What is the Internet?
• Publicly accessible network of interconnected
computers which communicate via software
protocol standards
• Easily accessed (via modem and phone line,
ISDN, direct cable landline, satellite)
• Expanding global infrastructure; is pan-national
(no central control)
• Regarding information delivery, the most
significant change since the development of the
printing press in the 15th century!
Internet World Statistics 30 June 2010 http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm
Internet Growth
• Exponential growth for the last few years
• In 1993, 90,000 people used the Internet; in
2002, 600 million people used the Internet; in
2007, over 1 billion people used the Internet
• Hardware costs are decreasing year on year
• While the recent increase of usage in
developing countries has been significant, the
overall % of users is significantly less than
industrialized countries.
Internet Architecture
• Web is based on a client/server architecture using
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
• Set of rules for communication between Web clients and servers
• Code is located inside <……>
• <a href=“http://www.who.int/hinari”>HINARI</a> tells the web
browser to open the HINARI website

Access Speed Issues (Bandwidth)
• Cables vary in speed and amount of
information they can carry (bandwidth)
• Sometimes cables are slow in carrying
information or lose the signal, especially if
• information must cross long distances
• too much traffic on cable
• capacity (bandwidth) is low long distances
too much traffic on the cable
cable capacity, or bandwidth, is low
Internet Requirements for HINARI
• 128 kbps, local area network (LAN), or cable
connection required.
• A hard-wired full-time Internet connection (T1 or
better) enables the fastest downloads.
• Satellite or network connections, though slower,
are also adequate.
• Web Browser - Internet Explorer version 4.0 or
Mozilla Firefox 1.0
