USING SEARCH ENGINES!

You may use search engines to find what you're looking for online. There are several search engines from which to pick. Common search engines include Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.

Uses of the search engine are:

  1. FOR BROWSING PURPOSES: Search engines facilitate users to extract desired information from various online sources like web pages. They are used for research purposes. They allow users to quickly and easily find information that is of genuine interest and value without drawing into the sea of irrelevant information.
  2. TO FIND ENTERTAINMENT: Not only for research purposes, but many people also use search engines to look up for latest videos, songs, movie trailers, games, and social networking sites.
  3. FOR SHOPPING: Some people use the search engine to browse shopping websites where they can buy products and they find it more efficient to use a search engine geared directly towards buying products.

A protocol in networking is a defined method of carrying out specific tasks and structuring data so that two or more devices may talk to and understand one another. Consider the letter-mailing procedure to gain an understanding of the need for procedures. Name, street address, city, state, and zip code are the order in which addresses should be written on the envelope. The post office won't deliver an envelope if the zip code, street address, state, and so on are written in that order on the outside of the envelope. For the postal system to function, addresses must be written according to a specified protocol. Similar to how all IP data packets must contain specific information in a particular order and that all IP addresses belong to a standard format.
