27 Host computers and programs on a network What is a server Serves many users at once Users connect with server through network Midrange server smaller than mainframe and it is used for a small organization At CHS: located in closet

28 Powerful computer used in large organizations What is a main frame? Manage large amounts of centralized data More expensive and powerful Thousands of users Located in climate-controlled data centers Network access during day Data processed at night

29 What is a super computer? Most powerful and expensive computer available Extraordinary speed, accuracy and processing capability Runs one program very fast Send astronauts into space Control missile guidance 3D medical imaging For example: U.S. Department of Energy at Los Alamos Lab in California ensures safety and reliability of nation s nuclear weapon stockpile Can be very expensive Cheaper to connect hundreds of desktops into a supercomputing cluster (P13)

30 Collection of computers and devices connected What is a network? to enable users to share hardware, software and data Many sizes and types For example: home network, business lab at CHS, entire Calhoun Unit 40 network, SIUE campus

31 Your turn: Types of Computers Create a graphic illustration in Microsoft Word Go to Google images Find one image for each type of computer Save images to student folder Using Microsoft Word, place the images in smart art like the one below Types of Computers Place your name in a footer with filename Save as a web page filtered under the CCS folder on the M drive in the Types of Computers folder Common Core: (L.6, W.8)

32 Hardware connected to make the largest and most well known network Internet Thousands of individual networks are connected Each access the other on a backbone infrastructure called the Internet

33 Collection of web pages What is the World Wide Web? available on the Internet Web Site: collection of web pages belong to one company Web Server: stores web pages; continually connected to Internet Web browser: allows viewing of web pages.

35 Internet Service Providers What: Provide access to Internet backbone Who: AT & T Frontier Verizon Sprint

36 How can a network be accessed? User has a network adapter card in computer User has username and password User accesses Frontier s server through network adapter card Frontier's server asks users computer for login data User provides username and password and is granted access to Frontier s network

37 How can Internet be accessed? Internet Collection of individual networks Each network has a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address IP address is unique number that identifies a computer Domain name is text based internet address uniquely identifies a computer TLD (Top level domain).edu,.org,.com,.gov,.mil,.net,.biz,.jobs (P17)

38 Common Internet Addresses IP addresses Numeric addresses identifies a computer Domain names Text based address identifies a computer; corresponds to IP address (calhoun.k12.il.us) URLs Uniform resource locator Specifies protocol (http or ftp) to display web page

39 Sample top-level domains (TLDs) Original TLDs Intended use.com Commercial businesses..edu Educational institutions.gov Government organizations.int International treaty organizations.mil Military organizations.net Network providers and ISPs.org Noncommercial organizations Newer TLDs Intended use.aero Aviation industry.biz Businesses.fr French businesses.info Resource sites.jobs Employment sites.mobi Sites optimized for mobile devices.name Individuals.pro Licensed professionals.uk United Kingdom businesses

40 Domain Name Example http is standard protocol identifier Calhoun.k12.il.us is the web server hosting the page Hs is the folder the high school page is in Index is the name of the high school page Exhibit 1-15

41 Pronouncing Internet Addresses Internet addresses frequently given verbally How to pronounce? If a portion of the address forms a recognizable word or name, it is spoken; otherwise, it is spelled out. i.e. calhoun sign is pronounced at The period (.) is pronounced dot The forward slash (/) is pronounced slash

42 What is URL? Uniform Resource Locator Uniquely identifies a web page Specifies the protocol or rules used to display a page Most common protocol HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) HTTPS = secure connection File transfer protocol: ftp

43 What is surfing the web? Using web browser to view pages Home page: first page viewed within an organization s web site Type URL into address bar of search engine to go to home page Use favorites to bookmark to keep the page

44 Domain Name Text based name corresponds with numeric IP address ( ) Domain name is registered Domain name parts are separated by a period Far right part of name is top level domain Identifies organization Edu for education, gov for government, com for business, jp for Japan, fr for France (P17)

45 Student Create at home or in IA Google or Hotmail account Use network id for For example: This will be used for class communication and to access the Google or Sky drive which will be used for creating and saving documents Send an to with your name in subject line to show creation of

46 Computers and Society Positive Society Changes Cars, microwaves, toys, phones, bikes Processing banking transactions Exploring space Computers smaller, faster, smarter Provided technological advances in medicine, car design, online classes, speech recognition Negative Society Changes Unsolicited s, harmful programs, legal and ethical issues, Big brother data collection and personal privacy (CIPS can lower thermostat remotely) Stress to body What is done with data collected?

47 Intellectual Property Rights Legal rights to intellectual property Copyright exclusive right to publish, reproduce, distribute, perform or display work Remain in effect 70 years Not required to display copyright notice Must obtain permission to use Review examples on Page 23 #1-20 Trademark Work phrase or symbol identifying a service or company (M in McDonalds) Plagiarism Presenting someone else s work as your own Ethics Standards of moral conduct include telling the truth, not stealing songs by downloading, not copying several copies of a software, not using school printer for personal use, not cheating
