Text 4D The Internet

a) Look at the title & answer the question: What do you know about the topic? Read the article & discuss it.

(1) The Internet, a global computer network which embraces millions of users all over the world, began in the United States in 1969 as a mil­itary experiment. It was designed to survive a nuclear war. Information sent over the Internet takes the shortest path available from one com­puter to another. Because of this, any two computers on the Internet will be able to stay in touch with each other as long as there is a single route between them. This technology is called packet switching. Owing to this technology, if some computers on the network are knocked out (by a nuclear explosion, for example), information will just route around them. One such packet-switching network, which has already survived a war, is the Iraqi computer network that was not knocked out during the Gulf War.

(2) Most of the Internet host computers (more than 50 %) are in the United States, while the rest are located in more than 100 other coun­tries. Although the number of host computers can be counted fairly accurately, nobody knows exactly how many people use the Internet, there are millions worldwide, and their number is growing by thou­sands each month.

(3) The most popular Internet service is e-mail. Most of the people, who have access to the Internet, use the network only for sending and receiving e-mail messages. However, other popular services are avail­able on the Internet: reading USENET News, using the World Wide Web, telnet, FTP, and Gopher.

(4) In many developing countries the Internet may provide business­men with a reliable alternative to the expensive and unreliable telecom­munications systems of these countries. Commercial users can com­municate cheaply over the Internet with the rest of the world. When they send e-mail messages, they only have to pay for phone calls to their local service providers, not for calls across their countries or around the world. But who actually pays for sending e-mail messages over me Internet long distances, around the world? The answer is very simple: users pay their service provider a monthly or hourly fee. Part of this fee goes towards its costs to connect to a larger service provider, and part of the fee received by the larger provider goes to cover its cost of running a worldwide network of wires and wireless stations.

(5) But saving money is only the first step. If people see that they can make money from the Internet, commercial use of this network will drastically increase. For example, some western architecture compa­nies and garment centers already transmit their basic designs and con­cepts over the Internet into China, where they are reworked and refined by skilled — but inexpensive — Chinese computer-aided-design spe­cialists.

(6) However, some problems remain. The most important is security. When you send an e-mail message to somebody, this message can travel through many different networks and computers. The data is constantly being directed towards its destination by special comput­ers called routers. However, because of this, it is possible to get into any of the computers along the route, intercept and even change the data being sent over the Internet. In spite of the fact that there are many good encoding programs available, nearly all the information being sent over the Internet is transmitted without any form of encod­ing, i.e. " in the clear ". (7) But when it becomes necessary to send impor­tant information over the network, these encoding programs may be useful. Some American banks and companies even conduct transac­tions over the Internet. However, there are still both commercial and technical problems, which will take time to be resolved.

b) Match:

· even / however / over / in spite of the fact that / by / into / through / along / still / towards / only / for example / because of this / already / during / around / more than / although / for

// по / даже / через / вдоль / еще / к / в / посредством (кем?) / только / уже / например / однако / из-за этого / несмотря на тот факт, что / во время / более, чем / около, вокруг / для / хотя

· the most important / received / skilled / inexpensive / such / packet-switching / avail­able

// умелый / наиважнейший / полученный / такой / доступный / неопытный / пакетного подключения

· to send an e-mail message / to travel through many different networks and computers / to intercept / to get into any computer / to take time to be resolved / to cover a larger service provider / to drastically increase / to transmit their basic designs and con­cepts / to rework / to refine / to embrace / it is possible / it becomes necessary

// проходить через множество разных сетей и компьютеров / передавать свои базовые разработки и концепции / покрывать (затраты) более крупного провайдера / проникать в любой компьютер / включать /нужно время для решения / отправить сообщение по электронной почте / перехватывать / решительно (неуклонно) возрастает / усовершенствовать / переработать, обработать / становится необходимо / возможно.

c) Translate. both commercial and technical problems / a router / network / a monthly or hourly fee / its costs to connect to / a part of this fee goes / its cost of running a worldwide network / wires and wireless stations / saving money / the first step / commercial use / security / computer-aided-design spe­cialists / i.e. " in the clear " / over the Internet / along the route / the data being sent / the Iraqi computer network / to be knocked out / the Gulf War / just route around / to survive a war / can be counted fairly accurately / nuclear explosion / the number of host computers / nobody knows exactly / worldwide / is growing by thou­sands / to have access / sending and receiving.

d) Ask your fellow students:

1. what the Internet is; 2. when, where and how the Internet began; 3. what is the main principle of the information sending over the Internet; 4. How this technology is called; 5. where most of the Internet host computers are located; 6. how many people use the Internet; 7. what Internet service is the most popular; 8. to name other popular services avail­able on the Internet; 9. what he (she) uses the Internet for; 10. to compare the Internet with telecom­munications systems; 11. what users pay their service provider; 12. what people can make from the Internet; 13. to speak about some western architecture compa­nies and garment centers' activities over this network; 14. whether any problems remain, and which ones; 15. what special comput­ers directing the data towards its destination are called; 16. if there are many good encoding programs available; 17. what for these encoding programs may be useful; 18. if nearly all the information being sent over the Internet is transmitted without any form of encod­ing; 19. what American banks and companies conduct over the Internet.
