These computers are known as “servers.” Accessing and the beginning of web addresses as “http.” This process allows your computer to communicate with servers and display the web pages you want to view. The information that makes up a web page has a few different ways it can get to you. Telephone and cable lines are the most common. These lines do not connect directly into your computer; instead they connect to a modem, which in turn connects to a computer by a network cable. The modem acts as a translator, receiving information from the outside web to deliver to your computer through the network cable, and vice versa. While Internet users were tethered to their modems for many years, there are now alternatives available. Wireless modems and routers, which converts data received from cables into radio signals, are one such option. These radio signals can be picked up by computers with a wireless card, allowing them full access to the Internet without being physically connected to their modem through a networking cable. Many devices such as phones and MP3 players are now made to interface with these wireless signals as well. While the Internet has been constantly evolving for many years, growing larger and getting faster, the core basics of how it functions have remained the same. What it will look like in the future though, is anyone’s guess.

INTERNET LINGO While technology can be complicated, it can be easier to understand once you know the terminology. Browser: A computer program that allows users to view web pages. A commonplace example is Internet Explorer. Server: A computer that hosts data, such as websites, for other computers to access. Router: A piece of hardware that allows computers to connect together, forming a network. Firewall: Types of computer software that protects a computer from unauthorized outsiders trying to gain access. Wifi: A short range, wireless computer network that allows access to the Internet. URL: An acronym that stands for “uniform resource locator,” more simply known as a web address. SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 2012 PAGE 15A

With spring break officially four weeks away, you still have enough time to either make some plans — or make sure the plans you have made include some of the most important last-minute details. “If you’re leaving the country, make sure you have all of your updated documents, including passports,” said John Schmitt, of Superior Travel, with an office in Fenton. “Make sure your documentation matches the name on your birth certificate, so if you have remarried, divorced, changed your name, etc., you’ll want to be sure that you update your passport. Otherwise, you could be denied entrance into another country or back home. Ten years ago, you could’ve ‘slid by,’ but not so anymore.” To update your passport, you still have time to get your documents in order.
