Modern Technology in communication no doubt has turned the entire world into a “Global Village”. But as it is, technology like two sides of a coin, bring with it both the negative and positive sides.

The world’s
first commercial space communication company created by the United State
Congress in 1962 was the communication satellite corporation (COMSAT). In 1964,
the United State Government and eleven (11) foreign Nations signed a space
communication pact. The partnership was known as “International
Telecommunication Satellite Organization (INTELSAT). The internet known as the
worlds “Information Super Highway” is a worldwide assemblage of Inter-
Connected Computer Networks (Andrew, 2005).
In the view
of Paul (2010, p.301), internet is a massive “network of networks”, a
networking infrastructure which connects millions of computers together
globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with each
other as long as they are both connected to internet. The network consist of
local area network (LAN), connecting computers in the same building while wide
area network (WANs) connecting several LANs in different locations. It connects
both private, commercial, Government and Academic network including a grown
number of home computer. (Retrieved November 3rd 2012) www.webopedia.com/Did

According to
Andrew (2005, p.284), “Information travels over the internet through a variety
of language known as “Protocols”. The term “internet” is actually a short form
for “internet networks”, which implies that internet is a network of computer
networks. Computer accepts data, process it, stores it and give it out when
required. It became possiblefor people to chat from ‘terminals’ which led to
networking. A line is the part along which resources flow, while a Node
is the point where lines intersect transferring resources to new
lines.(Retrieved November 7th 2012) www.glreach.com/globalstates.
