Internet vs World Wide Web Assignment

     The internet  connects to computers all over the world through different  routers. In the 1960's, the U.S. Department of Defense funded the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which was the first prototype of the internet. The scientist were able to use several computers to commune on one network. In the 1970's, Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf created the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The protocols were able to pass on data to several networks. In 1983, the ARPANET was able to use the TCP/IP to create the "network of networks" known today as the internet (Andrews 5). The Department of Defense wanted to create the internet for military purposes, but today the internet allows people to communicate with different people around the whole world. The internet allows us to shop without getting out of bed, watch our favorite television shows, pay our bills and etc.  

    The World Wide Web allows users to go through different documents or links at the same time. The World Wide Web is how we are able to copy and paste links, text, pictures, and other items to wherever we put them.  In 1989, a Switzerland native, Tim Berners-Lee created the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) "which standardized communication between servers and clients." (Britannica 2). The World Wide Web was originally used for scientist and physicist. Today the World Wide Web is used by using features like Google, Safari, Internet Explorer, and many others. People use Google and the others to look up information they need, shop, and many others. 

    The Internet and World Wide Web are used to work together. If we don't have internet access then we cannot use the World Wide Web it won't load or display the right way. The Web is a collection of information, which we need access to the internet to be able to see The first web browser was created in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee . The web browser is still up today.
