Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion system available on computers.

It was developed from the general-purpose UUCP dial-up network architecture.

Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis conceived the idea in 1979, and it was established in 1980.

Users read and post messages (called articles or posts, and collectively termed news) to one or more categories, known as newsgroups.

Usenet resembles a bulletin board system (BBS) in many respects and is the precursor to Internet forums that are widely used today.

Discussions are threaded, as with web forums and BBSs, though posts are stored on the server sequentially.

The name comes from the term "users network".

A Usenet newsgroup is a usually within the Usenet system, for messages posted from many users in different locations using Internet.

Despite the name, newsgroups are discussion groups, and are not devoted to publishing news, but were when the internet was young.

Newsgroups are technically distinct from, but functionally similar to, discussion forums on the World Wide Web.

Newsreader software is used to read newsgroups.

In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients".

This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices.

Servers can provide various functionalities, often called "services", such as sharing data or resources among multiple clients, or performing computation for a client.

A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers.

A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device.

Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Internet security is a branch of computer security specifically related to the Internet, often involving browser security but also network security on a more general level as it applies to other applications or operating systems on a whole.

Different methods have been used to protect the transfer of data, including encryption and from-the-ground-up engineering.
