INTERNET

 WHO OWNS THE INTERNET?

Nobody-not a single person,company or goverment.The Internet is a network of millions of interconnected computers and servers spread across the globe. A nonprofit international group called the Internet society does watch over the globe network,estabilishing protocol(a system of rules for sharing data)and promoting its evolution and across to every body


Why do Internet addressed start with http://WWW?

HTTP,Which stands for "hypertext transfer protocol"is the language of rules that controls how your browser navigates the network of linked pages known as the World Wide Web(which is where the "WWW"comes from).When you enter a website name into your browser's address bar(or click on a link within a page),protocols contact the site's hosting server and fetch the requested webpage,which then pops up on your computer screen.


Is THE WORLD WIDE WEB REALLY AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

Technically,yes,but many countries such as,Iran,the people's Republic of China,Syeria,and North Korea or filters access to the internet or punish citizens who post information that's deemed critical to the goverment


HOW does a SEARCH ENGINE WORK?

Each time you enter a word or phase(say"the five best desserts")into a search engine,the following things happen behind the scenes in about one-eighth of a second.



STEP1:Sort
  The Search engine uses algorithms(mathematical formulas)to determine exactly what you're hunting for,adding in synonyms("tatiest treats"),anticipat-ing your teams before you've made a mistake(did you mean "best deserts"instead of "best desserts").


STEP2:Search
   Your request is sent to the search engine's servers.Here,the company that owns the search engine maintains a massive index of all the words,photos,videos,songs,and other data strewn across the World Wide Web.This information-enough to fill hundreds of millions of gigabytes-is continuosly collected and updated by progames called "spiders"that crawl the web and sift through its through its information.


STEP3:Collect
  From its index,the search engine gathers every Web page with content that matches your search term.Results are filtered based on hundreds of factors,including the pages'age,the number of people who've visited the pages,their estimated reability,and more.


STEP4:Voila
       The results are ranked as links in your web browser,with the most relevant Web pages at the top of the list.



How BIG IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB?
According to Google,the World Wide Web is made of more than 60trillion individuals pages-more pages than the number of neurons in your brain.

VELLORE MUTINY

VELLORE MUTINY   Vellore was the capital of erstwhile North Arcot district in Tamil Nadu. At present, this district is named after its capital Vellore. It is a well fortified and beautiful city. With the expansion of the East India Company's rule in India, the native rulers and their dependents suffered. The native rulers either submitted or rebelled. These rebellions had no clear vision or ideal but purely motivated by the territorial interest of the native rulers and their ambition to preserve the old feudal order. The heroism and sacrifice of individuals like Puli Thevar, Kattabomman and Marudhu Brothers had no parallel. But all these Leaders never organised the common people for a unified and meaningful cause. The ideas of nationalism , political consciousness and organized struggle came much later.

PALAYAKKARAR REBELLION

  INTRODUCTION In Tamil Nadu, as in other parts of India, the earliest expressions of opposition to Brithish rule took the form of Localized rebellions and uprisings. Chief among these was the revolt of the Palayakkaras (Poligars) against the East India Company. The Palayakkarar system had evolved with the extension of Vijayanagar rule into Tamil Nadu. Each Palayakkarar was the holder of a territory or Palayam (usually consisting of a few villages), granted to him in return for military service and tribute. In most cases, the Palayakkarars gave little attention to perform their duties and were interested in increasing their own powers. With their numerical strength, extensive resources, local influence and independent attitude, the Palayakkarars came to constitute a powerful force in the political system of South India. They regarded themselves as independent, sovereign authorities within their respective Palayams, arguing that their lands had been handed down to them across a span...
