The World Wide Web By: Ashley Epperson

What is the World Wide Web? The World Wide Web is all the sites, videos, information, and entertainment that we put on there that is connected to each other by the URL(Uniform Resource Locator). Ex: http://www.thisisanexample.com . The http://www . and .com are the things to most always have on a web address. The World Wide Web is built on hypertext and hypermedia. Hypertext is certain words that are linked to another page. Those are the one that are underlined and highlighted. Hypermedia is things such as images, videos, and sounds. HTML(Hypertext Markup Language) transmits web pages by using codes, hyperlinks, and ect. HTML basically uses codes and web addresses to bring up the correct web pages that you click on.

World Wide Web vs. Internet Is the World Wide Web and the Internet the same thing? No. People sometimes use the World Wide Web and the Internet as synonyms but they are two different things. Think of it like this: The Internet is the container and the World Wide Web is its contents. Basically, the Internet is all the computers of the world connected and the World Wide Web is all of the videos, sites, information, entertainment, ect. that we put on there.

Other Facts August 6, 1991 is the date that the web was a publicly available service on the internet. Tim Berners-Lee is now the director of the World Wide Web Consortium. The World Wide Web consortium is a international gathering where a people meet to try to make the Web better. They want the web to reach its full potential. 2009- There are now over 100 billion live web pages. The World Wide Web began as a net worked info project at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee.

Quotes by Tim Berners-Lee “ Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.” – Tim Berners-Lee “ Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.” - Tim Berners-Lee “ Physicists analyze systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems.”- Tim Berners-Lee “ Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.”- Tim Berners-Lee “ The important thing is the diversity available on the Web.”-Tim Berners-Lee “ You affect the world by what you browse.”- Tim Berners-Lee “ The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.”- Tim Berners-Lee
