in the form of the NSINET and ESNET
respectively. In Europe, major international backbones such as NORDUNET and others
provide connectivity to over one hundred thousand computers on a large number of
networks. Commercial network providers in the U.S. and Europe are beginning to offer
Internet backbone and access support on a competitive basis to any interested parties.
One positive issue about the internet is that it is so much easier to buy or even sell things
like on eBay. If you find something that you want to sell you don’t have to put it in the
news paper you can put it on the web where you would have a much better chance of
selling it. My resource for this is www.ebay.com Another positive thing is if you need to
talk to somebody on the phone that is another state and you don’t want to pay long
distance billing and if they got the internet you can just get onto a chatroom and talk for
free. My resource for this is www.msn.com. Plus another positive issue about the internet
is you can meet new people. I know a girl who met a guy on the internet and they have
been dating now for over 2 years and plan to get married.

Some bad issues about the internet is that if you do happen to meet a person online you
never really know who they are unless you meet them in person because the internet can
only allow you to talk to them: it can’t let you meet them. So for all you know it could be
a man or an extremely young girl. Plus another bad thing is if you order something online
then you have to give out your credit card numbers and your passwords and people can
hack into your computer system and get them and then go spend a lot of your hard earned
money and you may never even know who it is or how to stop them. Also if you have
little children then they can get online and get into a lot of trouble like going into
websites that little kids shouldn’t be going into and some of those cost money per minute
your in there almost like when you dial a 1-900 phone number so then when you get your
telephone bill it’s like 200 bucks.

The internet has made a good impact on my life. It has help to finish my homework faster
by giving me tons of resources to get my information from. Plus I can talk to my aunt and
uncle who live in Tennessee and it don’t cost long distance and I can parts to fix up my
car a lot cheaper then getting them out of a magazine. It has made a bad influence on me
though because it takes up a lot of my time like when I go to download music or when I
play games on the internet it has cost me a lot of money before and I didn’t even know it.
Also downloading music is illegal and if I was to ever get caught in that I would say I
would have a really big fine to pay and probably may even face jail time over something
so little as downloading a song or two. Also they are a lot of money, some now are over
like 4,000 dollars. But I guess the more money you end up spending on one is the better
off you and the computer will be.

The internet has come a very long way in the past 50 years. New inovations such as
integrated software and hardware has changed the way that poeple view and obtain
information today. The internet is a global computer network connecting millions and
millions of users throughout the world. "It is a network connecting many computer
networks and is based on a common addressing system and communications protocol."It
has become one of the fastest growing forms of communication today(Encyclodpedia
Britannica 1999).
The Internet got started by the Defense Department as a Cold War experiment in the
1950’s. The government needed a way to relay information between tanks and
headquarters so the ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) sought a way to let
signals from the battlefield reach a headquarters computer using satellites and radio
signals. At this time our command posts were hidden underground in fear of a nuclear
attack. "Paul Baran, working for the U.S. Air Force, developed a network that could
reroute itself around damage caused by the impact of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
by using 'redundancy of connectivity'". This meant that if there was a break in the
network, the server would re-route the information on an alternate path through a new
technique called 'packet switching'. "Packet Switching is a means of breaking up the
message being sent into small packets which carry enough inf.

The internet links people together into a web of networks and shared
software using computer terminals and telephone lines or wireless radio
connections.The basic internet was formed about 4 or 5 years ago by the United
States government with the idea to pass information between themselves rapidly
and efficently. Groups like the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard,
and NASA all used the internet to communicate, and still do today.
One of the keypoints that make the internet a good tool for anybody is
communication. The internet provides a cheap, convienient, and quick source of
it communication. Ways to communicate on the internet include "Telnet sites,"
which lets users chat with other internet users. Since there are a large
variety of users from around the world, these sites allow one to learn about
people and different cultures from around the world.
Carbohydrates supply us with the energy needed in our daily activity. Carbohydrates are
essay to convert to glucose, the fuel for body cell. Lacking glucose will direct affect to
our moon and behavior. Simple sugar and complex carbohydrates are the two major
forms of carbohydrates.
Proteins are repairing bone, muscle, skin, and blood cells. Proteins are also protecting us
from disease, such as enzymes control chemical activities in the body, and hormones
govern body functions. Proteins help in the transport of iron, oxygen, and nutrients to all
body cells and supply another source of energy to cells.
Fats are maintaining healthy skin and hair, insulating body organs against shock,
maintaining body temperature, and promoting healthy cell function. Fats carry the fat
soluble and provide energy when lack of sufficient amounts of carbohydrates. Fats are
consisted of 95% Triglycerides and 5% cholesterol.
Vitamins are Essential organic compounds that promote growth and reproduction and
help maintain life and health. Vitamins help maintain nerves and skin, produce blood
cells, build bones and teeth, heal wounds, and convert food energy to body energy.
Vitamins can be dissolved by the fats and water.
Minerals aid vitamins easily soak up. Without minerals, vitamins will become useless.
Minerals are easily excreted and usually not poisonous. For instance, sodium regulates of
blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and calcium
improves strong bones and teeth, regulating heartbeat, and fluid balance within cells, etc.
Water is the most important nutrient than others. In average, people could survive for
weeks by only having water without food. 50% to 60% water maintains in our body aid
in fluid and electrolyte balance, maintains pH balance. Water carries oxygen and
nutrients to organic tissues and is conscientious for keeping cells in working order.

Today with the advanced progress of medical science and the health system capacity, the
population‘s health care seeking behavior is much more improved. However the fact that
people’s access to good health care should or should not depend on social factors such as
their level of income or social status has so far aroused much concerns. As far as I
concerned, all people should be allowed to access health care services regardless of their
social backgrounds.
First of all, good health care access is considered as one of the essential human rights.
This matter has become far more pressing in this modern society. People day by day
suffer from inevitable new threats that strongly affect their length of life such as terminal
illness, accidents, epidemics and other emerging diseases like stress or hurry sickness…
health care service is therefore very important to ensure people’s survival for the first and
then step by step improve people ‘s quality of life.
In the second place, getting accessed to health system for all people is one of the effective
solutions to narrow down the gap between the rich and the poor. As the poor are offered
chances to improve both physical and mental health, they are more likely to get jobs and
work more efficiently. In this way, they are able to escape the daunting poverty and
explore their potential capacity.
However, some high-income people suggest that it is unfair for them to pay high taxes in
order to cover the health care expenses for the poor. To my mind, are they so selfish?
Whether or not they realize the fact that the poor’s cheap source of labor partly
contributes to their affluence. Moreover, the lower-class are those who severely suffered
from negative affects caused by the higher-class’ accumulation such as environment
pollution, inflation, discrimination and so on.
In conclusion, as all people are created equally, the factor of financial and social status
must be removed when considering the matter of accessing health care services for
people. And ensuring all citizens’ accessibility to health care system is one of the surest
ways for a country to set its course towards a better future .
