The history of the internet and World Wide Web

Many experts predicted the development of global information networks long before the technology to actually create the internet existed. Many pioneering scientists, programmers, and engineers worked on the internet, each developing new features and technologies that eventually fused to build the modern-day "information superhighway." The Internet communication protocols and the system known as the Internet were invented by computer scientists Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn. Many massive networks join to form the Internet backbone. ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, was established in the late 1960s as the first working Internet prototype. ARPANET, which was originally financed by the United States Department of Defense, utilized packet switching to allow numerous computers to interact on a single network. On January 1, 1983, ARPANET adopted TCP/IP, and researchers began to build the current Internet's "network of networks" from there. You may now access libraries, encyclopedias, news archives, and other knowledge sources from anywhere in the world via the Internet.

    When computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web in 1990, the online world took on a more recognized shape. In 1990, while working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, he created the first web browser. HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) was his design, and it standardized communication between servers and clients. While it's sometimes mistaken with the internet, the web is just the most prevalent way of accessing material online via web pages and hyperlinks. The internet was popularized thanks to the web, and it was a critical step in the development of the huge wealth of information that most of us now have access to on a regular basis. The Web was developed to satisfy the demand for automated information exchange between scientists at universities and research organizations all around the world.The world wide web connected the world in ways that had never been conceivable before, making it much simpler for individuals to get, share, and transmit information. People may now share their work and ideas by using social networking sites, blogs, and video sharing. People became able to share information much more easily thanks to the world wide web.

At first glance, the phrases "internet" and "World Wide Web" may appear to be synonymous. They serve the same purpose in everyday conversation, but the World Wide Web isn't just another term for the internet we all know today. The sites you see while you're online on a device are known as the world wide web, or web for short. The internet, on the other hand, is the network of connected computers that the web runs on, as well as the conduit through which emails and data flow. The distinction between the Internet and the World Wide Web may not be important most of the time, but when we talk about search, we actually mean web search, which means links. People use search engines to ask questions and receive answers in the form of links to other websites. The actual significance of the internet may be in the way it made internet-connected gadgets accessible to the general public, welcoming in the present digital era. The web and the internet are distinct concepts, yet the web's accessibility transformed the world's population into internet users.

The world's first website was launched on August 6, 1991. While probably not as interesting or engaging as some of the world's roughly 1.9 billion websites, Tim Berners-Lee created the first-ever website at the CERN laboratory in the Swiss Alps. It was, unsurprisingly, a rather simple one. In fact, Berners-Lee and his colleagues at CERN were the only ones who possessed web browser software, so the rest of the world was virtually completely unaware of the historic event that had just occurred. http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html was the first web page address. It explained how to make Web pages and provided further information about hypertext. However, it wasn't until 1993, when the Mosaic browser was introduced, that the technology gained significant popularity. To commemorate World Wide Web's 20th anniversary, the organization made the Web's core technology available to everyone for free twenty years ago. The very first website is now back live at its original URL as a way to celebrate the event.

       Photoshop, for me, is a tool for creating a compelling visual world.  It is also a means for me to explore the spectrum of possibilities made available by my material selection. I also use it as an opportunity to experiment with the various possibilities opened up by slight adjustments in color, composition, and technique of application. Overthinking was the theme of my project, and it's something I do a lot. Everyone, at times, overthinks things. Overthinking has been related to anxiety and depression, but when you're in the thick of it, however, it's difficult to tell what state you are in. The reason I used the clouded head and space background is because the more I ponder an issue, the worse I feel. And, because emotions may cloud my judgment, it becomes more difficult to take a proactive approach which leaves me feeling lost or uncertain. Everyday, my boyfriend would ask me “ what do you want to eat?” and everyday, i would tell him “ i don't know, it...

  Artist statement:  Completing this project was a fun experience. I wasn't sure how I was going to finish this project at first, but after playing around in Adobe Illustrator, I discovered that the "envelope distort" to "make with top object" would be the ideal tool for the job. If you want to utilize an item as the envelope's shape, make sure it's at the top of the stacking order for the object you want to use. My first idea was to base my writing around a dolphin. The dolphin was my source of inspiration. The dolphin symbol sends a profound message by representing eternal life. Because of their intellect and conversational personalities, dolphins are one of my favorite species. Dolphins are well-known for their elegance and beauty. Dolphins communicate using a language that contains sounds with various functions, just like people, as well as examples of enjoyment, fun, teaching, and social cohabitation behaviors. So I wanted my letter to speak through...

  I wanted my tag brush to be a representation of my interests. The water and the lovely palm trees were two of the reasons I moved to Florida. Moving to Florida was one of the best moves I've made lately, and I wanted my tag brush to reflect that. My tag brush involves pouring color and using conventional brush strokes to create a picture. I wanted my tag to be straightforward and easy to remember.       Humans rely significantly on being able to comprehend and interpret information. So color choice has been shown to impact human behavior. I used the color blue because it is favored by so many people. Another reason is because it is mainly viewed as a traditional, non threatening hue, that leaves the mind feeling calm or serene. It leaves a feeling of trust and confidence that can reduce stress.
