Where is all the information on the internet stored?  On my computer?

Yes it's half true, but it isn't your computer, mine and Joe Bloggs, it's very large servers and data centre arrays that are 'logged on' that the Internet content is stored on. If they were switched off then yes, your friend is correct, the Internet would cease to exist. \n....................Added to above (Robin and Ma...)if all the Computers in the world were turned off the info would not "cease to exit" it would not be accessable until they were switched back on.

According to the site "waybackmachine.org" an archive of internet pages, it holds 40 billion web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago.\n\nThe surface web, or the publicly available documents is estimated in 2.5 million documents. The deep web, is 400 to 500 times bigger.\n\nSo the internet (just the web, not counting email, ftp, usenet, etc) is estimated at 550 billion connected web documents.

sure. as u have not mentioned what browser you are using, i am supposing it to be Internet Explorer, which is one of the most widely used browser.\n\nmost probably, you would have it in the browser's history list, you can click on :\n\nView >> Explorer Bar >> History or use the keyboard short cut key (Ctrl + H). \n\nAnd then you can browse the list to see the site by date, or click on Search to search for a related term to locate the site.\n\nIt would be imposible to find the site , if your history settings dont store site information more than a number of days. You can check the settings for your history by going to :\n\nTools > Options \n\nand then select how many days u want to keep the history.\n\nI hope this will help you\n\nregards\nchris

If you view / listen to / etc. a file on the internet it is in your folder:\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;*YOUR NAME*&#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files\n\nNo need to download it - you already have it.

Yes, you can also delete everything in (YOUR_USERNAME is the username you use to log in to your PC):\nC:&#92;WINDOWS&#92;Temp\nC:&#92;Temp\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92; YOUR_USERNAME &#92;Local Settings&#92;Temp\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92; YOUR_USERNAME &#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files

The internet is a great place, and to answer your question I belive it is your best interest to understand what the internet really "is"\n\nThe internet is simply a grouping of computers all over the world that are networked together. For you to understand this, I will give you the following example,\n\nInside the address bar on internet explorer, if you were to type the following...\nc:&#92;\nyou would be accessing and displaying your "c" hardrive. This drive is where (more then likely) all of the files are being stored. so if you wanted to open up notepad, you could type somthing like this....\nc:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;calc.exe\nyou would be accessing windows calculator and opening it.\n\nWhen you open up yahoo.com, you are really opening up yahoo's computer and accessing the spesified file. \n\nYahoo.com is really a shortcut to 66.218.71.63  (yahoo's servers ip address). this is called a dns. a dns helps humans remember websites, because yahoo.com is much better then remembering 66.218.71.63....\n\n\nNow with this information you it really depends on what you want to do, and what this website is for...\n\nIf it is for a personal website, and you dont want to spend any money, then my recomendation would be to sign up for a free web hosting service. I have had great luck with angelfire.com\n\nthis method is great for little websites,... you will end up with a website that's address will probobly end up like...\nangelfire.com/ma2/myphotos\n\nwhich is long, unperfeshonal, and very hard to remember.\nWhat I would do at this point is set up a dot.tk account (http://www.dot.tk )\n\n.tk is a hosing service that will route your long address to a much shorter address that you can pick out... it will look somthing like this...\nwww.myphotos.tk\n\n\nand then you will be set,... then simply upload your "website" files to your angelfire account (webshell)\n\n\n\nOR\n\nif you need this for bussiness or you dont mind paying for your service, then I recomend the following...\n\nuse a web hosting service like yahoo.com or godaddy.com\n\nThen after you reserve your dns name (for a year will cost ya about 15$) you will need to pay permonth for file hosting (about 10$ a month)\n\n\nor you can host the website from your home (which depends very much on your internet up/down speeds and you will need to ask a technical friend for setting up your server)\n\n\n\nhope this helps

I agree with the first answer, however anyone who knows a little bit about computers will still find out.  Do this: click on said button, but then check C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;"WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS"&#92;Local Settings and then any folder in there.  Cookies and pics can still point to where you've been.  A history of your surfing is kept in three other places besides Internet Exploder's history.  There are programs out there that are designed to completely wipe all of your history.  I have no need for these programs, therefore I don't know where you can find them or what they are called.

you could cover all your tracks, if you so wish, with a simple little program i use called CCleaner\n\nYou can download it at ccleaner.com, it's free, and it works really well to get rid of ALL your internet viewing history\n\nFrom the CCleaner Site:\n   "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)"

Clicking on your history button is one way of checking but if you are really computor savy,( or not ) go into tools, internet options,settings,view files or view folders. But be careful what you open.

Depending on your provider, you might have a control panel that will give you this information.  Almost all web servers have logs, so you could get the information out of the log.  Perhaps an easier way would be to get a web counter for your site, which will give you lots of useful information.

No internet site can steal information from your computer unless you give it to them voluntarily or unless you have spyware on your computer.\n\nGoogle keeps track of your IP address (internet address) and what you searched for.

It is usually under Document and Settings ---> Your windows login ID ---> Application Data ---> Mozilla ----> Profiles ----> weird file name with numbers\n\nGo to your explorer and you can find it easily.
