Did You Know???
Computer Animation is the simulation of movement produced by displaying a series of successive images on the screen. In computer graphics, animation can be accomplished in several ways, depending on the tools provided by the programmer's choice of programming language and on the working environment.
One approach to animation involves drawing an image and then erasing it and redrawing it in a slightly different place on the screen. Another approach makes use of the creation of entire screen frames (pages), which are drawn in memory and displayed in sequence on the screen. Yet another uses built-in screen-management tools that enable the programmer to specify an object, a starting point, and a destination, leaving the process of movement to the underlying software. Animation can be generated either in real time, in which each frame is created as the viewer watches, or in simulated time. In the latter, the computer generates still frames, which are then printed and photographed or are sent to a film or video animation camera. In this way, a computer can spend seconds, minutes, or hours generating each frame, but on replay the tape or film displays each frame in a fraction of a second.

For Your Information!
Internet is a collection of computer networks that operate to common standards and enable the computers and the programs they run to communicate directly. There are many small-scale, controlled-access “enterprise internets”, but the term is usually applied to the global, publicly accessible network, called simply the Internet or Net. By the end of 2002, more than 100,000 networks and around 120 million users were connected via the Internet.
Internet connection is usually accomplished using international standards collectively called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which are issued by an organization called the Internet Engineering Task Force, combined with a network registration process, and with the aid of public providers of Internet access services, known as Internet Service Providers or ISPs.
Each connected computer—called an Internet host—is provided with a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address—198.105.232.1, for example. For obvious reasons, the IP address has become known as the “dot address” of a computer. Although very simple and effective for network operation, dot addresses are not very user-friendly.
