Lesson 1
Today, we learnt about The Internet & World Wide Web(WWW). Firstly, I learnt that the internet started because a couple of scientist at different locations needed to share information with each other if part of the network was disabled. At that time, it was called ARPANET.
The main thing about Internet is how fast it managed to to grow. When it first started at 1969, it only had four host nodes. 15 years later, it had more than 1000 host nodes and todat, there are more than 200 million host nodes.
WWW. Basically, the WWW is a worldwide collection of electronic documents, which is also called the web. It contains almost everything! From text informations to videos, from pictures to all kinds of other things you can think of.
To use WWW, you need a web browser. Some web browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer, Safari, Mozilla and Opera! There is also this thing called Web 2.0. The difference between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 is that when you use Web 2.0, the person who owns a website and the people who are viewing it can post comments and other items, unlike Web 1.0!
