So why is it helpful,
This internet has come a very long way. And provides dynamic flexibility to its users. From content sharing and retrieval to social media and advertising among many other uses, the internet has become the global market place, and resource outlet.

So how does one get connected.

Modem:  Short for Modulator Demodulator, is a device which transfers the Digital signals emitted from the   computer into analog signals along a telephone line then back to digital signals on the networked computer for data to be processed.
