The World Wide Web
Past, Present & Future
In the beginning, websites were very simple and hardly ever

They were mainly for giving information
Here are some examples:

Now websites are all about talking and sharing
Instead of websites just giving us information, we can add
our own
We can add comments; pictures; videos; like things; follow
people and link to other websites
The World Wide Web is a place to make friends, share
information and work together
The Present

Web Browsers will “learn” from how we use The Web
This will make the world wide web more personal
The “Internet of Things” IoT:
• Lots of “dumb” devices and appliances connected together
• Your fridge could scan barcodes from the food that goes in it
and update your online shopping cart when its been taken
out
• Your car could sense when you were near home and send a
signal to your bath to put in the plug and start running the
hot water…
The Future…
