ABSTRACT
Hypermedia systems and hypertext have given a universal access to a big number of documents over the Internet, and the World Wide Web was the most successful and popular one to link the biggest amount of hypertext documents from all over the world, despite the existence of other sophisticated hypermedia systems in time. These systems specialized with richer navigation experience, and were competing with the W3. This report will be focusing on the aspects that enhanced and empowered the success and achievements of the World

They are systems that are accessed from heterogeneous architectures like different operating systems [6]. One of the main aspects in open hypermedia system is that they have Link bases and Link services, but links and anchors are separated from the documents which allows an easier filtration and modifications for documents and files, since they have first class links as opposed to the World Wide Web which uses embedded links [6,8,9]. In Microcosm for example, you need to ask the system to see what links might be available from a specific document while W3 just shows all the links [6]. Microcosm architecture was similar to Dexter’s, it has a document management system that takes care of the structures within nodes, it has the presentation layer that is responsible for displaying the information and it has the link services which gives the links that are accessible from a document [6]. Parsing documents in Microcosm was done through decomposed filters which resulted in a complicated architecture regarding other systems that uses the client/server one, but it allowed a very rich model of linking especially with the generic link [6]. In addition, it allowed a flexible document processing since it has multiple link bases and had an integration with third-party applications [6]. Microcosm was designed as a desktop-based system for
The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive
Have you ever seen the television show on NBC Dateline To Catch a Predator? Well if you haven’t, Chris Hansen, the host of the show, has a set up to catch predators online who are trying to meet younger children and arrest predators for trying to seduce young children. This is just one case of why parents are becoming more worried for their children to be using the Internet. Parents strive to find ways to keep their children safe while using the Internet and there are several ways you can do that right at home by protecting your children, having the computer in a high traffic place, and blocking websites.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is an British physicist,who is also known for his invention that changed the history of computers and our life: The World Wide Web. Until 1990, people were using Internet only for e-mail because information on the Internet was spread and there was not a way to access it all.All that changed with the invention of the World Wide Web. The whole idea of World Wide Web was simple thought on Berners Lee’s mind that it would be great idea for researchers to be able find the documents they needed from any computer in the world.In 1980, he made his first attempt to create resource by writing a program called Enquire to organize documents, lists of people, and the projects on his computer.The hypertext program on his computer would
The data is then sent back through the system to the original user. The information that is on the data coming back could have came from a wide array of sources such as books, financial markets, embedded chips or even made up by someone trying to fool the user. The History? The Internet is first
What was to ultimately turned out to be known as The Internet' was developed in the 1960s through funding by the US military so as to discover a means of making possible communication in the event of nuclear conflict . Until the beginning of 1990s, though, the Internet was the sphere of influence of academics as well as researchers as commercial use was proscribed. A process of commercialization began in the late 1980s and the wider use this encouraged was to be given an additional heightening with the emergence of the World Wide Web in the beginning of 1990s. The progress of browsers in the early 1990s which facilitated web pages to be viewed in a graphical format in color after that brought the benefits of the Internet to a wider

Technologies that have contributed to the exponential growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW)
In the connection of the World Wide Web, a bookmark is a provincially put away Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). All present day web programs incorporate bookmark highlights. Bookmarks are called top choices or Internet alternate ways in Internet Explorer and by ideals of that program 's vast piece of the overall industry, these terms have been synonymous with bookmark since the first program war. Bookmarks are ordinarily gotten to through a menu in the client 's web program, and organizers are generally utilized for association. Notwithstanding bookmarking systems inside most programs, numerous outside applications offer bookmark administration.
The components in the internet abide to some rules also called protocol to perform the task. The web or World wide web is one such thing. It is basically a system of interconnected servers that support special formatted documents. These documents are formatted in markup language, HTML (Hypertext markup language), it supports link or references to other documents, as well as audio, video and graphics. Whether you build web pages for personal or for professional purposes, you will find it useful to review and learn a few technologies that make up the internet, and to understand the importance of the medium and the factors that influence how information is published.
Communication--it is a fundamental part of our everyday lives. It characterizes who we are, what we do, and how we relate to others in society. It is a very powerful tool that holds many different uses for our basic needs and survival. At a very simplistic level, it is key in attaining our very basic needs for survival. In that respect, it is key in achieving all needs in Maslows hierarchy. Its uses and possibilities endless.
This paper will compare and analyze theoretical ideas found in Hamlet on the Holodeck by Janet H. Murry focusing on Chapter 10 “Hamlet on the Holodeck” as it relates to hypertext as a specific medium for writing, and Writing Space by Jay David Bolter focusing on Chapter 7 “Interactive Fiction” and chapter 8 “Critical Theory in a New Writing Space” and their emphasis on digital poetry and the increased role of the reader in the reading process. The information taken from these two works will then be compared to the interactive hypertext webpage entitled “Heading South” by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) English graduate student, Cheryl Ball.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
Following the success of Netscape and its web browser, Internet became a resource and communication platform idolized by many IT students in the universities. What started off as a hobby-cum-research[1] work by Jerry Yang (now Chief of Yahoo!) and David Filo (Co-founder of Yahoo!) for their Ph.D. dissertations; has evolved and became an Internet sensation over time. What they did was to compile all their favourite web links to form an online directory for easy navigation in the World Wide Web. The duo’s work immediately garnered a lot of attention from many surfers in the Internet world and before they realized it, Yahoo! became one of the most highly visited websites of all time. The duo saw the
The very fundamental purpose of Internet is to provide an open information framework with few access barriers to information. There are several potential risks associated with the implementation of Internet in the organization. So managers should pay attention to it and avoid it.
