everything we do in this world needs it tools so does when you're searching the web.

• Computer with a web browser application installed
• Modem and/or NIC (network interface card)
• ISP (internet service provider)

let me explain one by one. ;)

What is web browser?

What is a modem?

• A modem converts between these two forms.

What is a NIC?

last but not least,

What is an ISP (internet service provider)?

•    Company that offers its customer’s access to the Internet.

•   The ISP connects to its customers using a data                     transmission technology appropriate for delivering    Internet Protocol datagrams, such as dial-up, DSL, cable modem, wireless or dedicated high-speed interconnects.

•     ISPs may provide Internet e-mail accounts to users which allow them to communicate with one another by sending and receiving electronic messages through their ISP's servers.

 Examples: UniFi, p1 Wimax, Celcom, Maxis, DiGi.
