The Revolutionary Creation And The Liberation Of The World Wide Web

The author’s study of the Internet’s genesis makes systematic links between the technological development and its organizational, social, and cultural environment. There are many available histories on the Internet, in print and online. Most are well-documented information on technology and its history. Some mention the fundamental concepts of communication, information, and knowledge. Abbate's work, however, goes beyond ordinary facts and her findings are most revealing.

According to ourworldindata.org, as of 2015, there were over 3 billion internet users worldwide. Today, the world is much different than it was fifteen years ago, much less fifty years ago. The progression of technology has been even more significant than ever before in the last several years, but has ultimately lead us astray from our core character. The production of cell phones, social media updates, websites, and technological tools is constant, but these new and improved technologies have left the world with very few longstanding advancements. Though the internet has brought the world innumerable innovative opportunities, life before technology was much more efficient, filled with many more promising benefits: responsibility, socialization skills, and controversy.

Never has a communications system played so many roles in our lives--or exerted such broad influence over our thoughts--as the Internet does today.

The author compares the difference from the past and the present and how the internet has changed not only himself, but others and the way that they are able to understand and focus due to the long-term use of the web. While comparing the past and the present the author gathers information from well know writers that feel the same way about the effects of the web. The author's choice of personal experiences, vivid imagery and analysis backed by research hook the reader and persuades them to believe that today's technology is causing mainly problems.

Internet is a global network that connects millions of computers together and allows people to communicate and share information with each other in an effective and easy way. It has become the most widely used means of communications of recent times. “The number of U.S. homes with one or more personal computers increased by 16% (in 1995) to about 38 million households, up from 33 million in 1994 and 25 million in 1993” (Fox 9). “Along with that staggering stat, the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science has reported that 95% of the public has access to the Internet” (“Free Essay”). Internet is filled with a lot of information on almost every topic in the world and anyone

Throughout the past 20 years, the focus on the World Wide Web has been a compelling area of social, political, and economical innovation. At one time, the internet was a tool that promoted collaboration in the realm of research as it was used as a means of sharing scholarly documents between universities. However, since that time, the internet has evolved into being a way of life. “Many people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web, or just the Web, interchangeably, but the two terms are not synonymous. The World Wide Web is the primary application that billions of people use on the Internet, and it has changed their lives immeasurably (author unknown, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet).” Before there can be an at length discussion

The Internet has changed our lives. Some people spend many hours browsing the Internet. However, what appears obvious, the question remains, why do people use the Internet? I will share a list of the top reasons why I turn to the web, over and over again and some of the ways the Internet has influenced society positively and negatively.

The internet of things (IoT) is the growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address that allow them to connect to the Internet. It is also considered as the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems. The types of interactions this network can have are people-people, people-machines, and machines-machines (M2M). The IoT broadens the scope of devices that can connect to the Internet from traditional devices, like laptops and computers, to a diverse range of devices that use embedded technology to communicate and interact with the external environment through the Internet. The number of devices that are connected to the IoT is exploding, with the current number being around 12 billion devices worldwide. Several researchers estimate that there will be 26 times more connected things than people by 2020. There are a number of explanations as to why this is happening. One reason is the huge increase in address space that IPV6 offers. The expansion was so large that every atom on the earth could be assigned an address, and there would still be enough addresses for another one hundred earths. Another reason is that cloud-based applications are allowing the use of leveraged data by taking all of the information from the devices, interpreting it, and transmitting the information. The power of computing by using the

The Internet is an international network of interconnected computers that enables millions of people to communicate with each other in Cyberspace. Some refer to the Internet as the World Wide Web- at the time of its creation, the Internet was a designated high-speed network built by the U.S. Department of Defense as a digital communications experiment. The Internet is no longer just a communications experiment and is used in nearly everyone’s lives. “In our contemporary lives, we take for granted the unfathomable scale of the Internet and how it affects everyday life. In 2015, there were an estimated 876,812,666 websites.”

"The Internet is one of a series of aids developed over the last millennium or so that has increased the operational capacities of the average world citizen", (Stefanie Olsen, Sec. 2). With all the new technology so closely on hand, people are starting to wonder about the effects on society and the peoples true ability. The amount of technology in this new world has increased rapidly and is influencing our society by the way they think, the way they work, and by the way they interact socially.

In today’s world 3 billion humans are on the internet but there are also 4 billion people that are not. In the beginning of my study on the future of the internet, I asked myself this question: is it possible that everyone could be online and globally connected? Then I asked myself how, if everyone is online, the future of the internet change the experience of everyday life? Looking back, the internet is still a relatively new phenomenon as it was first created back in the 1960’s by a computer scientist named J.C.R Licklider. He envisioned a network of computers, called the galactic network, which would allow humans to be able to share information instantly. Overtime this is how the internet developed, as many of these networks that shared

Ch 9: Agree: “The computer and the creation of the World Wide Web have transformed the world” (p.166). Rationale: I totally agree with this statement and I believe that the creation of computer and World Wide Web has completely transformed the healthcare system. Now instead of personally visiting the doctor for little things you can simply e-mail and request prescriptions online. For an example, when e-mailing the doctors did not exist, I would waste my time and pay co-payments for non-urgent things. Couple of weeks ago, I woke up with a rash on my eye and I simply took a picture and described my symptoms to the doctor. Within 24 hours my doctor replied back and prescribed me antibiotics, which I also ordered online without wasting my time

During the 1990s, people have generally used computers to write papers, play games, and track business productivity; however, this was not use for communication, research, shopping and online banking. Tim Berners Lee has changed how individuals use the Internet may access the World Wide Web. This presented paper highlights the history of the Internet and the development of the World Wide Web. It also describes the masterminds who created and developed the Web, enabled its popularization through the Web browser, and greatly improved its value by enabling web search. With the whole technology advances and changes, the differences between the first generation, Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is also important to consider because it does affect the use of the Internet, as well as education philosophy changes. An economic bubble happens whenever the price of an asset soars then plummets over a certain period of time. The United States market’s dot com bubble began in April 1997 and ended in June 2003. In the aftermath of the bubble burst, there were many companies that survived such as Amazon and Google; however, dot com businesses such as pet.com and webvan.com have failed during the burst. During this period, competition was great, where much of the social gain from the Internet was passed to the consumers, leaving little surplus in the hands of the investors.

The biggest change of our time all began less than a generation ago when the world met the internet. The internet revolutionized world-wide capabilities in communication, and changed the way that people, firms, and even governments communicate. Furthermore, it has created a change in society, by connecting people anywhere on the globe and giving them access to information. It has also fueled industries, making significant changes in industries all over the world, and allowing new industries to emerge into the digital age. People and the internet have grown together, resulting in a world like the one we live in today, but it was not always this way.

Never in the history of mankind has there been a movement that has swept across the world like wildfire the way the Internet has. The advent of the World Wide Web unleashed a spate of innovations closely related to the Internet that made available, endless possibilities to people everywhere. Sir Tim Brenner invented it, in 1989 (History of the web, webfoundation.org, 2016) and in order to grow this innovation of the web, Brenner did not retain the rights to the technology because he believed that, “Had the technology been proprietary, and in my total control, it would probably not have taken off. You can’t propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it.”( History of the web, webfoundation.org, 2016). The web, commonly known as the Internet has resulted in many various ways in which life has been made far better than any period in the history of mankind. It has reduced the vastness of the globe, the universe among other things. People are able today, because of the web, to exchange ideas with others in all parts of the globe through social media.
