Since time immemorial, the human being has always sought to generate connections with his patrons, in the same way that he has always sought to belong to something .
For these purposes the human being is able to make any invention, this can be verified with the Internet, which does not need much presentation, to know all the benefits we can achieve with it .
That is why in this article we are going to touch the subject of the Internet a bit, but not from its origin as such, but rather from the origin of one of the elements that made the Internet what we know today , the World Wide Web.
Index:
The World Wide Web that is best known by most as “WWW.” is a gigantic network of nodes, which allow us to view all kinds of content, text, video or image on our device Either a mobile or a computer.
This is a large network of web pages to which we can access with an Internet connection, is also called by many a hypertexts service that are connected to them by hyperlinks.
The World Wide Web ensures that all information nodes that we want to access , have their respective address , what we know as the link to a web page.
Without this immense mesh working in synergy with the Internet, the information would be a complete chaos, and we would have a lot of difficulty accessing it, or perhaps simply the best invention in history , which is the Internet did not exist.
WWW history How and when was the world web born?
Now that we have a small notion of what the World Wide Web is, it is important that we know a little about how the origin was and the arrival of this technology as we know it.
It is curious to mention that great inventions or truly revolutionary inventions and that represent a great advance for humanity are not born overnight and WWW was no exception .
Since this technology was gradually developed during 3 different times and by different characters, or at least it is what history records us.
The beginning is in 1940 thanks to the idea of an American engineer Vannevar Bush , which was based on a system that allowed to find the information stored in a database with high precision and speed data.
In other words, through this interface called Memex by its creator, information could be accessed through a call or password . This project unfortunately could not be completed, but based on this idea a little later another invention called Xanandú makes the proposal a little more formal of the Hypertexts.
This other project was presented in the 50s by Ted Nelson and Douglas Engelbart, but they needed something crucial the Internet, which was still in diapers and would not be fully operational until the late 60s.
But in the end it turned out to be Tim Berners Lee a British computer scientist , who in 1989 began working on the idea of the WWW, whose success lies in the union of the Internet to the idea of hypertexts, and With this, the hyperlink system was developed, which is nothing more than a system that allows each web resource to have its own specific link.
Berners Lee developed his project at the hands of CERN European nuclear research organization located in Switzerland, and formally presented his project on August 6, 1991. Thanks to a NeXT company server and a computer from the same achievement to create the first web page on which the whole idea and its function was , in such a way that it expanded throughout the globe.
The World Wide Web was finally launched in 1993 by CERN, and after that it has only grown.
Java and javascripts, impact of this language on the web
The Java languages and JavaScripts although they are not such an integral part of the Internet, these have become essential, for the good performance of the web pages. Perhaps those who integrated JavaScripts on the web, at the time of doing so did not know that this could have significance in this world.
They were wrong since one of their main functions is to complement with a language as strong for this technological world as HTML.
In addition, JavaScripts allows webpage components to load better and faster, and this greatly improves the Internet browsing experience. On the other hand Java, which although they have a similar name has nothing to do with the previous one, was launched by Sun Microsystems was designed to improve the visual part of the web pages ie the interface , even so It was not widely used and replaced over the years by HTML5.
But its strong point on this side of technology has been the great platform support it provides to servers.
What are the main World Wide Web standards?
Web standards are the languages and protocols that were established so that the operation of the network is the most appropriate and also fully compatible with any device we are using. In 1994 Tim Berners Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium , and after this they set about setting the standards that would govern the WWW.
Now we’ll meet them:
Standard uniform resource identifier URL
Uniforms Resource Locators or URL for its acronym in English, it is the identification system of the web pages with all its resources.
Standard HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol
This standard is responsible for establishing the correct communication between the server and the browser.
HTML Hypertext Markup Language Standard
This parameter defines the structure and content of a web.
XML extensible markup language standard
It is responsible for describing the structure of the web content. It is important to highlight that all these bases were established under the assumptions that everything you share on the web is free of charge easily accessible anywhere in the world and free of rights. All of this was done by the W3C or better known as World Wide Web Consortium, under the direction of Tim Berners Lee .
Impact of WWW How did this new telecommunications technology change the world?
On this issue we can only contribute positive things because since the arrival of the Internet in our lives, and more specifically in the field of communication, has done nothing but break all barriers and open new paths to express art, science and feelings .
Really Internet has earned a place in all business and commercial fields , reducing distances when doing business or getting jobs, and the same goes for interpersonal relationships.
Since its arrival, this powerful tool has organized and structured for all users endless resources and information that have increased the skills of those who know how to make the most of them. For this reason it is not surprising that the younger generations that were born in this era cannot imagine a world without access to this .
We conclude this point by saying that the Internet has become a monster of mass communication, which allows us to reach anywhere in the world.
And the Deep Web? What role does the “Dark Internet” play in the WWW?
The Deep Web can generate many controversies just by hearing that they mention their name , but leaving aside myths and false beliefs a little, the deep Internet is only the content of Internet that is simply not indexed in conventional search engines.
Therefore, this indicates that not all the content of the Deep Web is murky, or illegal, quite the contrary, many websites and blogs work in this way, either because they offer a private service, there are many.
It is said that the information we see on the World Wide Web or the common Internet only accounts for approximately 15 percent of the total existing, which leaves us the other 85 percent divided between the Deep Web and the Dark Web which can represent dark and illegal things .
There is a theory that the great world powers use this anonymous part of the Internet to handle various information that cannot be public knowledge.
The first browser was created by Tim Berners Lee who was a browser and a web page editor at the same time, while the WWW was not launched this browser remained a simple software. But, from 1993 when the WWW was released to the public , the first graphic browser was created which was named Mosaic.
When we are currently talking about a Web browser we are referring to software with sufficient graphic power such as processing floating information on the Internet network and showing it to us on the screen, whether in video, image or text .
It is a great tool that is an integral part of our day to day since without it we could not have access to the Internet. From a browser you can say that it is an instrument capable of reading and interpreting all Web programming languages to present users with clean and graphically pleasing content.
In the search bar of a browser is where the call to the hyperlink that will send the information to our view begins. This call travels from the browser to an address server , which then redirects it to the server where the site data is located.
When the browser obtains access to the server, it locates the “Index” file and immediately begins translating the code, and begins to accommodate the visual components of the web page and presents them on the screen. This process usually occurs in a matter of seconds and that simple is the basic process of a browser.
What are the main types of websites that can be created on the web? World?
Websites are basically cataloged in two ways according to their structure, static websites are those that are only for presenting a unique information perhaps on a single home page, are widely used as conversion pages and for sales , and often redirect the user to another page .
On the other hand we have dynamic Web sites which make the user feel part of the community allowing him to comment, even upload files to share, and usually have a more complex structure. But we can also catalog them according to the type of content they offer and then we have some of the most prominent .
Blogs
Blogs are the most common websites today, they can be personal or professional , and in them the creator or editor is responsible for giving their opinion on the subject that is required, and also in line with its theme.
Social networks
They are all those pages that allow us to create a profile in order to post stories, images and videos , so that all our friends, family and followers can see them , and above all hold conversations with the people closest to our lives.
CMS
Content Management System is a type of web page that offers users services so that they can manage content to upload their own web pages without the need to have knowledge in programming .
