Connections
Each piece of hardware has a different way of connecting to the internet and power supply.
Currently, the most well-known way of connecting to a power supply is the simple method of plugging in a system into a wall socket, which, with the flick of a switch, allows power to reach the system, thus, obviously, allowing it to run.
Another popular method of power, mostly for handheld systems like a portable radio or IPod, is battery powered devices. These can work in two ways: Either the system will require regular batteries (AA, AAA, etc) that will need changing when they run out, or a battery is already built into the system, and will need charging from another source of power regularly.
Recently, a new form of power was shown off where power could be delivered to devices without the need for wires, which exploits simple physics and can charge a range of electronic devices over many metres. A link to the full story can be seen here.
For connecting to the internet, the mostly used method of connecting to the internet is broadband, which sends a wireless signal allowing computers to connect to the internet without needing to connect to a phone line.
