Internet/World Wide Web

September 05, 2021

The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over the world. Through the Internet, people can share information and communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection. Computer scientists Vinton Cerf and January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Before this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other. A new communications protocol was established called Transfer Control Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP). The Internet was first invented for military purposes and then expanded to the purpose of communication among scientists. The invention also came about in part by the increasing need for computers in the 1960s. The internet got its start in the United States more than 50 years ago as a government weapon in the Cold War. For years, scientists and researchers used it to communicate and share data with one another. It is mostly used today for social media, informational purposes, and many other things. The world wide web is an information system on the internet that allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another. Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. The world wide web, or web for short, is the pages you see when you're at a device and you're online. But the internet is the network of connected computers that the web works on, as well as what emails and files travel across. on August 6, 1991, Berners-Lee published the first-ever website, the site was about the World Wide Web project, describing the Web and how to use it. http://info.cern.ch.
