Introduction of Network Programming, Internet of Things (IoT) and the Telegraph
In
the last century, the world has experienced many changes and most of these
changes have been happening due to the advancement in technology. There are
different types of technologies and each technology has its own importance.
There are three technologies which have been very important over the period of
time as these technologies have played a vital role in communication. The first
technology is network programming which is related to computers. It is
important to understand what a network program can do. There can be various
hardware and software systems and devices but all of them can’t be a handful
until they are connected with each other to work together. For instance, if
there are ten computers in an office and a company, they would connect them
with a server so that they can manage all of these computers and make them work
in a combination. It can’t be done without the help of network programming. It
means simple programs can be great and efficient when they are connected with
the help of network programming (Harold, 2004).
The other technological concept,
which has changed so many things all around the world, is the Internet of
Things (IoT). When IoT is used, it means it is being referred to as physical
devices in billions connected with each other through the internet. These
devices are connected with the help of the internet and a significant amount of
data is being collected, transmitted, and shared through these devices. The
network programs, as well as a variety of processors, have enabled organizations
to connect so many devices like one mobile or even an airplane; all of them are
connected through the internet (Ranger, 2018). Another important
technology which shaped the communication patterns even before the discovery of
the internet is Telegraph. It is actually a communication system and
information can be transmitted through a telegraph with the help of wire, and
this wire uses electrical current pulses in a series which allows a message to
travel from one place to the other place. The Morse code is the term used for
this transmission of data (Rouse, 2019). In this paper, all of
these technologies and technological concepts will be analyzed in detail and their
importance will be evaluated in the modern world based on technology.
Analysis of Network Programming

Internet of Things (IoT) and the Telegraph
It is important to understand different elements of
network programming so that it can be defined how networking programming works,
what are its essential elements, and what kind of benefits can be taken with
the help of network programming. The real purpose of network programming is to
write programs that have the capability of communicating and connecting with
other programs in a given computer network. So, when these programs are working
together, a computer network is formed which allows a variety of tasks to be performed.
A major thing or concept associated with network programming is a server. It is
a central point which can be used to monitor as well as handle all computers within
a network program. However, it is important to understand that network
programming is not a simple task. It is a very difficult and complex task with a
large number of elements. There are various software, which makes this process
simple so that networking can be done conveniently, and one of such programs is
Java. There are two components in a network program, one would be the client
and other would be servers. These are the only two things enabled and utilized
in a computer network (carleton.ca). “The
computing scientist’s main challenge is not to get confused by the complexities
of his own making”. (E. W. Dijkstra) (Quotes.
cat-v. org).
A network program can face
several issues and each issue can be a big problem to handle the computer
network. Experts give their best to make sure a network doesn’t come up with
any issues but it is quite interesting that despite all the efforts, the
network always comes up with some issues every now and then. One of such issues
is a duplicated IP address. When there is a single IP address and two devices
are trying to connect with that IP address, then one device will face an error because
an IP address is already in use. It means that one device cannot access the
computer network. DNS problem is another common issue associated with the
networks. There could be various errors like “DNS Name does not exist” or “IP
Address Could Not Be Found.” These errors can be handled with proper
configuration of the network DNS servers. Another primary issue faced by
devices is that a computer may not be able to connect to its network. The first
thing is to check cables and other types of equipment of that particular
computer to see that all these things are working fine. If an issue is not
associated with them, then there must be an issue with the whole network. It is
possible for the network to experience slow performance of the internet because
they are poorly connected or there might be another issue (Team Nuggets, 2018)
“Perfection is achieved, not when there is
nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away” (Antoine
de Saint Exupéry) (Quotes. cat-v. org). Network
programming helps computer networks to connect and perform various tasks and
activities. There are several benefits and drawbacks of network programming. A
major advantage of computer networks is that the level of communication is
enhanced by it. Users can connect their computers over the network and
communicate with each other. It makes things easier to transfer as well as share
data and information with each other. Business organizations can get numerous benefits
from network programs such as they are able to communicate their resources and
when these resources are connected, they can collaborate with each other
resulting in better collaboration and performance. Another advantage of network
programs is that they can be cost-efficient and their use can enhance the level
of business and other activities. For instance, if a customer is having a
problem with any location of the company, the targeted location can be accessed
and the issue can be resolved in time. The storage capacity is also increased
with the help of networks. However, it is important to understand that network
programming can be a difficult process to accomplish (EDUCBA, 2019).
