Internet/Computer Review Questions

a) Why is it hard to determine how big the Internet is today? Give several reasons.
--Billions of people have access to the internet, so as long as they're able to contribute to the growth of the internet (which most people do), then the growth of the Internet cannot be calculated. We can't really tell how big the Internet is, today, because of how many people are using it. People make their own websites, leave comments and links, share ideas, make their own blogs, and advertise for their own companies. While ideas are shared, people learn new things and want to inform others about these new ideas, concepts, terms, and such.
The possibilities are endless.

b) Why are TCP/IP protocols so important to the functioning of the Internet? What do they do?
--TCP/IP protocols are very important to the functioning of the Internet because they are used for internet CONNECTIONS. So, without them, there might not be many people who HAVE any internet access.
