The increasing place in our life is occupied by the Internet.No other technology created by man has gained such wide popularity. The Internet is the World Wide Web, which spans the entire globe, enveloping it with a network of TV towers. He began to acquire his popularity in the relatively distant 1990s. In the article we will discuss where it came from and for what reason it became so popular.
Internet as the World Wide Web
The second title of the similar plan was resultedfor good reason. The fact is that the Internet brings together many users around the world. Like a spider web, it envelops the entire globe with its threads. And this is not an ordinary metaphor, indeed it is. The Internet is a wire and wireless networks, the second of which are not visible to us.
But this is a lyrical digression, in factThe Internet is connected to the World Wide Web (www, or Word Wide Web). It covers all computers connected to the web. On remote servers, users store the necessary information, and can also communicate on the web. Often under this name understand the World or the Global Network.
It is based on several particularly importantprotocols like TCP / IP. Thanks to the Internet, the World Wide Web, or another Word Wide Web (WWW) operates, that is, it transmits and receives data.
Number of Users
At the end of 2015, a study was conducted onthe basis of which obtained the following data. The number of Internet users worldwide is 3.3 billion. And this is almost 50% of the total population of our planet.
Such high rates were achievedthanks to the proliferation of 3G cellular networks and high-speed 4G. An important role was played by providers, due to the massive introduction of Internet technologies, reduced costs for maintaining servers and manufacturing fiber optic cables. In most European countries, Internet speed is higher than in Africa. This explains the technical lag of the latter and the widespread demand for the service.
Why is the Internet called the World Wide Web?
As it is not a paradox, but many usersWe are sure that the above term and the Internet are one and the same. This deep confusion, which hovers in the minds of many users, is caused by the similarity of concepts. Now we understand what's what.
The World Wide Web is often confused with the similar phrase "World Wide Web". It represents a certain amount of information based on the technology of the Internet.
History of the World Wide Web
By the end of the 90s in the world finallyNSFNet dominance over ARPANET is approved. Strangely enough, but one research center was engaged in their development. By order of the US Ministry of War was developed ARPNET. Yes, the first to use the Internet were the military. And the NSFNet technology was developed independently of public services, practically with pure enthusiasm.
It was the competition between the two developments that becamethe ground for their further development and mass introduction into the world. The World Wide Web became available to the masses in 1991. She had to work somehow, and Berners Lee started developing a system for the Internet. In two years of successful work, he created hypertext, or HTTP, the famous HTML electronic language and URL. We do not need to go into details, because now we see them as normal links for site addresses.
Information space
First of all, this is an informationalspace accessed by the Internet. It allows the user to have access to data that are on the servers. If you use the visual-shaped way, the Internet is a volume cylinder, and the World Wide Web is what fills it.
Through a program called "browser",the user is accessing the Internet for surfing the Web. It consists of an uncountable set of sites that are based on servers. They are connected to computers and are responsible for the safety, downloading, viewing data.
Spider webs and modern man
Currently Homo sapiens in developed countriesalmost fully integrated with the World Wide Web. We are not talking about our grandparents or remote villages, where they don’t know about any Internet.
Previously, a person in search of information sentstraight to the library. And it often happened that the book he needed was not there, then he had to go to other institutions with archives. Now the need for such manipulations has disappeared.
In biology, all species names consist of three words, for example, our full name Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. Now we can safely add the fourth word internetiys.
The Internet captures the minds of humanity
Agree, we scoop practically allinformation from the Internet. We have tons of information in our hands. Tell us about this to our ancestor, he would greedily buried himself in the monitor screen and would have spent all his free time there in search of information.
Именно Интернет вывел человечество на a fundamentally new level, it contributes to the creation of a new culture - mixed or multi. Representatives of different nations mimic and adapt, as if merging their customs into one pot. Where then comes the final product.
It is especially useful for academics, moreThere is no need to gather at meetings in the country, which is located 1000 km from yours. You can share experiences and without a personal meeting, for example, through instant messengers or social networks. And if an important issue needs to be discussed, then you can do it through Skype.
Conclusion
Всемирная паутина - это составляющая Интернета.Her work is provided by the server storage, which provide information to the user upon his request. The network itself was developed thanks to scientists from the United States and their enthusiasm.
