History of Web and Internet
The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. Web is a huge collection of pages of information linked to each other around the globe.
History of WWW:
- WWW was created by Sir Tim Berners Lee in 1989 at CERN in Geneva.
- In 1990 , the first text only browsers were set up and CERN scientists could access hypertext files and other information at CERN. HTML was based on a subset of the standard generalized markup language (SGML). To transfer HTML documents to remote sites a new protocol was devised called HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).
- In the fall of 1991, conferences around the world started hearing about the promise but sparks still were not flying.
- In 1993, there were only about 50 websites worldwide. A browser that allowed users to take advantage of the web’s graphical capabilities was developed at the National center for SuperComputing application (NCSA) . NCSA called the browser Mosaic.
