Lab 1-2


1.)	IP addresses and phone numbers are similar in that they both serve as
	directories for connecting to something.  IP addresses are numbers that
	allow us to connect to an internet site.  Similarly, phone numbers are
	numbers that allow us to connect to another telephone.  The same concept
	is used, just different mediums.  Also, both have identifiers that aid in
	their convenience.  IP addresses use hostnames to help us remember where
	it connects.  Phone numbers utilize the name of the person you are
	contacting to help the user remember who it is they are connecting to.


2.)	HTTP is the standard way of transferring web files through the internet.
	FTP is the standard way of sending files between computers through a network.
	The number one difference between the two is that FTP requires the user to
	identify theirselves via a "user name" and a password.  This enables FTP to
	be much more secure than HTTP, which does not require either for the user
	to navigate through the HTTP method.  Therefore, FTP is significantly more
	secure than HTTP, due to the increased security in the user name and password
	of its users.  This also leads to a comparison of their convenience.  Since HTTP
	does not require you to put in a user name and password each time you go to
	a link, HTTP is much more convenient.  While being less convenient, FTP is
	more secure, thats the trade-off.


3.)	Folders, or directories, do not directly contain data.  They are just a storing
	place for files, which directly contain the data.  You cannot read a folder, but
	you can open it, and open a file within it, and read the data on that file.
	Therefore, a folder does not directly contain data, rather serves as a filing
	cabinet for files that contain data.


4.)	Pathnames and URLs both are methods, or mediums, of linking someone to information
	on a computer.  A URL links the user to a webpage on the internet.  A pathname
	can link someone to a place on a computer, such as a file or directory, as well
	as on the internet.

5.)	Pathnames utilizes a negative slope slanted line and is also more explicit in 
	the direction it wants the computer to look in.  It is very specific as to
	location, and is therefore much more lengthy.  A URL, on the other hand, uses
	a positive slope slanted line to specify location.  URLs also use a system in
	which they specify in a different order, and can therefore be identified in
	this manner.  Probably the most obvious to see right off is the different types
	of slanted lines used.
