The  Internet  is the backbone of the Web, the technical infrastructure that makes the Web possible. At its most basic, the Internet is a large network of computers which communicate all together. The history of the Internet is somewhat obscure. It began in the 1960s as a US-army-funded research project, then evolved into a public infrastructure in the 1980s with the support of many public universities and private companies. The various technologies that support the Internet have evolved over time, but the way it works hasn't changed that much: Internet is a way to connect computers all together and ensure that, whatever happens, they find a way to stay connected. A Simple Network When two computers need to communicate, you have to link them, either physically (usually with an Ethernet Cable ) or wirelessly (for example with Wifi  or Bluetooth  systems). All modern computers can sustain any of those connections. Such a network is not limited to...

U.S Health and Human services secretary Tom Price resigned under pressure from Donald Trump on Friday in an uproar over Price's use of costly private charter planes for government business. The White House said Tom Price offered his resignation and Trump accepted it. His abrupt departure was announced an hour after Trump told reporters he was disappointed in Price's use of private aircraft and did not like the way it reflected on his administration. Trump named Don Wright to serve as acting secretary. Wright is currently the deputy assistant secretary for health and director of the office of disease prevention and health promotion. Candidates to succeed Price included Seema Verma, who is an administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and who is close to Vice President Mike Pence, and Scott Gottlieb, a physician who serves as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, according to industry analysts. Price's resignation leaves Trump wit...

How can I find out if other people are leeching my Wi-Fi, and how do I stop them if they are? Besides the fact that your WiFi moocher may be slowing down your connection, people connected to your network may also have access to some of your shared folders (depending on what security measures you use), and if someone's using your connection to do illegal things, like hack the smart things  in your home, it could even bring the authorities to your doorstep. Don't worry, though, I can help you find out if, indeed, your WiFi is being stolen and help you put an end to it. Low-Tech Method: Check Your  Wireless Router  Lights Your  wireless router  should have indicator lights that show Internet connectivity, hardwired network connections, and also any  wireless  activity, so one way you can see if anyone's using your network is to shut down all  wireless  devices and go see if that  wireless  light is still blinking. The trouble ...

Facebook is rolling ou t a new feature  to help blood donors, and the people who need it in India find each other. Making it Easier to Become a Blood Donor On Oct. 1, India's National Blood Donor Day, Facebook will start prompting users to sign up as blood donors. People will see the prompt in their timelines and can tag themselves as donors in their profiles, and choose to share this with friends. In the weeks after, it'll then allow people or organisations seeking blood to create posts to request for it. The post can be geotargeted, so it pushes a notification to tagged donors who are nearer to the seeking party. When donors accept the request, organisations will be able to reach them privately via phone call, or Facebook's Messenger and WhatsApp platforms. Facebook says this feature is serving a real need. India faces a blood shortage, where it has about 10 percent less donated than it needs. More than  38,000 donations  are needed each day to address ...

If you love taking  selfies , here comes something new to experiment with. Researchers at the University of Nottingham in Britain have developed a technology capable of producing 3D  facial reconstruction  from a single 2D image - the  3D selfie .  The new web app allows people to upload a single colour image and receive, in a few seconds, a 3D model showing the shape of their face.  Aside from the more standard applications, such as face and emotion recognition, this technology - scheduled to be presented at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2017 in Venice in October -- could be used to personalise computer games, improve augmented reality and let people try on online accessories such as glasses.  It could also have medical applications - such as simulating the results of plastic surgery or helping to understand medical conditions such as autism and depression.  The technique was developed using a Convolutional Neural ...
