subject: History Of World Wide Web Internet [print this page] The Internet has it's origins in the creative work of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government. APRA heavily developed communication systems, and a computer communications network called ARPANET in 1969. But the general public didnt use the Internet much until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.
In 1957, the U.S. government formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), a segment of the Department of Defense charged with ensuring U.S. leadership in science and technology with military applications. In 1969, ARPA established ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet.
The World Wide Web came into being in 1991, thanks to developer Tim Berners-Lee and others at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, also known as Conseil European pour la Recherche Nucleure (CERN). The World Wide Web, abbreviated as WWW and commonly known as the Web, is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. Berners-Lee now directs the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a group of industry and university representatives that oversees the standards of Web technology.
The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, and human culture, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project. TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a set of protocols developed for the internet in the 1970s to get data from one network device to another. Two recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP protocol
The Most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web. Its outstanding feature is links, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are clickable. If you move the pointer over a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you click and be transferred to another site.
To view files on the Web, you need Web browsing software. You use this software to view different locations on the web, which are known as Web pages. A group of Web pages is a Web site. The first page of a Web site is often called home page.
Just as each household in the world has a unique address, each Web page in the world has a unique Internet address, sometimes called URL. For example, the Internet address of the econcept infotech home page is http://www..econceptinfotech.com
Internet becomes crowed platform of websites. Website optimization is effective method to bring visitors to your site and convert them to customers. Website promotion covers various subject which helps site to rank on top position on search results and linkbuilding is major factor behind effective site optimization.
