What Is Web Enabled?

Think of the World Wide Web as a huge shopping mall, with individual websites serving as the various stores. Imagine having a state-of-the-art smartphone connecting to the Internet just as quickly as walking into a shopping center. Unlike window shopping online, however, you can buy the items you see in physical stores. That's where the term "web-enabled" comes in. This indicates that your phone or other device is internet-enabled and thus capable of accessing the many exciting online features. Your web-enabled device lets you check your email, browse Instagram, and shop for new shoes. Imagine, though, if I told you that the mall analogy could be developed further. Enter the Internet of Things, or #IoT for short. This means that commonplace items can now be linked to the web and exchange data with one another. Your fridge can directly communicate with your oven to begin preheating while you are still at work and vice versa! Let's chat about #WebServices while we're on the subject of communication. This is a fancy term for the interoperability of various devices and websites. What about the fridge and oven I just used as an example? The two gadgets can accomplish this thanks to their use of a web service for communication. Let's dive into the inner workings of the Internet and see how the magic is made. If you want to visit Google.com, you are instructing your web-enabled device to request a #WebServer. You can think of this server as the mall directory; it knows all the stores (websites) and can direct your device to the one that best suits its needs. However, #WebSecurity is here to reassure you that all your online banking, shopping, and chatting is safe. Security measures are those put in place to safeguard your computer and the data you enter online. Safe and confident internet use relies on many factors, including the use of web security measures like data encryption and the use of secure connections by websites. As a result, you now know! Using a shopping mall as an example of the Internet of things, web services, web servers, and web security. The next time you use your smartphone to check the stock in your fridge or order a new pair of shoes online, you can do so with a deeper understanding of the jargon used. #WebEnabled #InternetShopping #WebCommunication #WebSecurity
