...The World Wide Web (WWW) is a massive set of interlinked documents, images and other resources (standards and protocols). In 1991, CERN publicly launched the new World Wide Web by English Scientist, Tim Berners Lee in 1989. The pages were interlinked to other such pages using hyperlinks and the URLs creating a great bid web of information. This is why Tim Berners Lee decided to name it as the World Wide Web. Web Addressing System: An Addressing System for the Internet was designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). In this scheme, unique names and numbers are assigned to identify the computers on the Internet. Every website has a name called domain name. Each computer on Internet is also known as host. It is identified on the Internet by its unique IP address. There are two methods of IP addressing: Letter Addressing System Number Addressing System Letter Addressing System: It is an addressing system where unique identification names are given to websites. Each website is assigned to unique name. The user just puts in the name of the website and the corresponding website opens up in the browser. Few examples are given below: google.co.in cbse.nic.in Here the last letters are important as they provide information about the kind of organization to which the address belongs. Some of the important abbreviations are: edu: Educational Institution gov: Government Organizations org: Nonprofit Organization The letter addressing system also uses country...

...Positives and Negatives of the World Wide Web The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another. There are many examples of why the world wide web is a positive for us, for example Availability of mainly free information, Low cost of initial connection, Reduces the costs of divulgation, The same protocol of communication can be used for all the services, Facilitates rapid interactive communication, Facilitates the exchange of huge volumes of data, Facilitates the establishment of professional contact, No barriers to divulgation. But with advantages there come disadvantages such as Danger of overload and excess information, it requires an efficient information search strategy, The search can be slow, It is difficult to filter and prioritize information, No guarantee of finding what one is looking for, There is a lot of apparently unconnected information, Net becomes overloaded because of large number of users, No quality control over available data, The ease with which information can be constantly up-dated. There are an amazing amount of benefits that come along with the World Wide Web. Not only are you able to access information from, you can also makes friends from across the globe. You can access any data at any location as long as it's on a server using the World Wide Web. That benefit highly benefits...

...What is the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? First off all, the internet is a global infrastructure that connects networks to other networks; it is essentially a network of networks. The reasoning for connecting network to network is to allow computers to communicate with each other for the sharing of information and data across the world. Secondly, the World Wide Web (or ‘WWW’) is a tool used on top of the internet structure to allow information to be access or shared from multiple points across the internet. The way the internet communicates data is via a protocol known as HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) which is used by the World Wide Web to turn the data transmitted into readable media and text for the user. So, what’s the difference? The internet is the network that connects other networks together so that information and data can be communicated to computers on a global scale. The way that the information is accessed by a user is through the tool known as the World Wide Web which is used on top of the internet. HTTP is a feature used by the World Wide Web to make sense of the communicated data. The basic language most content is written in is HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) which is decoded by the HTTP protocol into media and text for the user to access. Networks on the internet can be hosted locally in a Local Area Network (LAN) or across a large geographical area in a Wide Area Network (WAN). LAN networks are typically used in businesses...

...Tim Berners Lee In 1989, while working at at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, Tim Berners-lee proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment. This work was started in October 1990, and the program "WorldWideWeb" first made available within CERN in December, and on the Internet at large in the summer of 1991. Through 1991 and 1993, Tim continued working on the design of the Web, coordinating feedback from users across the Internet. His initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined and discussed in larger circles as the Web technology spread. Tim Berners-Lee graduated from the Queen's College at Oxford University, England, 1976. Whilst there he built his first computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. He spent two years with Plessey Telecommunications Ltd (Poole, Dorset, UK) a major UK Telecom equipment manufacturer, working on distributed transaction systems, message relays, and bar code technology. In 1978 Tim left Plessey to join D.G Nash Ltd (Ferndown, Dorset, UK), where he wrote among other things typesetting software for intelligent...

Throughout 1991 and 1993 Berners-Lee continued to work on the concept and designed the Web during which time he took the feedback of what he was doing and continued to perfect it in a sense using specifications of things such as URLS, HTTP and the HTML coding and just like that the World Wide Web was born. World Wide Web It took a while to get the process rolling by 1991 it brought the availability or the browser and the web surfer software which was barely existent before then. It was mainly a screen in which you just imputed information, there was not variety it was pretty much a blank screen and one size font to put in the information one needed at the time. By 1992 there were a few sites that existed such as the CERN website, ACME Laboratories and even colleges had websites like the University of Illinois and Ohio State University. By the end of 1992 there were just about 26 websites total. Once 1993 hit the World Wide Web was beginning to become a bit more talked about and that is when the directors of CERN made a big impact.

...companies……………………………………… 5 Unsuccessful Dot.com companies…………………………………… 6 Conclusion……………………………………………………………. 6 Work Cited…………………………………………………………… 7 British engineer Tim Berners-Lee developed the world-wide-web in 1989; the World Wide Web became available publically on August 6, 1991. The world-wide-web is a system of resources that allows people to view and interact with a variety of information. A computer that is connected to the Internet can access the world-wide-web. Many people believe the Internet and the World-Wide-Web are one in the same when in-fact they are not. The Internet is a massive network of networks; it connects personal computers, mainframes, cell phones, GPS units, music players etc. The Internet started in the 1960’s and it’s a massive hardware combination of millions of personal, business and government computers all connected like roads and highways. The world-wide-web (WWW) is a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted in a markup language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) which supports and links documents, graphics, video and audio files. Web browsers make it possible to access the WWW examples of web browsers would be Safari, Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. As you can see the Internet and the WWW are not the same thing. In the early 1990’s people basically used computers for writing papers, playing games, business productivity tracking...

...At one time, bison were widespread from Alaska to northern Mexico. Now bison have been exterminated in the wild except in Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and Wood Buffalo Park, Northwest territory, Canada. The bison are gone in the prairie of the United States along with many of the ecosystem's species. Deep scars mar the landscape where the soil has been swept way by water runoff. The life of the rancher and farmer is vanishing. The body of the bison is huge. They are also tall animals and have two distinctive features, one being the shoulder hump and the other being their huge head. They are brown, their color varying slightly from the front and back of the animal. Their horns are black and curve upward and inward ending in a sharp tip. Their legs are short but firm. Bison are year round grazers. They feed primarily on grasses, but when food is scarce, the will eat other vegetation such as sagebrush. They require water every day. Females are sexually mature in two to three years . The breeding season begins in late June and lasts through September. Gestation is around 285 days, so the calving season in from mid-April through May. Bison are arranged in groups according to sex, age, season and habitat.
