Three differences between Internet And Intranet?

[lana]

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a  transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or other packet-switched networks.
but i don't think we have to know this !!

1.intranet is used in an single organisation while the internet are used in world wide web.In intranet if me and you want to access the information of any company or university and you can take any example of big organisation so it is not possible to access any information about the company by us.If we want to access the information about any organisation so we first of all athenticate to that company for access the data then you can access the data from an particular organisation.
2.intranet can access the internet but the internet cannot be access the intranet.
3.Intranet provide security to much higher than internet because internet are access by any person from anywhere any anytime but the Intranet can access by only the person of that organisation.

actually i got a better comparison between internet and intranet

first u got to say what does internet (international network) and intranet (internal restricted access network) stands for

then say what each uses internet uses WAN (wide area network) while intranet uses LAN (local area network)

internet has unlimited amount of information
intranet has limited amount of information

internet users are more vulnerable to viruses and
intranet is better protected from viruses and scams

internet has unlimited access and can be accessed by anyone
intranet has limited access and usually requires a password and username to access it

if searching for information internet can waste time looking through millions of resources and may visit undesirable websites and can be biased or misleading
intranet information is more reliable

Hey you guys, I have a question

For the ICT practical exam

A while back after I did it, my cousin tried to forward to me his exam (after we BOTH already did it), to see if our answers were right, and it didn't work

But it was already 24 hours after the exam
Would something happen to him???

Can't ANYONE help me with this??

[PeaceMaker]

Can't ANYONE help me with this??

Maybe because ICT practicals were not on the same day but separated days depending on the school and were you live. To stay on the safe side don't do it, but i see that its already too late. But then again, im not really sure but im giving my honest view on the matter at hand.

[7ooD]

loool dnt worry cie knows that there practical exams are given out each year the papers are stolen and given out to students in most countries and noone can deny that so dnt worry
