6. Communication Softwares
TCP/IP- A protocol that controls information exchange for computers on the internet
2. Give three general reasons for the importance of computer networking
a. Hardware- People are able to share resourses for hardware which allows more efficiency in both performance and cost.
b. People- People are able to communicate with each over large distances, which saves a lot of time. It allows people to do things everyday, such as an online business meeting, which would otherwise be impossible.
c. Software- The Internet allows the sharing of software. In this way, people can sell their softwares online. This allows for a larger range of consumers for a business.
9. What are the differences between email and instant messaging systems?
An email is more of a 'letter'. One sends it, placing in it what they want, like a picture. The receiver then gets the letter the next time he/she checks their email/mail. An instant messenger is like talking to a person face to face. The other person has to be there (or online) and it is harder to transfer files, or show the person picture.
10. Potential problems with email and teleconferencing.
Viruses can be sent through email, which could cause a system failure.
Teleconferencing doesn't allow for the users to revise what they are going to share before they do so.
