The emergence of the Internet is perhaps one of the most significant technological advances in recent times. Never before have so many individuals had access to such a wide array of information sources. Despite the Internet’s many benefits, people are now becoming conscious of its limitations and are seeking innovative solutions. Among the existing issues, which include a general lack of dependability and various security threats, the most critical concern is speed.
To begin with, the Internet has expanded at a remarkable pace. In 1990, only a handful of academics were familiar with the Internet. By 1996, more than 50 million users had adopted it. Each year, the number of individuals with Internet access doubles. This rapid expansion has created challenges. The computer systems supporting the Internet have struggled to meet the demand. Additionally, at times, a request for information must traverse multiple routing computers before the information can be retrieved. A request initiated in Paris may need to go through computers located in New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo to acquire the desired information. As a result, service is often slow and erratic. Service tends to worsen during peak Internet traffic times—specifically, the business hours in the Western Hemisphere—when companies require it the most.
Some individuals are attempting to leverage the capabilities of interconnected computers to address this issue. In 1995, a consortium of American universities united to create what is now known as Internet II. Internet II is a smaller, more specialized network with limited user access. Consequently, the time taken to receive information has been reduced.
Companies are starting to investigate a potential counterpart to Internet II. Many organizations are establishing their own 'Intranets'. These systems are accessible exclusively to the employees of the same company. Theoretically, fewer users should lead to a swifter system. Intranets are particularly beneficial for large national and international corporations that require information sharing among their branches. Another advantage of an Intranet is enhanced security. Since only company personnel can access the information on the Intranet, their data is safeguarded from competitors. Although there is little doubt that the Internet will ultimately become a fast, reliable service, both the industry and academia have taken initiatives to create more practical global networks.
36. According to the writer, what is one reason the Internet can be slow?
A. Telephone lines are frequently too congested with calls and fax transmissions to accommodate Internet traffic.
B. Frequently, a request has to pass through several computers before it arrives at its intended destination.
C. The majority of people lack computers that are sufficiently fast to fully utilize the Internet.
D. Scientists consume so much bandwidth on the Internet, thereby slowing it down for all other users.
37. The term “obtain” is most similar in meaning to “_______”.
A. comprehend B. obtain C. disseminate D. acquire
38. The term “harness” is most closely related in meaning to “_______”.
A. employ B. conceal C. take D. obstruct
39. Which of the following conclusions is the author likely to concur with?
A. A smaller number of academic institutions need to establish their own internet systems.
B. The technology employed by internet developers is too complicated for computer users to grasp.
C. An Internet system with a smaller user base would be faster.
D. Companies that create their own intranets are restricting their information database.
40. All the following are benefits of business 'Intranets' mentioned in the text EXCEPT _______.
A. they offer an increased level of security
B. they exchange information with other companies
C. Intranets are extremely beneficial for large national and international corporations whose branches require information sharing
D. they transfer data more quickly
