When you hear the term World Wide Web or the Web most people think Internet. I know I did. During my research of the web I found this not to be true. The World Wide Web and the Internet work together. An interesting fact the Internet has be around longer than the Web.

The Internet provides the framework for the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web was designed to make links to information from anywhere. The World Wide Web was introduce in the early nineties by Time Berners-Lee from the CERN (European Counsil for Nuclear Research) laboratories in Switzerland. After the World Wide Web was introduced; it growth was fast because CERN provided World Wide Web technology and program code free to anyone to use or make changes.
The Web has transformed Internet from just share documents to be able to shop, do business , pay bill , attend college and entertainment.

It is hard to believe that the Internet and the web have are been around since the nineties. But this technology has changed the world in such as short time. I found it very interesting that the web technology and programs code was given free. I wonder if there was a fee charge would the Internet and world wide web grow as fast as it did. I remember when all this was happening you could never up with the improvement and advancement of technology. Every year or two you need to by a new computer.
