What Is The Internet?

The Internet, also known as "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks in which users at any one computer can get data from any other computer. It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANET. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a computer at one university to be able to communicate with computers at other universities. A side benefit of ARPANET's design was that, because messages could be sent in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster. Luckily, we've never had to test if it works.

Today, the Internet is self-sustaining and is used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. For many Internet users, email has replaced the Post Office for short messages. You can also carry on live conversations with other computer users using Internet Chat. Currently, Internet telephone hardware and software allow real-time voice conversations (VOIP) including free long distance for voice calls between two computers.

The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web ("the Web") developed by Tim Berners-Lee. On most web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest and sometimes also underlined. When you point to one of these words or phrases by clicking the left button of your mouse, you will be transferred to the page that is associated with this word or phrase. These are called hyperlinks or links. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that can be "clicked". If you move the pointer over a spot on a web site and the pointer changes into a hand,

this indicates that you can click it and be transferred to another site.

With the web, you have access to millions of pages of information. Web browsing is done with a web browser. Currently, the most popular web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Another excellent alternative is Opera. Depending on your connection speed, browsers can support such advanced features as animation, video, sound, and music.

What is a Country? देश भनेकाे के हाे?

Yesterday, on January 13, Nepal's Coat of Arms was updated to add Kalapani and Limpiyadhura as in the new Political map. In this context, we today discuss on what actually 'a country is for it's citizen.' देश भनेकाे के हाे? What is a Country? जनताका लागि देश के हो ? जनताका लागि देश संविधान, कानुन, नागरिकता, सिमाना र झन्डा मात्र हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश राजधानी, त्यसबीच ठडिएको दरबार र त्यसको गजुर हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश भनेको सरकार हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश निर्वाचन क्षेत्र मात्र हो ? हुँदै होइन । त्यसो भए जनताका लागि के हो त देश ? जनताका लागिदेश चार सिमानाभित्रको माटो मात्र होइन । योसँगै जोडिने भावना, प्रेम, ऊर्जा र सपनाहरूको बगैंचा हो । जनताका लागि देश आशा हो । जनताका लागि देश खेतमा झरेको पसिनाको बियाड हो । आन्दोलनहरूमा सडकमा पोखिएको रगत हो । आफ्ना सपनाहरूको कविता हो । जस्तो, एउटा शिशुका लागि आमाको काख । जस्तो, भर्खर हिँड्दै गरेको एउटा बालकका लागि पिताजीको हात । एउटा यात्रीका लागि देश बाटो हो, जसमाथि ऊ आफ्ना पैतालाका डोबहरू छोड्छ र गन्तव्यतिर बढ्छ । देश भनेको ...
