Question

1. Read the passage given below :

In a very short period of time the internet has had a profound impact on the way we

live. Since the Internet was made operational in 1983, it has lowered both the costs

of communication and the barriers to creative expression. It has challenged old

business models and enabled new ones. It has provided access to information on a

scale never before achievable.

It succeeded because we designed it to be flexible and open. These two features

have allowed it to accommodate innovation without massive changes to its

infrastructure. An open, borderless and standardized platform means that barriers

to entry are low, competition is high, interoperability is assured and innovation is

rapid.

The beauty of an open platform is that there are no gatekeepers. For centuries,

access to and creation of information was controlled by the few. The internet has

changed that --and is rapidly becoming the platform for everyone, by everyone.

Of course, it still has a way to go. Today there are only about 2.3 billion internet

users, representing roughly 30% of the world's population. Much of the

information that they can access online is in English, but this is changing rapidly.

The technological progress of the internet has also set social change in motion. As

with other enabling inventions before it, from the telegraph to television, some will

worry about the effects of broader access to information -- the printing press and

the rise in literacy that it effected were, after all, long seen as destabilising. Similar

concerns about the internet are occasionally raised, but if we take a long view,

I m confident that its benefits far outweigh the discomforts of learning to

integrate it into our lives. The internet and the world wide web are what they are

because literally millions of people have made it so. It is a grand collaboration.

It would be foolish not to acknowledge that the openness of the internet has had a

price. Security is an increasingly important issue and cannot be ignored.

If there is an area of vital research and development for the internet, this is one of

them. I am increasingly confident, however, that techniques and practices exist to

make the internet safer and more secure while retaining its essentially open quality.

After working on the internet and its predecessors for over four decades, I'm more

optimistic about its promise than I have ever been. We are all free to innovate on the

net every day. The internet is a tool of the people, built by the people for the people

and it must stay that way
