The Internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices. With the Internet, it's possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more. You can do all of this by connecting a computer to the Internet, which is also called going online. ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the network of networks that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. The Internet was created for the government to share information
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. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. Today the world wide web opened up the internet to everyone, not just scientists. It connected the world in a way that made it much easier for people to get information, share, and communicate. It has since allowed people to share their work and thoughts through social networking sites, blogs, video sharing, and more.
The world wide web, or web for short, are the pages you see when you're at a device and you're online. But the internet is the network of connected computers that the web works on, as well as what emails and files travel across.
On August 6, 1991, the first website was introduced to the world. The first website contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee. Yes the first website is still up, here is the link: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
Hedy Lamarr, who was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s as well as an inventor who holds the patent for frequency hopping, which is used in wireless communications today like WiFi and Bluetooth. There is a song about her called This is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr by Jeff Beck and Johny Depp.
Jaap Haartsen has been active in the area of wireless communications for more than 25 years. In 1994, he laid the foundations for the system that was later known as the Bluetooth Wireless Technology, enabling connections between a seemingly endless array of devices.Jim Kardach named bluetooth, he was from Intel and suggested Bluetooth as a temporary code name. The logo is actually the initials of Harald Bluetooth in Old Norse runic symbols. The merging of these two runic letters has a double meaning.
While many people and organizations were involved, the person who contributed the most to the WiFi we know today is Vic Hayes. Many consider Hayes, who invented WiFi and call him “the father of WiFi.” He was the committee chairman that created IEEE 802.11 standards in 1997. WIFI was originally called WaveLAN.The name WiFi was created by a marketing firm hired by WECA and chosen for its pleasing sound and similarity to “hi-fi”
