Email

How Email Works?

Email or electronic mail is an online technology which was created in 1971. The usage of email has rapidly increased from then and is now a major part of some people's lives. Email is essentially a message that is sent to an individual post box on a mail server where it waits until an email client picks it up. Someone can only send an email by being connected to an email server, such as Outlook Express, as long as their computer is connected to the internet. Another way someone can send an email is through a browser based client such as the websites Hotmail and Yahoo.

An email system essentially allows you to:

• see a list of messages in your mailbox, showing the sender's name, subject of the message and the date and time the email was sent to you
• selecct individual messages to view
• compose messages
• add attachments to emails

The Risks of Email

When you open an email you could get a virus or trojan horse or trojan. A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability. A Trojan horse, or Trojan, is a type of malware that masquerades as a legitimate file or helpful program possibly with the purpose of granting a hacker unauthorized access to a computer. Trojans do not attempt to inject themselves into other files like a computer virus. Trojan horses may steal information, or harm their host computer systems. Trojans may use drive-by downloads or install via online games or internet-driven applications in order to reach target computers. The term is derived from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology because Trojan horses employ a form of social engineering, presenting themselves as harmless, useful gifts, in order to persuade victims to install them on their computers.

Statistics

I started the ICT course and also created my blog. I created this blog so I can easily record the work I complete during the year. I use a blog to record the work because it is a place I can easily access wherever I am as I only need the internet to access it.

Today I have been looking at the different search engines and comparing them to find out if each search engine produces the same results and to see which one produces the most results. The information and get from testing the searcg engines will helkp me which search engine to use in different circumstances. The three search engines I comapared were Google (https://www.google.co.uk/), Bing (http://www.bing.com/) and Askjeeves (http://uk.ask.com/?adt=0&o=312&l=dir). I have found out that each search engines come out with similar results, although they are in different orders. I also found out that Google produces the most results for each search.

I then went onto to the Office for National Statistics (http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/index.html) to find out the internet usage statistics in the UK. Baically what I found out is that as the age of the average person went up, the less time or internet usage they used. I also found out that the number of people who own computers and hgave internet access at home has also increased.

The graph below shows that internet usage differs between different age groups. It shows that the peak amout of internet usage used is between the ages of 35 and 44 years old. It also shows that the amount of internet usage increases up to the ages group 35 - 44 years old and then decreases as the age group increases.
