...The World Wide Web has made an enormous impact on communication in the past few years. Once only accessible to a few, the World Wide Web is now utilized by more than half the populations of developed countries. Originally intended to allow scientists to share information, the World Wide Web is now used by retirees to manage their stock portfolios and by school children to download their homework assignments. All indications suggest that the World Wide Web will continue to grow. Web design is a relatively new profession. Unfortunately, some believe that web design is a simple process that can be done without much training. The result is that many websites are not very user-friendly. We have all experienced poorly designed websites where pages take too long to download, text is indiscernible over a wildly patterned background, and navigation is confusing. In this course, you will learn the design principles and conventions that web design experts employ to create well-designed websites. This first chapter will provide an overview of how the Internet and the World Wide Web began and how they developed over the years. You will also learn about relevant technologies and terms related to the Internet and the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web and the Internet are not the same thing. The Internet is a worldwide computer network that links thousands of smaller networks; whereas, the World Wide Web is a system of Internet servers that support specially formulated documents.

...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.

...World Wide Drug Case Introduction In this case, there are three parties who play substantial roles in this case: Ahmed Diba (Controller of the Body Products Division of World Wide Drugs), Cheryl Kelly (President of the same division), and the Executive Committee for World Wide Drugs (WWD). Diba is set to put together a proposal for a new product to be developed in the Body Products Division for WWD; the proposal was to be ultimately reviewed and decided upon by the WWD Executive Committee. However when complete, Kelly scans the report and criticizes the fact Diba included a variable cost for the product devoted to dealing with possible litigation fees. She ordered for it to be removed, as it would unnecessarily reduce the contribution margin for the product; thus reducing the likely of the project being accepted. However, she did assure Diba that he would be given a chance to mention the litigation fee to the executive committee when they would present the proposal. Unfortunately, Kelly never did tell Diba about the actual meeting and when it took place. Instead, she decided to attend the executive meeting on her own, and presented the proposal. It was only when the proposal was accepted by the committee and that their division was given the green light to operate, that Diba was told of what had transpired. Kelly’s reasoning for not bringing Ahmed along was that it would her division money if only she went, as the meeting was supposedly held in Toronto. Identification...

...The idea of a man and a woman getting married has been past down from generations all over the world and in every culture. Although a couple marrying to formalize their relationship is true throughout the world, but how it happens and the inter workings of a marriage differ from culture to culture. This is because of the social construction an area puts on its people. The way people celebrate this coming together of two people is what is important, and the idea that this relationship means more than others do symbolizes this. Exactly what is a marriage? This is the question that has to be answered before you delve farther in. Marriage is the union of two people planning to spend the rest of their lives together. Around seventy percent of people marry at some point in their life. Most weddings include some kind of weddings vows that are said to one another, the presentation of a gift, and the proclamation of the marriage by an authority figure or leader (Wikipedia, 1). No culture does a wedding exactly the same as another. There is no such thing as the same ole wedding, because not two wedding are the same. The social construction that a culture puts on people deems what their wedding will be like. Weddings in the same area, under the same culture norms, are very similar, but an American wedding and a Middle Eastern wedding are two totally different experiences. This is not because that is the way we want it, but because it is what we know as right. We are taught all these...

...Precision Worldwide Inc. manufactures steel rings, which are used in certain machines. French firm Henri Poulenc competitor of Precision Worldwide Inc is introducing a plastic ring, which is a substitute for the steel retaining rings. Hans Thorborg, general manager of Precision Worldwide Inc. is worried because the plastic rings not only have a longer life than the steel rings but are also manufactured at a lower price. PWI has a large quantity of steel rings and substantial inventory of special steel. In a meeting, the general manager, the sales manager, the accountant and the development engineer discussed the possible problems and alternatives for this problem. For PWI, manufacturing plastic rings was defiantly the best solution for the problem but they still wondered what they would do with the inventory they had. According to the sales manager, customers new about the new plastic rings and were asking if PWI was already selling them. The development engineer calculated that the plastic rings could be by mid-September. The sales manager thought that since the plastic rings could be produced at a really low cost, the inventory problem was irrelevant. He suggested that if the steel rings couldn’t be sold they should just throw them away. Another problem was that Henri Poulenc was selling the plastic rings at the same price that PWI was selling the steel rings. Not manufacturing the plastic rings would be like ignore a considerable profit margin. In the meeting they concluded...

...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...

...Life before the World Wide Web versus life after the World Wide Web How was life for us before the World Wide Web versus after the World Wide Web? It seems that we have grown so accustomed to the World Wide Web; it is as if we never had to do with out it. We have to really think hard as to some of the things we did before the introduction of the World Wide Web. The things we did that we no longer do are pilling up on us more and more. The past now seems like a distant memory, although our time with the world wide web is not as long as our past without it seems. The art of the handwritten letter, has taken a turn for the worse. The way that we look up our technology, it used to be a lot of studying in libraries. This type of research has also changed. What is even more outstanding is the almost extinction of the typewriter. It is outstanding to me that although we have the life that is very advanced in so many ways after the world wide web. We still were able to do quite well with our lives before it. Now it seems that not only does this post-world wide web society seem to thrive with these technological advances. However, it also seems that we feel we could never do with out any of them. I remember back when I was a child, how much my mother use to love to write letters. She even got me started on writing letters. The written word was very important to her as well as my instructors. I had instructors that were very strict about not only how to write but as well when to write...
