Internet has been the most useful technology of the modern times
which helps us not only in our daily lives, but also our personal and
professional lives developments. The internet helps us achieve this in
several different ways.
For the students and educational purposes the internet is
widely used to gather information so as to do the research or add to the
knowledge of any sort of subject they have. Even the business personals
and the professions like doctors, access the internet to filter the
necessary information for their use. The internet is therefore the
largest encyclopedia for everyone, in all age categories.
The internet has served to be more useful in maintaining
contacts with friends and relatives who live abroad permanently. The
easiest communication means like the internet chatting systems and the
emails are the best and the most common for the maintaining contacts
with the people around the world.
Not to forget internet is useful in providing with most of the
fun these days. May it be all the games, and networking conferences or
the online movies, songs, dramas and quizzes, internet has provided the
users with a great opportunity to eradicate the boredom from their
lives.
Internet is also used to upgrade the internet and use special
software to work on the projects and documentation works as the internet
enables the user to download a myriad of different software for a
variety of different purposes, making it much easier than buying the
costly software cds.

There are many different applications of the internet used commonly
across the world. The most common names are the JAVA, JAVA script and
the Flash.
These are the most useful as well as the most frequently used
applications which need to be installed on the computer before the full
access of the internet can be guaranteed.
The flash is required for the animated videos and pictures. For
example the electronic greeting cards these days used extensively for
various occasions all require the us if the internet application Flash.
Some websites which are used to upload videos online like the most
commonly used YouTube also require the latest flash player to work.
Every other website consists of flash content these days and so it is
one of the most useful applications of the internet.
Another mentioned application which is also well-known is the
JAVA; java is also needed for the internet access to a certain extent.
For example using the ftp services on the internet, you need to have the
JAVA technology JVM to be able to manage and control the documentation
transfers.
These applications are basically used to run the applets on the
internet web pages which are made to work with them, without these
tools the internet though can be easily accessed it does not offer all
the features to the user, which might also be some useful information.
The internet applications all reduce the traffic on the network
and thus make the server work on a much optimized level. All the
applications are interoperable, and support the cross platforms, both of
the OS servers and the clients.

Think .biz and .mobi are a little weird to see at the end of an Internet address? You ain't seen nothing yet.
Because on Wednesday, the first 4 of a planned 1,400 new Net-address
suffixes -- called generic top-level domains, or GTLDs -- were built
into the fabric of the Internet. The first four new GTLDs,
taking advantage of the newer ability to extend beyond Latin character
sets, are the Chinese word for game, the Arabic word for Web, and the
Russian words for online and site.
"In addition to facilitating competition and innovation through the New
gTLD Program, one of ICANN's key aims is to help create a globally
inclusive Internet, regardless of language or region. For this reason,
we elected to prioritize the processing of IDN applications and their
delegation," Akram Atallah, ICANN's president of generic domains, said
in a blog post.
The years-long process is overseen by ICANN, the International
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which proceeded despite
complaints from trademark holders worried about an explosion of new
destinations where they must worry about trademark protection.
The new domains have been added to the root servers that hold the master list of Internet addresses, ICANN announced Wednesday,
but aren't yet live for real-world use. That change will wait at least
30 days for a "sunrise period" during which trademark holders can
register addresses using their own trademarks.
For example, General Motors might also want to register not just
chevrolet.com, but also chevrolet.car, chevrolet.nyc, and chevrolet.eco.
