ESSAY

	50.	ANS:	
Different types of Internet connections and who uses them include the following:
1. Schools and businesses usually have a direct connection through a local area network (LAN) to a high-speed connection line leased from the telephone company.
2. Home users may connect through a dedicated high-speed digital telephone line, cable modem, or wireless connection. Dial-up is another, less common, option.

Students should list similarities and differences between the way they connect at home and at school and list reasons why they prefer one connection over the other.

Students should list steps they would use to determine the type of Internet connection they have at home such as checking the computer for connection software, examining any existing hardware such as modems or routers, looking at the networking and connection information on the computer, or asking the person who pays the bill.
