The World Wide Web H ow did it all begin?

Brief History 1 The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the 1950s. The Cold War was at its height and huge tensions existed between North America and the Soviet Union. Both superpowers were in possession of deadly nuclear weapons, and people lived in fear of long-range surprise attacks. The US realised it needed a communications system that could not be affected by a Soviet nuclear attack.

At this time, computers were large, expensive machines exclusively used by military scientists and university staff. The Internet Before The World Wide Web

How it Began 2 THE WORLD WIDE WEB A more modern example of technology feeding upon itself is the 20 th -century tour de force: the World Wide Web through the internet. Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented it as a way of addressing data processing and information sharing needs among scientists for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Who Is Tim Berners-Lee? Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, in 1989. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.

HTML? HTTP? 3 What’s the Difference ? HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol for transferring the hypertext pages from Web Server to Web Browser. HTTP HTML HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a language for marking the normal text so that it gets converted into hypertext. Again, not so clear. Basically, HTML tags (e.g. “<head>”, “<body>” etc.) are used to tag or mark normal text so that it becomes hypertext and several hypertext pages can be interlinked with each other resulting in the Web. Please note that the HTML tags are used to help render web pages as well in the Browser.

PROS AND CONS 6 -With the ease of sharing information at present, its reliability becomes compromised. Anyone with a connection to other people can produce contents which are showing half truths or even lies, giving rise to disinformation -Social media also encourages building a community of like-minded people. The creation of these groups often reinforces biases and beliefs based only on the content that they allow within the community, forgoing the variation and clash of ideas provided in real life. -Meanwhile, the easy access to personal information makes one susceptible to online predation, identity theft, and scamming, among others. Thus, it pays to be vigilant in utilizing these modern devices at all times.

BE RESPONSIBLE 7 Considering the many benefits we get from these technologies, we must also De responsible in utilizing them to avoid harming others and ourselves.
